What is the relationship between Holden and Ackley? What does Ackley think of Holden?I need information of how Holden thinks of Ackley and vise versa.

Ackley and Holden have an interesting relationship, and we
get more information of course on how Holden feels about Ackley than the other way
around.  Holden finds him physically disgusting, always discussing his pimples or his
smell and bad breath.  So while he makes this physical distaste very clear, it is also
clear that Holden feels somehow connected to Ackley and would prefer being around him to
being by himself.


At the same time, Ackley appears to
really like Holden and enjoy being around him as he invites him to do various things
with him.  But again, our picture of Ackley's feelings towards Holden is a little less
clear.
