Chapter 5

Holden and his friend Mal Brossard, who is a wrestler at Pencey decided that they would go to Agerstown to get some hamburgers and see a movie. Holden decided to ask Ackley to come along too since he didn't go out ever. they ended up just eating a couple of hamburgers and playing a few games on the pinball machine. since he got back fairly early he decided to write the paper for Stradlater. he wrote about his brother Allie's baseball glove, because he couldn't think of a room to write about and didn't like the idea of it so he described it, how it had poems all over it written in green ink. just in case he got bored when no one was up to bat he had something to read. Allie is dead now he was 2 years younger than Holden and he died of lukiemia on July 18, 1946, the night he died Holden stayed in the garage and punched out all of the windows, his parents wanted to send him to get help that it was so bad, he even broke his hand.

Response-
I wonder if Stradlater will be mad since he didn't write about what he was suppose to.
