    Through evaluation of the character Holden Caulfield, I have found him to be a young man with his own strict, though unique, code of honor who cares, in his own way, about the people around him. Throughout the novel, Holden seems to hold himself firmly to his distinct sense of what is right. One way this is evidenced is in his hatred of ‘phonies’.

    The world is full of phonies. This is one of the views that I have in common with Holden Caulfield. To best describe phonies I would say they are shallow, superficial people who choose to embrace life's mundane demands and all march to the same beat.
