This one, That one, and everyone else. Holden is quite a picky person and seems to think that the only one perfect is him. He constantly take notice of those who appear to be fake and un-real. He basically leaves school because he doesn't like the people. I would like to pose the idea that He is the problem. IT is quite true that there will always be someone around that you can't co inside. However, I do not think this holds true to everywhere you go. If this is the case, one can argue that the discoverer of all these "false" acts is the problem. In my opinion, these don't seem like things big enough to act on, let alone switch schools however, Holden sees fit to do so.
One can ask the question, " Is there an underline current to Holden's behavior"? It can be concluded that Holden seems to be a un-happy, more or less non content. The way he behaves could be an testament to his dis -gratification with himself instead of people. The characteristics he finds wrong with people may be the ones he wishes he had.
I would like you to respond with perspectives that agree and disagree with this view of holden

Donte, I had a great deal of trouble making sense of some parts of this commentary because of grammatical/mechanical issues. In spite of this, I think you've correctly pointed to Caulfield's character as a major cause behind the dissatisfactions with others that he continue expresses. I would say that you might have extended this post through a closer analysis of what these specific factors are that have influenced the development of the person that we come to know through Salinger's novel.
