Chapter 1: How does the narrator feel?
The narrator feels confused, disgusted at the school´s system, and very tired of everything. Evidence of this can be seen throughout the chapter in how he´s always complaining about somehing of the school or how ¨the headmaster is phony¨. He´s also out of energy because of the pain that is getting expelled from schools all the time. He acts in a very laid back manner, trying to show he doesn´t care, but thats typical of teenage boys when they actually do care.
Chapter 2: What does the conversation bewteen Holden and Mr. Spencer symbolise?
The conversation they have is basically Mr. Spencer lecturing Holden, and its very important because Mr. Spencer is like every other single adult or authority in the book. In which he shows him as disgusting and never understands what the kid actuall feels, and it shows us his response to the way Mr. Spencer acts, by responding in a very laid back way not actually caring what the teacher says. He says he just gives him the ¨old bull¨ which is basically giving him the same excuse he uses every time.
