The story that is present in this book, American Writers, is the initial part of the novel “The Catcher in the rye” The story speaks about Holden Caulfied, a teenager student who attends the Pencey Institute in Pennsylvania, USA.
At the beginning of the story Holden is on the top of Thomsen Hill because he went here to see the rugby match between Saxon Hall and Pencey.

When Holden arrived at Mr Spencer’s house, Mr Spencer was sick but Holden speaks about his terrible school situation to him.
My Opinion:
“The Catcher in the rye” for me is the best story that I never read. Because, for me, the author was very clever to understand what the reader wants to know. The story, is very easy to understand and it is easy to imagine, so when I read the story I imagine being Holden. In the end, I understand what Holden does because his adventures reports our life of adolescents.
