Chapter 13

Characters: Holden, Sunny, Maurice

Theme: Hypocritical

Summary: After leaving the nightclub he kind of feels like an idiot so instead of buying another cab ride he walks 41 blocks back to the hotel. He thinks about the gloves that were stolen from him at Pencey and what he would do to the guy who stole them. Holden wouldn't plan on hitting the guy, but knew that the blame/admit game he would play with him could take hours. Holden gets to the hotel and goes into the elevator to find some guy asking him if he wants a prostitute to be sent to his room for five dollars. Holden is depressed already so told the guy sure so he gets to his room and changes his shirt. He then admits to being a virgin. Sunny the prostitute knocks, and comes into the room. She's a young girl with a high pitch voice and when she took off her dress Holden started to panic by then realizing it was wrong. He starts to make excuses saying he just got surgery and needs to rest, and he thought he was better but wasn't. Sunny sits on his lap trying to seduce him, but it doesn't work. Holden gives her the five dollars and tells her to leave, but she tells him it was supposed to be ten.
