Just
pick any ten things and that depressesCaulfield. He's not exactly a ray of sunshine about
anything.
1. He doesn't like phoniness, which basically will complete a lot
of this list.
2. He doesn't like the stereotypical jock or frat boy. He
thinks that are phony and posturing.
3. He doesn't like the movies. He
thinks actors are phony.
4. He doesn't like stupid girls. It's possible
that Holden has a thing against women in general, because of this quote: I mean most girls are
so dumb and all." I suppose the key is "most" which means that he doesn't get
annoying with ALL women, but MOST.
5. The Biblical disciples annoy Holden.
He feels that they were more or less useless to Christ while he was alive. He can't stand
that. That one cracks me up, because Holden isn't exactly a useful guy
himself.
6. He doesn't like school cliques.
7. Along
the lines of social cliques, Holden can't stand economic social status divisions.
8. Adults. He doesn't have high regard for adults. Thinks they are all phonies.
9. Despite the fact that he is a young kid, he is depressed by his own
childhood.
10. Teachers deciding things for him.
11.
Not being able to say goodbye.
