Catcher in the Rye Response

Holden lies alot in this chapter. I think he lies because he can pretend that he is someone else that doesnt have all the problems he has. He lies about why he is leaving Pency. He said that he had a brian tumor. Holden wants to be something that he is not. He is really depressed and tries to find wyss to get over this depression. Lying is one way to cope with his depression.
