CITR+Ch+23

Holden leaves Phoebe room to give Mr. Antolini a call after he remembers the suicide of the student at his school one time. Mr. Antolini is surprised to find out that Holden has been expelled again and tells him that he is welcome to stay at his house for the night. Holden tells us that Mr Antolini was the only one who showed concern and kindness to the boy who committed suicide. That he carried the boy to the nurse without minding the fact that blood was getting seeped into his clothes. Holden hangs up and goes back to Phoebe's room and asks her if she wants to dance. After dancing for a while, they hear their parents come through the front door and Holden quickly tries to get rid of the smoke and hides. The mother comes in to tuck Phoebe in and smells the smoke and asks her if she had been smoking. Phoebe takes the fall for Holden and tells the mother that she only did one puff because she couldn't fall asleep. After the mother leaves, Holden comes out of hiding and asks Phoebe if she has any money. She offers him her Christmas money and Holden cries. Then he gives her his red hunting hat because she likes those kinds of hats. Holden then leaves the house casually and hopes that he might get caught by his parents, but he doesn't get caught.
 * Chapter 23 notes by Ellen Park**

====Holden leaves Phoebe’s room for a moment to call Mr. Antolini, an English teacher he had at Elkton Hills. Mr. Antolini is shocked that Holden has been kicked out of another school and invites Holden to stay the night at his house. Holden mentions to us that Mr. Antolini was the only teacher who approached James Castle’s body after his death, the only one who demonstrated any courage or kindness in the situation. Holden goes back into Phoebe’s room and asks her to dance. After a few numbers, they hear the front door open—their parents have come home from their dinner party. Holden tries to fan away his lingering cigarette smoke and jumps in the closet. His mother comes in to tuck Phoebe in, and he hides until she leaves. He then tells Phoebe goodbye, letting her know of his plan to leave New York and move out west alone. She loans him the Christmas money she’d been saving, and he leaves for Mr. Antolini’s. On the way out, he gives Phoebe his red hunting hat. ==== Olivia Kriwasch-period 8

** Chapter 23 Summary - Atlee Hasson ** Holden calls Mr. Antolini, who offers to have Holden come over to his house. Holden shows respect for Mr. Antolini because he was the only one to go near James Castle's dead body, and also was the one to pick him up and carry him to the infirmary. When Holden comes back to Phoebe's room, she turns on the radio and begins dancing with Holden. Holden enjoys dancing with Phoebe because she is very good, unlike most people who he believes look terrible when dancing with a little kid. After dancing, Holden notices how out of breath he is due to his constant smoking. Holden and Phoebe begin horsing around, until Phoebe hears their parents open the front door. Holden dashes to the closet, and their mother comes in Phoebe's room, demanding an answer for why Phoebe is still awake. Phoebe completely covers up the fact that Holden is home, allowing him to leave thehouse after their mother leaves, with some money from Phoebe.

Holden thinks he woke Antolini and his wife up, but when he tells his former teacher that he's been kicked out of his current school, Antolini invites him over. Holden tells us that Antolini was his favorite teacher, and that it was he who covered the boy, James Castle, who had killed himself with a coat and carried him to the infirmary.When Holden returns to D.B.'s room, Phoebe's got the radio on and they both dance on the bed for awhile before finally shutting it off. Then they hear their parents come in the front door, and Holden hides in the closet. When their mother comes in, she questions Phoebe briefly on the smell of cigarette smoke, and disapproves in the mildest terms when Phoebe claims she only had a puff of one. Once she's gone, Holden comes out and prepares to go. He asks his kid sister for money, and she loans him all her Christmas money. At this, Holden cries, scaring Phoebe. He eventually calms down, and before goes he insists that she have his hunting hat.

 * Mr. Antolini invites Holden to come over if he felt like it, despite the fact that Holden probably woke his wife and him up.
 * Holden describes Mr. Antolini as a nice young guy, and metaphorically relates him to the catcher in the rye. He was the man to eventually come and discover James Castle, take his pulse, cover him up with his coat, and take him to the infirmiry.
 * Holden walks back into D.B.’s room, where he finds Phoebe listening to music.
 * Holden asks Phoebe if she wants to dance, as he remembers teaching her when they were younger. He recalls her being a good dancer.
 * Phoebe ecstatically gets up to join him as Holden takes his shoes off.
 * Holden mentally rants about older people dancing with younger people in public, but says that it’s okay for Phoebe and him because they don’t do it in public, and she’s a good dancer.
 *  Holden and Phoebe danced for four songs, and they goof around while doing so.
 * Holden turns the radio off after the fourth song, and realizes he is out of breath due to all of his smoking, while realizing that Phoebe isn’t even beginning to get tired.
 * Holden and Phoebe agree that Phoebe has immensely improved with her dancing.
 * Phoebe gets Holden to feel her forehead and tells him that she can make her temperature go above the thermometer. Holden humors her to save her from an inferiority complex.
 * Phoebe states that Alice Holmborg showed her a trick on how to do so.
 * While they joke around about her forehead, Phoebe hears their parents come in through the front door.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Holden turns the light out, kills his cigarette, and fans the air as to avoid being noticed by their parents. He proceeds to hide in the closet.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Their mom comes in, as she saw Phoebe’s light on, and she begins to make conversation with Phoebe about her night out.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The mom questions Phoebe about the light, and Phoebe says that she couldn’t sleep.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Phoebe’s mom then questions her about the smell of cigarettes, asking her if she was smoking one. Phoebe retorts that she took one puff but then threw it out the window.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Phoebe continually tried to get rid of her mother, but her mom continues to ask about how her night went, including about dinner and the movie she went to see with Alice.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">When her mother finally leaves, she said that she had a splitting headache, so Phoebe advised her to take some aspirin.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Phoebe asks her mom if Holden will come home on Wednesday, and she said that he would, as far as she knew.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Holden runs into Phoebe while coming out of the closet in the dark room, and insists that he has to get out of the house as soon as possible, although Phoebe advises him otherwise due to the fact that their parents aren’t asleep yet.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Holden asks Phoebe to borrow some money, even though he feels bad taking her holiday money, but she says that she is fine lending him some.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Phoebe inquires about Holden missing her play, but he reassures her that he won’t go away before seeing her play.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Holden says that he will probably stay with Mr. Antolini until Tuesday night, and then might come home.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Phoebe gives Holden eight dollars and sixty-five cents, although Holden only asks for two dollars.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Holden breaks down and cries at the gesture, and he’s grateful for Phoebe.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">He forces Phoebe to accept his hunting hat, as he states that she likes those kinds of hats, and tells her that he’ll call if he gets the chance.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Holden says that it was easy to get back out of the house, as he no longer cared if his parents had caught him or not.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">He said he went extremely quietly and unnoticed, even by the elevator boy.

 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Holden goes home and stops in to see his sister
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">His sister doesn’t seem to happy to see him, most likely because he got kicked out of school again
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Holden’s sister tells him “Daddy’ll kill you” with which Holden replies “No, he won’t, The worst he’ll do, he’ll give me hell again, and then he’ll send me to that goddam military school. That’s all he’ll do to me. And in the first place, I won’t even be around. I’ll be away. I’ll be-I’ll Probably be in Colorado on this ranch.”
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">His sister then asks him why he got kicked out. He says that he hated the school and it was filled with phonies and mean guys
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Holden starts going on and on talking about Pencey, a place he doesn’t even like, just like he does whenever he talks about anything else he doesn’t like
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then there's something that shows us Holden isn’t very bright. He starts talking about veteran’s day at Pencey and says that people that graduated from pencey around 1776 come back to the school for veterans day. If America declared their independence in July of 1776 then how could Pencey have been created in that same year. Also, assuming Pencey was a school in 1776 (which it wasn’t), the graduates from that year would not still be alive.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Holden then brings up depression again and talks about how you could be any type of guy and still depress someone
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Phoebe tells Holden that he doesn’t anything and she asks him to name one thing he likes. Holden can’t think of anything but he makes excuses by saying he couldn’t concentrate
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Holden’s mind starts to wander until Phoebe interrupts his thought process. She tells again that he doesn’t love anything and Holden replys that he loves Allie and he loves talking with her (Phoebe). Phoebe says both of these don’t count because Allie is dead and a conversation isn’t “anything really”
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Holden then starts talking about different careers like being a scientist and a lawyer and says why he wouldn’t want to do that and then he says, in a way, that he’d like to be a catcher in the rye when he gets older
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Holden goes into his living room to call a teacher that he had when he went to school at Elkton Hills, Mr. Antolini
