Chapter 24

Summary: When Holden gets to Mr. Antolini's apartment they have dinner and there are dishes and glasses everywhere. Mr. Antolini is making coffee for Holden and Holden can tell that he is drunk. He asks him about Pencey and why he got kicked out and Holden says that they are to strick for him. Antolini begins to lecture Holden and tells him that his life has been a downfall. He then writes something down on a piece of paper and gives it to Holden. Holden is tired and Antolini helps him make his bed and tells him goodnight. Holden suddenly wakes up and feels Mr. Antolini's hand touching him. He figures that he is going to do something to hurt him so he leaves the apartment very quickly.

Response: Holden respects Mr. Antolini and it is good that he listens to him. Where is Holden going to go now that he left the house. I think Holden should man up and go home.

New Character: Mr. Antolini, one of Holden's old school teachers.
