Quote:
"A tiny bit of light came through the shower curtains and all from our room, and I could see him lying in bed. I knew damn well he was awake. 'Ackley?' I said. ' Y'awake?'"

Holden may always seem like he is putting Ackley down because of how "stupid" he is, but, when he's in trouble he always goes to Ackley. I think that Ackley is one of his only true friends at school. Well maybe not his true friends, but a close one he depends on always depends on to be there. The problem is that Holden has to leave school sometime, and when he leaves Ackley will be staying at school. He should try to treasure and not take his time with Ackley for granted, because that is when things go wrong and you realize too late that you made a mistake by taking it for granted.
