Movies and Hollywood Motif

Movies and Hollywood Motif
Movies are a motif representing phoniness.”Now he’s out in Hollywood. D.B being a prostitute. If there’s one thing I hate, it’s the movies. Don’t even mention them to me” pg 1Since Holdren doesn’t like phonies, he relates that people in Hollywood and Movie acters ruin good people like his brother D.B and also good ruin good books. His Brother wrote a book called The Screet Goldfish, this was widely popular and he becomes famous and flashy. Flashy to Holden represents phonyies because they are showing off their wealth by buying things they don’t really need. His brother buys a Jaguar which is a preety nice car but he could have bought just a regular car like a Ford or mazda. He also thinks that people in Hollywood just do it for the money and to get famous. AN example would be his brother and the car. Also I think theres a little jelousy involded. Holden , who is unsuccessful, is jelouse because his brother is successful and his parants will want him to be like D.B. In conclusion Phoniness is the way that holden is different to his family and to Movies.
