Jay Gatsby is a rich man of the early twenties and Holden Caulfield is a young man whose brother, Allie had died of leukemia. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. In my opinion, Holden Caulfield is phonier than Jay Gatsby because Holden isn’t living a lie that he told himself and to other people, he also lies more often than Gatsby and, he has also lied about his age for many reason
The fact that Gatsby lies about his life as a rich man from childhood after he runs from home can be described as “Jay Gatsby” wanting a new life, starting with his name. Before Jay lived a life that was only sought after by him when he was young he was named James Gats of the family Gats. The Gats’ were dirt poor farmers
