Chapter 2

Summary: When he gets to Mr. Spencer's home a couple of blocks from the college. He is greeted by Mr. Spencer's wife and he tells him that Mr. Spencer is in his room and is sick. He goes in the room and meets with his teacher. Mr. Spencer lectures him about all the things he has done bad at the college and all of the classes he has failed and even reminds him that he failed his class as well. Spencer wants him to think about his future and he gets up and leaves.

Response: I don't think that Spencer should have tried to lecture Holden about getting his life together and thinking about his future. I'm sure he has heard it all before and it isn't going to help. I feel that Holden was going to this teacher to get away and say goodbye, not to get lecctured.
