The catcher in the rye (chapter 5)

In this chapter Holden tells us what they have for dinner on saturday's night. They had steak and they do this in school because parents usually visit school on Sunday that way parents can have a good impression of the school. We can tell that Holden is right about this, this shows that he is a smart guy. After that Holden describes that his friend Brossard were planing to go and eat a hamburger and probably see a movie. They agreed to invite Ackley, which shows that Holden and his friend are not to mean because no one seem to care about Ackley. When they returned Holden started working on Stradlater's composition. Here is where we figure out that his brother Allie died. Personally this helped me understand probably why Holden has this weird attitude.
