Holden Caulfield is the protagonist from the book The Catcher in the Rye. One the things about him that caught my attention was his hate for all the the phony things and people. Since the beginning of the book he makes pretty clear how much the phoniness bothers him, for example when he said that the principal's daughter knew that his father was a phony slob, or the time when Mr. Spencer, the history teacher which he gets along with, used the word grand to refer to his parents and he said he could throw up just for hearing it. There are other examples like when he told he left Elkton Hills Schools because it was full of phonies and its principal was the phoniest of all, or when he calls his senior roommate phony for being a religious. When I read how he complains about the false things remains me of the song "The pretender", by Foo Fighters, that has phrases like "Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend". Also, I think the phrase "Spinning infinity boy... It's never ending" reflects Holden's teenagers years, when he flunked class after class and was expelled from schools, as a cycle that he didn't care to repeat, even though when Mr. Spencer talks with about it.
