Holden and Stradlater's fight...Who is Ackley?!
Holden and Sradlater get in a huge fight after he gets home from his date with "Jane" then after the fight Holden goes to the person that we would last expect Ackley? Holden says that Ackley is just darn right "Nasty" but he sneaks over and wakes him to ask if he can stay in his room for the nite to avoid Sradlater. i think he ran to Sradlater to get someone to talk to him about the fight, however that nite he just wanted to sleep. how about the irony the time someone needs Ackley he doesnt want anything to do with them.

I also found it pretty ironic that first, Ackley was annoying Holden, and then, after getting smacked in the face, Holden goes to bother Ackley! My first thought was, 'wow...what a hypocrite!' Then, however, I got to thinking about Holden and the people around him. He is clearly lost and I don't think he has anyone he feels connected to. The question that remains is...does Holden have trouble connecting to the people around him because they are phonies or is Holden the phony???
