Ever since my conversation with Horwitz, I have still been thinking of the ducks in the lagoon. It seems like no one really knows much about them or has any interested in them, so I decided to look it up myself. I found this website
http://www.centralparknyc.org/about/news/central-park-news/where-do-the-ducks-go.html which finally gave me an answer. I found it interesting that some ducks leave while others stay; I think the ducks that don't feel comfortable with where there are at, leave. It's not that odd, I mean goddam that's exactly what I did with Pencey and everybody. I just wish that I can go all the way down south because everything that happened with Sunny and Maurice is making me want to leave New York now too. I wonder why not all the ducks go south, I mean why wouldn't they want to go to a warmer and more comfortable place? Whatever their motivation for facing the challenges that winter brings is, I want to know it, so that maybe I can use it to go back to Pencey and face everyone again. Maybe one day I'll be more like the ducks that stay during the winter, and be able to confront my problems instead of running away from them.
