Holden and his friend, Mal Brossard, decide to go to a movie. Holden convinced Brossard to let Ackley come along with them because he doesnt do anything on Saturday nights. Holden says he isnt a big fan of movies so he isnt upset when they decide to skip the movie because Brossard and Ackley had already seen it. Instead, they have a burger, play a little pinball and go back to Pencey. When they got back to Holden's room Ackley is laying on Holden's bed, popping zits and teling stories of a girl he supposedly had sex with. Holden has heard this story before and each time Ackley tells it, he changes it. After a while, Ackley leaves because Holden has to work on Stradlater's paper. Stradlater said to write about a something descriptive like a house or a room, but Holden writes about a baseball glove. The glove was Allie's. Allie died of leukemia. Holden is really bothered by the loss of his brother. When he finished the paper, he stared out the window.
Holden must have been really close to his brother. He might be feeling guilty about something. I still dont understand why he would write a paper for someone else.
