Why is Holden Caulfield not a phony? i need one piece of evidence that suggests why he’s NOT a phony

Based on definition number one, Holden Caulfield is a phony because when he introduces himself to people he does not know, he gives himself a different name as well as tells them false stories of his life and past. Hence, him being "fake" and "not real."

Holden expands his definition of phony to include anyone who is not 100% genuine at all times or that he doesn't like. People who are charismatic, wealthy, attractive, friendly to others, or superficial are phonies according to Holden.

Holden characterizes “phonies” as people who are dishonest or fake about who they really are, or people who play a part just to fit into a society that Holden questions. Therefore, Holden hates “phonies” because they represent everything he fea rs or fights against, such as adulthood, conformity, and commercialism.
