Summary:
First of all Holden gets kicked out of college and for what reason? It's because he is failing all of his classes, if he would of been more diligent with his work and he stopped ostracizing his work he would of done a lot better. However, Holden was apparently oblivious towards school, which ended up leading him down the wrong path of failure. On the other hand, Holden might have been failing all his classes, but he was not dumb in any shape or form. This book also unravels itself in a very interesting way. As i was reading the summary on the cover of the book I saw that it stated that this novel contains many voices of which include children and adults. I also saw that it was very interesting how i found some of the words that we receive for vocabulary being put into context. Well, basically what the first section of this book is doing is that it's describing what the main plot is going to basically be throughout the story. I can infer that Holden is going to be a troublemaker since the book has already told us that this is his third school in which he encountered difficulties in.

Response:
Further expanding what I brought up before about inferring that Holden would be a troublemaker, I also had some help coming up with that inference from Holden's statement of being a great liar. If someone comes clean about being a great liar what they are trying to say is that they have gotten experience and have learned to make parents and even anyone they have contact with become gullible.
