Chapter 7

Holden goes into Ackleys room and talks to him for awhile. He asks Ackley if he can sleep in his roommates bed, because he is gone for the weekend. Ackley says he does not think its a good idea, and then Holden calls him a prince. He tries to fall asleep in Ackleys room, but he cant stop thinking about Jane and what Stradlater might have done with her. Holden wakes up Ackley to ask him if you have to be Catholic to join a monastery. Ackley is very angry at Holden for waking him up to ask such a stupid question. Holden decides to leave because he is getting sick of Ackleys phoniness. Holden decides to leave and go to New York that night and stay in a hotel for awhile until his parents get the news that he was expelled. He packs up all his stuff and before he leaves he yells very loudly "sleep tight ya morons." He says he bets that he woke up everyone on that floor.

Holden is always asking a lot of weird questions that no one would ask. He also criticises everyone he meets or even just sees. He seems to think that he is the only normal one and everyone else is a fake or phony.
