what does it mean to be a phony according to holden

1. What does it mean to be phony, according to Holden? Is Holden himself guilty of being a phony? Explain.

According to holden a phony is anyone who may not always act themself. This could be anything to dressing up or pretending to be interested insomthing your not. A good example would be when he goes out the date with jane, he refers to her as phony alot because she acts very mature around the theater kids, and he finds it phony the wya they disccus the play. Holden himself is very guilty of being a phony. He always pretends to be something hes not and i believe he enjoys it very much. I also believe the only reason he calls others out on being a phony is because he sees himself in others and doesnt approve of it.
