"You ought to go to a boys' school sometime. Try it sometime."....."It's full of phoines and all you do is study so that you can learn enough to be smart enough to be able to buy a goddam Cadillac some day, and you have to keep making believe you give a damn of the football team loses, and all you do is talk about girls and liquor and sex all day, and everybody sticks together in these dirty little goddam cliques." -Holden (P.G. 131).
1. It says that Holden is sick of people act like what they arnt, and he doesnt like how money is the most importent thing to people. He doesnt want to be like other people...he doesnt want to be what others want him to be, he wants to be himself (even thought he is not sure what that is yet) but he knows its not going to a boys school and buying a Cadillac. He doesnt want to show off just to get a girlfriend or a friend, he wants someone that will respect him for who he is.
2.ALL teens are phoines in a way (yes even Holden). We all want to be something we arnt and we act like we know everything. We judge someone because they have less money or because they dont hang out with us. We thing of our selfs first then others around us. We also to act like what others wants us to act like or to be. We dont think before we talk or do something and we sure dont care after we hurt someones feels. This is stuff MOST of us grow out of as we become more adult like, but for some it stay that way forever.
3.It matters because Holden is always talking about people being phoines but I thing that in this passage we really see why he thinks that of people, and to me it showed a different side of him. Before I thought he just juged everyone but now I understand that he isnt really doing that, all he is doing is trying to not be like them, so to do that we tells himself(and us) all the bad thing about does people. He does it to protect himself for becoming something he isnt or wants to be.
