Holden Criticizing Everything

Holden is critical of many things and often expresses his feelings with the word, "phony". One of the things he is critical of is Hollywood and the movies because he says his brother, D.B. is "out in Hollywood, being a prostitute." Some other examples are his schools, partciularly his headmasters, people like Ackley, who never stop asking annoying questions, and people like Stradlater, who are completley obsessed with themselves. Holden criticizes many things in life and has a hard time seeing the positive side of things and people.
