Everything I know about Holden from Catcher in the Rye

Holden Caulfield is a typical teenager, he has the same problems but even though he is a very common teen, in the other way he isn´t. Holden doesn’t like studying at all, he’s only interested in the classes he likes, for example english he enjoys that subject, it’s the only one he actually did not fail. Holden had 6 courses and failed 5 of them, this failed classes got him to get expelled out of his boarding school Pencey. He pretends to be an adult all the time, he really wants to be one, going to clubs and drinking, going out with lots of girls and smoking too but he’s still underage. He has alot of phony qualities, he is really irritated by hypocracy and how people talk and act, mostly their appearances. Through out the whole book he considers himself really dumb, he did get kicked out of Pencey but in the whole book he is really smart, he thinks about everything differently and is always trying to get the different things in the world, looking at things in a different perspective. I concluded that Holden isn’t dumb at all, he is just very very lazy, he doesn’t like doing things he doesn’t want to, he hates following rules but after everything, he’s a nice person who cares about alot of things even if they’re little.
