One of the first instances of Holden pointing out phoniness, is when his roommate Stradlater barges into his room. At this time, Stradlater greets Ackley, and Holden responds with “He was at least a pretty friendly guy, Stradlater. It was partly a phony kind of friendly, but at least he always said hello to Ackley and all.” (Page 26).
