Chapter 14

Characters: Holden, Sunny, Maurice

Theme: He stands up for himself. Not a coward.

Summary: Holden sits in his hotel room and smokes while he starts to think about leaving Allie home one day from a BB-gun game. It was right befor his death, and he feels guilty for it. Any time he thinks of Allie he wonders back to that day, but instead tells Allie to come along. Holden then crawls into bed, and feels like praying but his religion problems stop him from doing so. Then someone knocks on the door, and Holden opens it in his pajamas to find Sunny and Maurice standing there. Maurice and Holden argue about what was really said in the elevator about the cost. Holden knows that he said only five, but Maruice denies it and wants the extra five even though nothing really happened. Murice pins him to the wall, hits him, and Sunny grabs his wallet and the five dollars. Holden curls up on the floor and thinks of this moment as a movie, but he doens't like movies so he tried to avoid that thought. He ends up getting up however and goes into bed.
