Chapter 3 - Holden Caulfield

Holden says that he doesn't like phony people in the previous chapter but right at the start of chapter 3 he starts to develop the tendency to lie a lot to people and as you get to know Holden the lies he tells become more apparent. Holden repeats both words in this chatper as he said in chapter 1 and the words are 'Very big deal' and 'That killed me.' both phrases here are somehow sarcastic and talking about things in a good way, it is kind of like a euphemism. Holden has a so called 'friend' called Ackley but whenever Holden sees this Ackley he always tries to get rid of him proving that Holden likes/prefers to be completely alone, but in some ways Holden looks up to Ackley and maybe he is jealous of him? Holden calls Ackley 'Ackley Kid' which tells me that Holden knows how to wind certain people up which could have lead to Holden being a social outcast and being alone a lot of the time.
