Question

in catcher in the rye what are two parallel things that holden does in chapter 2 that mimic Old Spencer

Answer 1

Holden mimics Old Spencer's mania for nodding his head when listening to someone and mimics the relaxed communication Old Spencer talks to him with.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• Old Spencer is Holden's teacher.
• Holden likes him but is very angry with everything around him and therefore acts disrespectful and reckless towards everyone.
• When Old Spencer tries to talk to Holden about the low grades he is having in history, Holdem starts imitating him.

Holden imitates the relaxed tone that Old Spencer speaks, in addition to imitating Spencer's mania for shaking his head when someone is talking.
