Do the characters Mr. Spencer, Ackley and Stradlater strike you as believable people? Do Holden's observations of them seem accurate or inaccurate? What method does Salinger use for Holden's description of people?
Holden is an untrustworthy narrator and although he may get the right idea or generalization about a character, he doesn't tell the whole truth about him/her or his/her situation. The descriptions of Mr. Spencer, Ackley and Stadlater are generally accurate, but Holden probably leaves out a lot of details about them.
