Holden went to meet with Mr. Spencer who was Holden’s history teacher, they talked about Holden’s grade and future. Mr. Spencer gave some advice for Holden but inwardly Holden believed that it’s useless but outwardly Holden showed respect for Mr. Spencer.
Mr.Spencer sat on the chair
Then Holden said good-bye to Mr. Spencer and went back to the dorm. He was reading the book while Ackley came to Holden’s room. Holden described Ackley’s characters, Holden didn’t like Ackley because he had a bunch of shortcomings.
Pimpled Ackley
After Holden and Ackley discussed Holden’s roommate Stradlater, Stradlater came back to the dorm and started to shave his face. During this time, Holden also described the character of Stradlater, the “secret slob”. Then Holden’s emotions changed dramatically, the reason was he throughout the conversation with Stradlater he knew Stradlater’s girlfriend was Jane, who was Holden’s childhood friend. Before Stradlater went to date he asked Holden to help him wrote the composition, Holden agreed. 
Hansome Stradlater
After had a dinner in the school, Holden went to watch a movie with his classmates, besides, Holden called Ackley came together with them. When they came back Holden started to write a composition for Stradlater and Ackley just slept on Holden’s bed. During the writing, Holden described his younger brother Allie, a very smart and pure guy was died due to leukemia. He praised his younger brother a lot. When Stradlater came back to the dorm, Holden asked some question about the dating but Stradlater said it was a secret, which made Holden angry. Then Holden gave the finished composition to Stradlater but Stradlater was not satisfied with it. Holden was annoyed by Stradlater’s attitude and tore the composition off. The arguing was created between them, they were fighting and Holden lost it. 
Holden fought with Stradlater
After Stradlater left the dorm, Holden went to Ackley’s room and talked with him. Ackley was not asleep because of the fighting voice but he didn’t want to chat with Holden due to the time was too late. However, Ackley still talked about Holden for a little time. Finally, Holden packed his stuff and went out of the school.
Relate:
In real life, some people are very snob, they always scorn the person who has the worse life than them and always cringe the person who has the better life than them. I really bother that but I don't care it because it's waste my time. The life like a game, you only have one chance and there is no space to step backward. Every person has different thinking, the play follows the rule or breaks the rule, it's up to themselves. Personally, I always manage my time-table, so most of the time I don't feel bored. However, I am lazy in the holiday, I don't do anything except laying on the bed. 15% of the day I am bored. I always blame the life, people can not control their life 100%, something always makes them depressed or surprised. For me, 85% of the "accidents" make me depressed. Breaking up with my girlfriend is one of the most depressing things in my life. I never went completely crazy, though sometimes I get very angry, I always find the other way to release my emotions. In junior high, I jealous of my roommate, he is always better than me, he is richer than me, cleverer than me and kinder than me. However, it's a "good" jealousy, that gives me the power to make me work harder.
Reflect:
In chapter 2, Holden said the pills and medicine all over the Mr.Spencer's room, it reflected Holden's psychological world which was sickness and weakness. What's more, Holden was not willing to absorb others suggestions though Spencer’s actions clearly seem to be positive by concern for Holden’s well-being. Holden characterized Spencer’s behavior throughout as vindictive and mean-spirited like "dirty trick". this case hinted Holden didn't want to accept he was a loser so that he tried to find a reason not to listen to Spencer. Then he sculpted Ackley and Stradlater in the very depreciatory way, Holden only saw the shortcoming in them because he didn't want others knew he was not good than someone.The self-inferiority was revealed in this part. Holden talked his younger brother and praised him a lot, and when he died, Holden felt sorry that his family lost this smart guy, the feelings of loss and inadequacy appeared inside Holden. In chapter 6, Holden fought with Stradlater because Holden envied Stradlater dated with Jane, the other reason was Stradlater did not respect Holden's memories of Allie which Holden wrote about in the essay. In this case, Holden was not able to deal with his brother's death and he wanted to release the pain throughout the fighting but he lost. Meanwhile, what Holden did not yet realize, however, was that he carried his torment with him, inside himself. Finally, Holden packed his stuff and left the dormitory, if reflected Holden tried to escape from the school which was filled by phonies and untruthfulness.
Interesting question:
1. Why didn't Ackley care about his appearance?
Answer: Ackley might not think the appearance was meaningless or he just didn't know the importance of the appearance. After all, You can't judge a person by his appearance.
2.What is a meaning of the "dirty trick"?
Answer: Mr.Specer lectured Holden and gave him many useless suggestions when Holden was already depressed and discouraged from being expelled.
Prediction: Holden will go to Newyork and find the hotel, he will roam on the street, wait for the vacation.
