The problem that I will talk about Holden Caulfield is he shows no interest in school or academics. Holden Caulfield didn’t go to school regularly and he always skipped school. He was never focused on his academic studies so he never did his homework or tried to work hard for his grades nor academics. From chapter 1, page 4, line 3-6, it wrote that, ’’They kicked me out. I wasn’t supposed to come back after Christmas vacation on account of I was flunking four subjects and not applying myself and all.” As well as from chapter 2, page 10, line 17-20, the conversation with Holden’s history teacher, Mr. Spencer, it wrote that, “”How many subjects did you carry this term?” asked by Mr. Spencer. “Five, sir.” Holden answered. “Five. And how many are you failing in?” “Four.”” From these we can see that Holden’s academic result is very bad as he has failed 4 subjects, and only passed English as he has studied all the stuff when he was at his previous school. We can also see that he shows no interest in school or academics as he is not applying to himself at all, he thinks that failing 4 subjects out of 5 has no problem at all as in the conversation he didn’t feel embarrassed for such poor result. Moreover, Holden has been kicked out of four schools, but there are only three mentioned in the book which are Whooton School, Elkton Hills and Pencey Prep. We know this information in chapter 2, page 9, line 8-9, as Holden said, “This is about the fourth school I’ve gone to.” From this we can surely confirm that Holden’s academic performance is poor as he has been to four different schools because he has been kicked out of these 4 schools. The first recommendations for Holden’s academic problem is to have a private tutor. This is because as we can see above, Holden’s academic results are terribly poor as he is failing 4 subjects out of 5 and he has been kicked out of 4 schools. With a private tutor, Ho
