"Hollywood's not America"
Holden Caulfield is a character with many triumphs and flaws in his life, but often his flaws overshadow his originality. When describing his family, particularly his older brother, he brings up an interesting point of what truly is "original." In high school one of the biggest insults is that someone is "fake" or simply tries to be someone that they are not. Holden presents this situation to the reader through the ways of his brother and his career of working in Hollywood.
