in support of Caulfield's recognition of "phonies" occurs when Holden is at a night club. The club's piano player is adding difficult patterns to his music. Holden can sense that the piano player has played for so long that the player does not even know when he plays well. When the piano player concluded his presentation he gave a "very phony, humble bow. Like as if he was a helluva humble guy, besides being a terrific piano player. It was very phony-I mean him being such a snob and all" (84). Next, the classic confirms Sandock's perspective that Holden feels he is being suffocated by "phonies." Support for this observation occurs when Holden is on a date with Sally. During his date, a guy tries to steal Sally. "His name was George something-I don't even remember-and he went to Andover....He was the kind of a phony that have to give themselves room when they answer somebody's question....The worst part was, the jerk had one of those very phony, Ivy League voices, one of those very tired, snobby voices. He sounded just like a girl. He didn't hesitate to horn in on my date, the bastard" (127-128). Plethoric support of Holden's suffocation by phonies is demonstrated when he tells Phoebe the reason he hates Pencey Prep. The rationalism that Holden gives is that there were so many phonies to live with during the school year it had been the worst school he had ever attended. The "phonies" included both students and teachers (167-168). Finally, The Catcher In The Rye supports Lundquist's perspective that Holden Caulfield's view of the world is found in the classic's most famous line, "If you had a million years to do it in, you couldn't rub out even half the '*censored* you' signs in the world' (202). This statement clearly shows that in Holden's view There is no placid and pleasant place left in the world.That's The whole trouble. You can't find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there...
