In What various ways does the narrative viewpoint affect the text?

In theCatcher in the Rye, By J.D. Salinger, the narrative's point of view affect the test dramatically because the audience knows Holden is a liar. This first-person point of view makes the text unique as if it is a biography about their life, or in this case, in three days. Holden's point of view dramatically affects the text because since he is naive, he makes the text sound like he is honest and trustworthy

But, this is ironic because the audience is aware that he is not always truthful, which is why he doesn't tell the full story of what happened at Pencey Prep and why he leaves. He does this to make it sound as if he is a good person and make him seem better than his actual self. So, in a way, he is favoring himself to make him sound like a good student.

The reader is informed about this because he even admitted that "I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life". This solidifies the reasoning of why he did not tell the whole story at Pencey, and why he seems to be better than he is. In conclusion, this forms an intriguing book, as it is in the vision of a seventeen-year-old, which gives the audience a different perspective on the book.
