The story concerns Holden Caulfield, a smart but troubled kid who, after being expelled from his boarding school in December 1949, spends his time wandering [[Big Applesauce|New York City]], mourning for the loss of innocence in children, and failing to understand the people that surround him. Holden himself can come off as a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] as he [[Wangst|unkindly judges almost everyone]], but as the book explores his underlying psychological issues and reaches its [[Bittersweet Ending]], Holden's true nature becomes apparent.
