The Catcher in the Rye - Chapter one

The book beings with "If you really want to hear about it" From this I got the feeling that we might get a lot of attitude from the narrator. You also get a lot of negative language used in the first chapter as "Holden" as he hates a lot of things like "movies" and "phonies".
When he mentions that he "grew six and a half inches" and "practically got t.b" and "came out here for all these goddamn checkups and stuff" we get the feeling that he is in some kind of hospital as everything he is telling us was in the past... This Chapter makes us wonder about what is going to happen in the book.
At the end of the chapter he goes into Mr Spencers' room and gets greeted by Mrs Spencer which leaves us thinking who Mr and Mr's Spencer are.
Look forward to reading the second chapter! :D :)
