This is the first psychiatric hospital admission for the patient, Holden Caulfield, a 17 year-old male, at Massachusetts General Hospital. The subject freely admitted himself to the care facility at 13:00 on November 28, 1958, with the company of his parents-whose consent was necessary given Holden's legal status as a minor. His induction will be taking place without any incident. Within the time of his arrival, Holden appeared to be quite exhausted and dilapidated. He was wearing woolen slacks and a warm jacket, yet appeared to be suffering from some sort of intense disturbance.

All of this is present in Night, by Elie Wiesel, an account of human tragedy, human cruelty, human dignity, and the loss thereof.…
