Banana's Thoughts on Chapters 5 & 6

First, we will talk about story of The Catcher in the Rye. In chapter 5, Holden went to Agerstown with Mal Brossard and Ackley by bus because they planned to watch movie, but they didn’t so they just ate hamburgers. After they ate hamburgers and went to back to the dormitory. He wrote an essay that Stradlater asked to him. Stradlater wants to describe room or house on essay, but he wrote about Allie’s glove, which Allie wrote poems on before he died. Allie, Holden's younger brother, died 1946, because of leukemia. So Holden crushed the glass in the garage with his right hand, since he got sense of loss and was in pain because of his brother’s death and is why he sometimes can’t move his right hand well.
In chapter 6, Stradlater was angry because Holden wrote an essay about Allie’s glove not about describe room or house, so Holden tore essay to pieces that he wrote about Allie’s glove. Holden got angry so he smoked, because Stradlater doesn’t like smoke in the room because he hates broke rules. Finally, Holden attacked by Stradlater.
Next, we will talk about main character Holden’s personality. Holden family is wealthy family in New York, but he always looks the world in negative way, and talks like self-righteous and fidget. However, he has hidden painful fact about his dead younger brother Allie.

Finally, we will make some quizzes. For homework, commentators do the following:

  1. Why Holden’s tries to punch Stradlater?
  2. Why Holden and Mal Brossard decide to go to Agerstown?
  3. What does Holden think about Allie?

  2. 1) Holden thinks Stradlater is a tricky guy such as perverse man and he think Mr.S did bathing to Jane. However, Sradlater didn't tell about date. So, he punched to Mr.S.

    2) In Saturday night, he didn't have any date or works. So he want to go with Mal Brossard to go downtown(Agerstown). Because, they don't want to spend all night in their dorm.

    3) He don't want to describe as Stradlater wrote. Such as room or houses anyway. So he want to wrote about his brother Allie's baseball mitt.

    1. Holden already knows that Stradlater’s behavior is bad, so Holden curious about their date, but Stradlater doesn’t talk about it. Then, Holden thinks that Stradlater does a bad action with conviction. We think that because Holden expresses his anger, Holden tries to punch Stradlater.

    2. They don’t have any purpose, but they don’t want to spend time in dormitory.

    3. Holden thinks that Allie is very kind and very smart guy in their family. Holden carefully keeps Allie’s glove in his bag. It means that Holden always thinks his dead brother, Allie.
