The hotel elevator operator is wondering if he wants a girl – five dollars for a time, fifteen at night. This girl causes in him such dislike that he quickly leaves the bar and goes on foot to the hotel. At the bar he meets a familiar DB with some sailor. On the way, he asks a question about the ducks to the next taxi driver, again without getting an intelligible answer. He goes to a night bar in Greenwich Village, where his elder brother DB was fond of, a talented writer tempted by the big screenwriter’s fees in Hollywood. He tries to have fun in the nightclub at the hotel, but nothing good comes of it, and the waiter refuses to give him alcohol as a minor. With people it’s hard for him, without them it’s unbearable. This world and oppresses it, and attracts. But he does not think to scoff, however, the question about ducks, rather, the manifestation of the confusion of Holden Colfield before the complexity of the surrounding world, rather than interest in zoology. The taxi driver, of course, is surprised by the question and is wondering whether the passenger is laughing at him. On the way, he asks his favorite question, which does not give him rest: “Where do the ducks go in the Central Park when the pond freezes?” Once in New York, he realizes that he can not go home and tell his parents that he was expelled. The matter ends with the brawl and the smashed nose of Caulfield. Stradlater, after reading the text, takes offense at the deviant author, stating that he had poured him a pig, but Caulfield, upset that Stradlater was going on a date with a girl who liked himself, does not remain in debt. Stradlater asks for him to write for him a composition – to describe a house or room, but Caulfield, who loves to do everything in his own way, tells about his baseball glove to his late brother Allie, who wrote it down in verse and read them during matches. He returns to Pensi from New York, where he went as captain of the fencing team for a match that did not take place due to his fault – he forgot to wear sports equipment in the subway car.
The last day in school is full of conflicts.
