Your book is leading up to some crisis or turning point. What is it? If you have not yet reached it, can you predict what it will be?
Add 5 defined vocabulary to this post.i

I think the turning point of this book, The Catcher in the Rye, written by J.D.Salinger, is when the intense between Holden and Stradlater keeps increasing. When Stradlater comes back from date with Jane, he is pretty annoyed by English homework that Holden did which is not concerned with assignment. His reaction also makes him Holden who writes it for Stradlater. The tense is burst when Holden asks about the date with Jane, who is Holden's lover. Stradlater does not answer it and thus it drives Holden crazy. Holden severely insults Stradlater. Stradlater tries to calm his down but finally he punches on Holden's nose. He worries that it makes him into trouble and leaves the room. This event makes Holden to leave Pencey directly right away.
