PENCY PREP

BY: MIGUEL DESMOINEAUX

THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!

DORM ROOM

  • Holden decides to leave Pency Prep and he arrives to New York City several days after his parents expected him to
  • Holden leaves Pency because he failed all of the classes but one and that was because he had already read the book thet they were questioning in the class.
  • He felt very lonely and depressed, which is where the downwards spiral of Holden's self esteem starts.
  • "Sleep tight ya morons!" (pg.52)
  • "When I was all set to go, when I had my bags and all, I stood for a while next to the stairs and took a last look down the goddam corridor. I was sort of crying." (pg.52)
  • Before we go to him after Pency, lets talk about his room here.

HOLDEN' S HOME

  • Holden walks home and sneaks into the apartment
  • He wakes up Phoebe who is sleeping in D.B's room.
  • Holden gives her the pieces of the broken record
  • Then they begin talking, and during this long conversation, Phoebe guesses that Holden got kicked out of school.
  • In this talk Holden reveals that he still thinks about Allie.
  • "Just because somebody's dead, you just don't stop liking them, for God's sake - Especially if they were about a thousand times nicer than the people you know that're alive and all." (pg.223)
  • Before Holden leaves both of them are crying.
  • Phoebe wants Holden to stay for her play.
  • "She's very affectionate. I mean she's quite affectionate, for a child. Sometimes she's even too affectionate. I sort of gave her a kiss." (pg.161)
  • Holden's room at Pency Prep has many stories, but one very important thing to know about it is how Holden's brother is related to it.
  • Holden is very depressed and angry about his brother, Allie's, death.
  • Though his anger is more apparent the night of his death, you can still see it through his harsh vocabulary and his violent and depressing thoughts.
  • "I slept in the garage the night he died, and I broke the goddamn windows with my fist, just for the hell of it." (pg.39)
  • When in his room, his roommate asks him to write a descriptive essay and he writes it about his baseball glove, and how it represents his brother.
  • "Suspense is good for some bastards like Stradlater." (pg.28)
  • Now lets talk about what happens to Holden...

TRAIN STATION

  • While Holden was in the bathroom at Wickers Bar, a "flitty" guy cautions Holden to go home. Then when he is leaving, the hat-check girl also told him to go home.
  • "I gave her a buck for being so nice, but she wouldn't take it. She kept telling me to go home and go to bed. I sort of tried to make a date with her for when she got through working, but she wouldn't do it."
  • When he leaves, he goes to a lagoon in Central Park, where he drops the record "Little Shirley Beans" and then decides to sneak into his home to see Phoebe.
  • "I damn near cried, it made me feel so terrible, but all I did was, I took the pieces out of the envelope and put them in my coat pocket. They weren't any good for anything, but I didn't feel like just throwing them away."

CENTRAL PARK

  • So, Holden leaves Pency, and goes to the train station where he boards a train to New York
  • In that train station he puts his stuff in a booth, and then he boards the train.
  • "The first thing I did when I got off at Penn Station, I went into this phone booth. I felt like giving somebody a buzz. I left my bags right outside the booth so that I could watch them, but as soon as I was inside, I couldn't think of anybody to call up."
  • Then, after him being in the phone booth, he calls a cab, in which he goes to the hotel where he is staying, well he can't go home until vacations.
  • "I'm so damn absent-minded, I gave the driver my regular address, just out of habit and all--I mean I completely forgot I was going to shack up in a hotel for a couple of days and not go home till vacation started. I didn't think of it till we were halfway through the park.

EDMONT BAR

MUSEUM OF NATURAL

HISTORY

  • When in the bar, he meets this three women.
  • "I started giving the three witches at the next table the eye again. That is, the blonde one. The other two were strictly from hunger. I didn't do it crudely, though. I just gave all three of them this very cool glance and all."
  • They are crazy for finding this famous guy which Holden realizes, and starts toying around with them.
  • He says they are phonies an stupid, basically how he thinks everyone is.
  • He dances with them because he feels sorry for how stupid they are and because he doesn't have anything else to do.
  • "I danced with them all- the whole three of them." (pg.73)
  • After going to the bar, he goes to Ernie`s where he drinks a lot, and then he walks back to his hotel room where...
  • In this bar is where Holden gets drunk, yeah and as you could expect, not many things can go well if you get drunk
  • He meets with Carl Luce, and they have an argument because Holden keeps bothering him by bringing up subjects that Carl does not want to talk about.
  • "You still going out with that same babe you used to at Whooton?" (pg.144)
  • Because of this, Carl begins to question Holden's mental health.
  • After this, Luce leaves and Holden stays in the bar.
  • Now alone, Holden starts calling Lucy, and he insists speaking with her when her family is telling him that she is asleep, this being with a very slurred voice, well he was drunk.
  • "Boy was I drunk! I was still holding on to my guys. 'They got me. Rocky's mob got me. You know that Sally? You know that?" (pg.152)
  • After this he leaves the bar, and weirdly, goes to Central Park.

HOTEL ROOM

  • While looking for Phoebe, Holden goes to the Museum of Natural History, but decides not to enter.
  • "Even though it was Sunday and Phoebe wouldn't be there with her class or anything, and even though it was so damp and lousy out, I walked all the way through the park over to the Museum of Natural History." (pg.121)
  • "Then a funny thing happened. When I got to the museum, all of a sudden I wouldn't have gone inside for a million bucks. It just didn't appeal to me--and here I'd walked through the whole goddam park and looked forward to it and all. If Phoebe'd been there, I probably would have, but she wasn't. So all I did, in front of the museum, was get a cab and go down to the Biltmore." (pg.122)
  • After this, he takes a taxi to get to Baltimore where he will meet Sally.

WICKER BAR

  • When Holden is getting to the elevator, the elevator guy asks him if he wants a prostitute for 5 dollars.
  • "Okay. I'll send a girl up in about fifteen minutes.' He opened the doors and I got out."
  • He agrees and then a very weird scene happens.
  • The prostitute is called Sunny, and she goes in the room expecting what any other prostitute would expect, but then she ecnounters herself with Holden.
  • He feels very weird about this so then he regrets everything and does not have sex with her, he just wants to talk.
  • This scene ends very awkwardly with her going out of the room with 10 dollars and not having any sex.
  • "Who's hurtin' anybody? He said innocent as hell." (pg.101)
  • After this happened, Holden leaves

ROCKEFELLER CENTER

  • What happens in this location is very important to understand, or at least try to understand Holden.
  • He goes to the Rockefeller Center after going to the play with Sally.
  • When they get there they try skating but they are very bad at it so then they seat somewhere they can seat.
  • First they start arguing about a soda, but then the conversation ends up with Holden ranting about phonies.
  • "You never saw so many phonies in all your life, everybody smoking their ears off and talking about the play so that everybody could hear and know how sharp they were." (pg.126)
  • Then after that, he tells Sally this crazy idea he has about running away with her to this perfect life without phonies.
  • He ends up upsetting Sally and leaving without her to a bar where he will get drunk and do some stupid stuff.
  • "Look,' I said. 'Here's my idea. How would you like to get the hell out of here?"
