This is a more personal entry, but I'm gonna do it anyway. During the first chapters, Holden describes his interactions with particular pair of students, which are Stradlater and Ackley, his roommate and his next door neighbor in his dorm respectively. He describes Ackley as an unbearable man, because time to time tends to enter in his room to touch everything that's on it; also because he doesn't care about his oral health as Holden said. Besides, he doesn't take Holden's hints that he should leave the room; he doesn't listen when Holden tells him to stop doing something, like the time Ackley was cutting his nails and dropped them on the floor. Despite Holden's description, the book allow the readers know that Holden know that Ackley does what he does because he's unpopular and insecure. But the protagonist just pay attention to the book's, metaphorically speaking. I'm self conscious that I chose a rock and roll song that has positives vibes, but I think the message is what should remain; we can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
