I was so worried whilst Stradlater was out with Jane. He did get back eventually and didn’t even say one word about Jane. I told him his composition was on his bed and he started reading it. He got all crazy with me while he was reading it because it was about Allie’s glove and not a room or a house, even though he only told me it had to be descriptive. He told me I don’t do one thing the way I am supposed to.
I lost it with him so I went over to him and ripped it all up. I went and sat back down on my bed and asked him about Jane. I asked him where did he go with her and he didn’t answer, instead he came over to me being all playful giving me these socks on my shoulder. He then said that all they did was sit in Ed Bankey’s car.
I got so nervous when he said that, I asked him if he gave her the time in Ed’s car. He told me it was a professional secret. I got up went over and socked him in the mouth. He threw me on the floor and put his knees on me. I kept calling him a moron and saying childish things. He let me up and I must of called him a moron too many because he gave me this almighty sock in the mouth.
I wasn’t knocked out but I just lay on the floor for a while. Stradlater left and I got up and went into Ackley’s room. I hardly ever went in to Ackley’s room it had this funny stink in it.

My 'Goddam Life' - Allie's Mit
Saturday was supposed to big a big deal because they gave you steak. It was only because ever one's parents came on Sunday and Old Thurmer bet that they would asked what the had to eat. I didn't have out to do so Mal Brossard, me and Ackely got on a bus and went to Agerstown to watch a lousy movie. Anyway i was ready but it look Ackley like 5 hours to get ready so I went over to the window and packed a snowball. I has going to chuck it a a car across the street but I changed my mind.
Finally he was ready and we went to get the bus. When I has getting on the driver told me I couldn't bring my snowball on even though I told him I wasn't going to throw it at anyone, he didn't believe me though, people never believe you. In the end we didn't seen the movie we just had a hamburger and went on a pinball machine, i didn't care though.
We then went back to Pency at about quarter to nine and it took me ages to get rid of Ackely, eventually I did though and i started Stradlaters composition. I couldn't think of anything to do it on so i got my little brother, Allie's baseball mit out of my suitcase. It had all poems written on it in green ink, it was a very descriptive subject. I took it everywhere with me. You see hes dead now, he died of leukemia up in Maine on July the 18th, 1946.
He was great. He was two years younger than me and fifty times more intelligent. He was also the nicest boy you could ever have met for many reasons. People say someone with red hair get mad easily, but Allie never did and he had very red hair. I slept in the garage the night he died, I broke all the goddam windows with my fist just for the hell of it. I busted my hand up though.
That's what I wrote the composition about anyway. It took me ages though, Stradlater's typewriter kept jamming on me and i lent mine to someone down the hall. I could also hear Ackley snoring though the shower curtains. He had sinus problems. He had everything wrong with him that guy, you had to feel sorry for him.

My 'Goddam' LIfe - Stradlaters Date
I had nothing to do that evening so i stood there while Stradlater Shaved himself with his crumby razor, you should of seen it, all full of hairs, he never cleaned it. If you think about it Stradlater is a secret slob, unlike Ackley, because he looks alright but like for other things like the razor he used if you know what i mean. The reason why he was always fixing himself up because he was in love with himself, he thought he was the handsomest guy on the Western Hemisphere, and he was pretty handsome, ill admit it.
Anyway Stradlater was going out on a date and didn't have time to do his composition so he asked me to do it. He told me it was to describe something like a room or a house. I started horsing around after a while because I got bored and i kept taking my hunting hat of and looking at it. I told Stradlater it only cost me a buck. I asked him who he date was and he replied Jean Gallagher.
I nearly dropped dead when he said that, i realised he meant Jane Gallagher though, I practically lived next door to her the summer before last. I told him we used to play checkers all the time and she never moved her kings of the back row. That doesn't interest most people though. I started going crazy thinking about her.
Stradlater is a very sexy bastard and i started getting all nervous thinking about what he might do to Jane. Eventually he left though with my hounds tooth jacket and Ackley came back thought the shower curtains. For once i was happy to see him, take my mind of other things.

My 'Goddam' Life- Ackley kid
I'm a terrific liar, its awful. I lie all the goddam time. In Pency i lived in the Ossenburger Memorial Wing. My roomate was a senior, Stradlater has his name. Anyway it was named after this big hot shot phony guy who gave a load of money to Pency. When I got back to the room while everyone was still at the game and the heating was on it was sort of cosy for a change. I then sat down and put on my red hunting hat that I bought in New York and started reading the book 'Out of Africa.' My favourite author is D.B.
While i was reading I heard someone come though the shower curtains. It was Robert Ackley, a very peculiar guy. He had lousy teeth, the whole time i have been there i never saw him brush them. He had a lot of pimples too. He hated Stradlater's guts. He went round picking up all our personal stuff while he was in our room. He was really annoying me so i started horsing around, saying 'Mother darling, give me your hand its all going dark.' it annoyed him.
Stradlater then barged in and asked me if he could borrow my hounds tooth jacket. I said ok but he had to no stretch the shoulders, we were near enough the same height, but he had wider shoulders than me and weighed about twice as much. He went to have a shave and walked round with no top on, he thought he had a dead good build, and he did ill have to admit.
