Allegedly Handsome in a Turtle Neck Sweater

     Hello, in this blog I would like to explore further the small group discussion of is Buddy Willard a hypocrite? Here is the link to that discussion if you want to take a look:  https://thecomingofagenovel2026.blogspot.com/2026/02/small-group-discussion-is-buddy-willard.html , but you might get a redirect notice where you want to click on the first link which looks like the one in this blog although the second link may not work anyway. I think Esther Greenwood means that she thinks Willard is fake by calling him a hypocrite.      I think Esther thought Buddy is her ideal man . During one Christmas vacation, Esther says that Buddy wore "a thick white turtleneck sweater and looking so handsome I could hardly stop staring" (Plath 59).

What I mean is how many of the lies he told could be considered as white lies. I do not really want to cite a source in MLA format on what the definition of a white lie is and for a joke (you might get later) so if you do not know what a white lie is, according to me, a white lie is a lie that is relatively harmless to the person on the receiving end of the lie. Now let’s look back on the lies Holden has told and determine whether they are white or not. I mean whether the lies Holden told can classify as being a white lie or not based on the prior definition. Now it's time to play white or not white! I mean white lie or not white lie!      For t...
