Answer from: MOONCHILDSUGA

The two examples when Holden skews reality with exaggeration are:

First is found in Chapter 1, when he talks about the football game with the Saxton Hall. He exaggerates when he says the one will 'commit su-ic-ide if Pencey didn't win the game.'Second exaggeration is found in Chapter 3, when he exaggerates about living conditions in Pencey.

Explanation:

'The Catcher in the Rye' is a novel written by J. D. Salinger. The book is about a sixteen-year-old boy named Holden Caulfield. The book recounts the life of Holden for two days after he is expelled from his school Pencey Prep, exploring the New York city before reaching home.

Holden Caulfield can not be trusted as a reliable narrator as he has used many hyperbole and exaggeration to narrate his accoount.

The two examples when Holden skews reality with exaggeration are:

In Chapter 1, Holden talks about the football game to be played with the Saxton Hall. He asserts that if Pencey didn't win the game, one would commit su-ic-ide. He is exaggerating the situation here if Pencey didn't win. ' It was the last game of the year, and you were supposed to commit su-ic-ide or something if old Pencey didn't win.'In Chapter 3, Holden again exaggerates about the living condition in Pencey Prep school. 'At Pencey, you either froze to death or died of the heat.'

Answer from: Quest

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
