Holden goes to talk to Spencer. Spencer asks what Dr. Turmer had to say last time Holden went to see him. Spencer talks about Holden's parents. He calls them grand people. Holden notes that he hates the word grand because its a phony word. Holder also hates it when people repeat themselves after the person has already agreed or admitted to their point. Spencer starts asking if Holden really cares about his education. He says Holden knows absolutely nothing about history. Spencer starts reading Holden's essay aloud. The "essay" was about two paragraphs long with a note to Spencer saying it was ok if he flunked him. Spencer was trying to knock some sense into Holden but Holden didnt want to hear that speech and decided he should leave because he had to pick up equiptment in the gym.
Spencer is trying to help Holden but Holden wont stay long enough to listen. He doesnt want to hear the whole "education is important and you should try to straighten up" speech. Why doesnt Holden listen to what people are trying to tell him?
