The Catcher in the Rye is about a man named Holden Caulfield, who is narrating the
             story. Holden is in a psychiatric hospital in California, where at the given moment he was
             spending his time. He then had a flashback of when he was a young man at the age of
             sixteen. The story starts off at Pencey Prep, Holden's present school at which he was
