Chapter 14
Holden is unable to pray in bed as he keeps picturing Sunny calling him names. He smokes several cigarettes instead. Someone knocks at his door and he knows it is Maurice, demanding more money. When Holden refuses, Sunny takes money from his wallet. Maurice then punches Holden in the stomach, leaving him on the floor crying in pain. Holden has violent fantasies of revenge against Maurice before taking a bath to calm down and try to sleep.
Chapter 13
Holden walks back to his hotel in the cold after losing his gloves. In the elevator, the operator offers Holden the services of a prostitute. Holden agrees for $15 until noon. When the prostitute, Sunny, arrives, Holden is extremely uncomfortable as a virgin. He makes up an excuse about having surgery on his "clavichord" to avoid intimacy. Sunny tries to seduce him, but Holden can't handle it, pays her $5, and asks her to leave.
Chapter 12
In Chapter 12 of The Catcher in the Rye, Holden rides in a taxi and tries to engage the driver in conversation about where ducks go in the winter, but the driver gets annoyed. At the bar, Ernie plays the piano to an enthusiastic crowd that Holden thinks is reacting excessively. A girl named Lillian recognizes Holden and asks him to join her and a sailor, but Holden lies and says he has to leave.
Chapter 11
Holden leaves the club and thinks about Jane and his concern over what may have happened between her and Stradlater. He reminisces on how he met Jane and came to like her. He recalls a specific time when they almost kissed but Jane was crying and wouldn't let him kiss her mouth, though he kissed her face. Feeling depressed, Holden leaves the club to go to a nightclub in Greenwich Village called Ernie's, where a talented piano player named Ernie performs.
Chapter 10
Holden Caulfield goes to the hotel bar, the Lavender Room, feeling unable to sleep. He is seated at a bad table in the back. He notices three women at the next table and asks the blonde one to dance, which she accepts. Though a good dancer, she and her friends are "morons." Holden introduces himself as "Jim Steele" and tries talking to them, finding them unintelligent. He dances with each woman, finding one a bad dancer. When the bar closes, Holden buys them each two drinks before they leave to see a morning movie, costing him around $13 without them offering to pay for their earlier drinks.
Chapter 9
Holden arrives at Penn Station in New York but does not call anyone. He takes a taxi but accidentally gives his home address instead of the hotel. When he realizes his mistake, the driver refuses to turn around. Holden asks the driver about where the ducks in Central Park go when the lake freezes, knowing it is unlikely he will know. The driver thinks Holden is trying to trick him. Holden has the driver take him to the cheap and sleazy Edmont Hotel instead.
Chapter 8
Holden takes a train to Trenton after missing the last taxi. On the train, he talks to a woman who recognizes his suitcase from Pencey Prep. She is Ernest Morrow's mother. Ernest was a bully who Holden disliked. Holden lies to her, claiming his name is Rudolf Schmidt and that he has to leave school early for a brain tumor operation. He keeps up the lie even as she expresses concern. They stop talking when Holden reads a timetable. She invites him to visit but he has no intention of seeing Ernest.
Chapter 7
Holden feels isolated and alone after getting in a fight with Stradlater. He goes to Ackley's room to spend the night but Ackley keeps pestering him about the fight. Feeling lonely and depressed, Holden decides to leave Pencey Prep immediately and go to New York without telling anyone. He plans to get a cheap hotel room in the city and rest up until Wednesday when the school would notify his parents that he's been expelled. Holden wants to avoid being home when his mother first finds out because she gets very hysterical about bad news.
Chapter 6
Stradlater returns in a bad mood after his date and criticizes Holden's essay about his brother Allie's baseball mitt. When Stradlater says the essay should have been about a room instead, Holden rips it up. Holden questions Stradlater about his date and suspects something went wrong. This leads to a fight where Holden tries to punch Stradlater but misses. Stradlater overpowers Holden and punches him, leaving his nose bleeding.
Chapter 5
Holden and his friend Mal Brossard go to a movie in Agerstown after dinner at their boarding school. They invite another student, Ackley, to join them. After the movie, they return to the dorm where Ackley stays in Holden's room, talking and picking at his pimples. Holden is unable to get Ackley to leave. Later, Holden writes a composition for his roommate Stradlater about his deceased brother Allie's baseball glove that had poems written on it. Ackley continues snoring loudly through the night with his various health issues.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptx
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
