The Catcher In The Rye - Chapter 5

Holden, Brossard, and Ackley go to see a movie and go out to eat since none of them had dates or anything to do. They end up skipping the movie and playing pinball instead. When they back home, Holden makes Ackley leave so he can write a paper for Stradlater. He tries to think of something descriptive to write about and comes up with his dead brother's baseball glove. His brother was extremely smart and wrote poems all over the glove so he could read them when he got bored on the field. When he was done writing the paper, he looked out the window and listened to Ackley snore, and felt sorry for him.
