Catcher in the Rye (10 easy pts!)?

the Holden's journey from Pencey Prep to New York City takes him from Pennsylvania (sounds like where Pencey is) to the world at large which is largely a version of hell, with a few oases of paradise within--the carousel, the museum. The shrillness and the objectionableness of the people he meets later extend that of previous scenes. Stradlater is repeated by the fellow he meets in the bar who is neurotic and ; Mr. Spencer is a milder form of Mr. Antolini who is more predatory and perhaps also ual. The result of this intensification is that Holden Caulfield goes crazy as his inability to compromise and adjust becomes more evident.
