Holden, You Would Hate...

Hey Holden!
So I know you don't exactly know me, but I know you pretty well. I've heard all about your story of your trip to New York. Don't worry I'm not some creeper. See, I had to read your book for English class. I've kept you on my mind a lot after reading your story. Again, don't worry, I am NOT a creeper. So, I have decided that you would absolutely, without a doubt, hate the Montclair Kimberley Academy. First of all, you would consider it the epitome of phoniness. No joke. You would despise this place. If the Pency School advertisement bothered you, I can't even imagine how much you would be bothered by multiple things at MKA (Montclair Kimberley Academy). First of all, MKA has a pretty good reputation for being phony. Also, i've heard what you think of Ackley. If you hate people who are unhygienic, you would not enjoy being around the many of the people at MKA. For instance, the freshman boys had to have a meeting on how to be clean. You might also have a problem with people's expectations. You do not seam to like when teachers push you to do well in class. You also don't seam to care about your school-work, a requirement at MKA. I have a feeling you would have a problem with everyone's constant complaining. The students tend to complain frequently about the work- load. Knowing you, you would probably get annoyed with this. You might even want to tell them to stop complaining, that it doesn't really matter, or that if they don't want to do it, they shouldn't. I could definitely see you saying that. I also think you would hate the Montclair Kimberley Academy, because they expect their students to act very maturely. I can tell you are refusing to grow up and I think that would cause you many problems at MKA. I can also see you having a problem with the work load at MKA. You don't seam to manage stress well and you clearly do not have a strong support system to guide you. I think you would emotionally collapse under a lot of stress from work. You might not like the diverse atmosphere MKA offers because you tend to judge people. You seam to be a very judgmental person and do not like to connect with others. Because everyone at MKA is so different from each other, you might have a problem making friends. Because you said you find teachers phony because they have multiple personalities, one in class and one outside of class, you might have trouble connecting with the MKA faculty. Overall, I think you would absolutely hate MKA, something from my life in the real world. So, if you ever get out of the book. Come visit me. I would love to get to meet you. You sound like such a fascinating person.

Always,
Alexa
