What lie does Holden tell on the
train? Why do you think he does this? What does this say about his personality/
mental state? Be specific.
He lies to Mrs Morrow to make her feel better about her son, telling her how amazing and cool he was. When the truth is he wasnt that person. I think he does it to have someone to talk to that would have the same thing in common because hes so lonely. It says that hes not in the right state of mind to lie, and to lie about things so stupid makes his personality sketchy and his mental state not too good.
