In Salinger's novel, The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caufield makes it very clear that he does not like fake or phony people. Throughout the story Holden at times makes the reader feel like he or she should feel bad for him because of the hardships he's been through and how he has to deal with the "phonies" when he is actually one himself. As the story goes on Holden proves himself to be the real phony of the book because he never goes through with what he intends to do, he is overly concerned about sex but thinks its overrated, and he's very critical about other peoples lives. Holden Caulfield is the true phony and even more so a huge hypocrite throughout the novel. To start, All he wants to do is connect with someone but the boy has high standards.
Crooks does not associate with many people which causes him not to have many friends. He is also a hard worker,as soon as he finishes he goes to his bunk and stays quite till the day is over.

He doesn’t read as much now because the characters in the books now resemble certain aspects of his life (‘’seem far too familiar’’). Instead, he prefers to get drunk (‘’get stewed’’). The world he used to escape to by reading is no longer in reach. As a result of being stuck in his ideal world throughout his childhood and adolescence, he is not prepared for reality. Books that were once so valuable to him and worth ruining his eyes are now useless (‘’books are a load of crap’’).
The narrator showed little appreciation for his wife and had no friends. Likewise, in “A Small, Good Thing” the baker lived in an isolated world. He was self-centered and thought only about himself. He was very grumpy and mean. The bakery was his place of desolation because he did not like the interaction with people.
As shown throughout this essay, it is clear that Holden tries to be friends with most people he meets, but they lack the brain to stimulate a decent conversation with him, he tends to naturally alienate himself. Holden does not even know he alienates them until it is too late. It has become second nature for him, and might suggest that he is a phony himself for not realizing and/or acting upon
A raving sociopath at times, Cartman occasionally lets his eight-year old consciousness shine through. Unlike most of the other characters on the show, Cartman rarely if ever shows any concern for superego. Cartman unabashedly has no sense of right or wrong, willfully hurts people for his own gratification, and cares not for the social norms and mores that guide social behavior.

serious = not light-hearted: "He's a serious student and always does his homework." shy = quiet, because you are not very confident: "He's so shy and hates saying anything to people he doesn't know." sincere = saying what you believe (opposite of insincere): "He's sincere in his beliefs." slapdash = doing your work quickly and carelessly: "He's got a very slapdash attitude – I doubt he'll ever become a lawyer." slimy = trying to get what you want by being over-friendly: "That man is so slimy – he makes me feel sick!"
Even though the men are surrounded by others inside they are isolated by their lack of companionship , they have no trust in one another except slim for his word 'is law'. This emphasizes the desperation during the depression and allows us as the readers to feel for these men and put
I find it pretty easy. I usually prefer to work alone. Mostly, I can concentrate more alone. I enjoy math in general. I can understand every topic clearly.
Germany felt shunned by the rest of the world. Anyone that was involved in that event had a reputation. These issues have caused fights and discrimination that affected people's decisions- and those are just the aftereffects. In The Giver, there is no history, and though everyone seems to be connected to each other, there is not much emotion in people. People do work well as a community, but they are not much of a society.
