How did you feel about the characters? Whom did you like or not like and why ? 
Holden 
- I liked, he was odd and misunderstood character.
- Holden has a weird view on the world
- he dislikes many people
- He's not mentally healthy and I found it interesting to see things from his perspective


Ackley 
I didn't like
- I found him annoying and kinda irrelevant to the plot
- he had terrible hygiene
- in everyone's business


Stradlater 
I didn't like
from Holden's perspective and views on stradlater he was also annoying
coming off very self absorbed ( which sort of helps Holden because Stradlater doesn't care enough to question Holden.)

Phoebe
I liked
One of the only characters that Holden cares about throughout the whole novel.
She cares for her brother and is looking out for him.
Holden constantly thinks of phoebe

My opinions of the characters kinda depend on Holdens view on the person. The description that Holden gives is the only side of the characters we can see. so when Holden dislikes someone only the negative traits of this person are being explained. Which makes having a different opinion than Holden's incredibly hard.
