Salinger, is the story of Holden Caulfield after being expelled from Pencey Prep, and his 2-3 day journey through New York City before he goes home for Christmas Break. Throughout the novel, Holden mentions how he does not like phonies, and people lying, which becomes a major theme/symbol throughout the story. He is very hypocritical in that way because he himself lies constantly, and even admits that he "is the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life" (page 16). Lying gets him through certain situations, though maybe not so smoothly, and helps tell his journey to the mental institution. ]]> 2017-04-05 13:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hheffn2560/4s8seh4d8d4u/wish/164861826 hheffn2560 https://padlet.com/hheffn2560/4s8seh4d8d4u/wish/164891899 --> "I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It's awful. If I'm on my way to the store to buy a magazine, even, and somebody asks me where I'm going, I'm liable to to say I'm going to the opera" (page 16).
--> "Old Marty was like dragging the Statue of Liberty around the floor. The only way I could even half enjoy myself dragging her around was if I amused myself a little. So I told her I just saw Gary Cooper, the movie star, on the other side of the floor...'Oh shoot!' she said. I'd just about broken her heart - I really had. I was sorry as hell I'd kidded her. Some people you shouldn't kid, even if they deserve it. Here's what was very funny, though. When we got back to the table, old Marty told the other two that Gary Cooper had just gone out. Boy, old Laverne and Bernice nearly committed suicide when they heard that. They got all excited and asked Marty if she'd seen him and all. Old Mart said she'd only caught a glimpse of him. That killed me" (page 74). 
--> "...Her son was doubtless the biggest bastard that ever went to Pencey, in the whole crumby history of the school. He was always going down the corridor, after he'd shower, snapping his soggy old wet towel at people's asses...'May I ask your name, dear?' 'Rudolf Schmidt,' I told her. I didn't feel like giving her my whole life history. Rudolf Schmidt was the name of the janitor of our dorm...'Well. He's a very sensitive boy. He's never been a terribly good mixer with other boys. Perhaps he takes things a little more seriously than he should at his age.' Sensitive. That killed me. That guy Morrow was about as sensitive as a goddamn toilet seat...'No, everybody's fine at home,' I said. 'It's me. I have to have this operation'" (page 54-58).

He lies to himself and others, not only making him hypocritical but denying the truth that he is facing. He says that he doesn't like phonies, and people who are superficial and fake, but when in certain situations, he lies because he "didn't feel like telling my entire life history", or not wanting people to know who he truly was. He lies about his age, name, where he is going, what he is doing. It can also teach the reader to not really take into consideration everything he is saying because he could possibly be lying to the audience of the book as well. As he is lying to other characters in the novel, he is also lying to himself and trying to convince himself of his age and growing up, which could possibly be the reason Salinger included lying throughout the novel. Another major theme throughout the novel, growing up and adulthood can correspond to lying because he lies about his age to get alcoholic drinks in the bars and to women, to make him seem older, although in reality he is afraid of growing up. Some of the lies he tells can not be so believable, therefore making him seem somewhat insane to other characters. His lying doesn't really affect many other characters throughout the novel because they don't seem too concerned with actually talking to him, but they affect more himself than anyone. ]]> 2017-04-05 15:01:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hheffn2560/4s8seh4d8d4u/wish/164902988 hheffn2560 https://padlet.com/hheffn2560/4s8seh4d8d4u/wish/165129044 2017-04-06 13:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hheffn2560/4s8seh4d8d4u/wish/165129044 hheffn2560 https://padlet.com/hheffn2560/4s8seh4d8d4u/wish/165129741 You Know I'm No Good - Amy Whinehouse

Holden's Parents - In the novel, he doesn't necessarily talk to them personally but he is lying to them because he has yet to tell them that he has failed out of another school and they think he is still at Pencey until Wednesday. 
The Girls at the Lavender Room - He lies multiple times at the Lavender Room, such as about his age to the waiter and to the 3 girls when they ask how old he is, and also lies about seeing Gary Cooper in the bar just to get a laugh out of the girls reaction.
Sunny - The prostitute that Holden pays for in the hotel he's staying in but makes up a lie about still recovering from an operation on his "clavichord".
Lillian Simmons - D.B.'s old friend that Holden runs into at one of the bars he was at and lied to to get out of not staying and talking to her and her friend.
