Holden vs Igby

Between the two characters Holden and Igby I would say Holden lives his life by his morals more then Igby. Holden belives that people who are fake are "phony" because they pretend to act happy around people they may hate or dislike. During the Holden was never fake around people he disliked and acted the way he wanted to. If he disagreed with them he would tell them or if he did not like what they were saying.

Igby is much like in the way he lives his life on the edge and isn't sure of what will happen to him in his future, but doesn't much care. Igby however acted fake around people when inside he felt lost, confused and scared becuase he expectd that one day he would have a mental breakdown like his father Jason. However in the end of the movie he finds out Jason isn't his father. So I feel because of this Holden is more genuine because he feels he won't ever be fake and he never is, when Igby can be.
