Summary: Holden walks forty-one blocks back to the hotel, to have a prostitute ordered to his room thanks to the elevator man for five dollars. Holden is awoken in the middle of the night by Maurice the elevator man and Sunny the prostitute to collect their five dollars Holden didn't pay because it was ten.
Quotation: "He didn't get sore about it he never got sore about anything but I keep thinking about it anyways, when I get very depressed." (99)
Quotation Significance: We learn from this quote that Holden's really caring, and puts a lot on himself. When he is depressed about something small, he thinks about the things he did bad years ago, and adds that on to whatever he is depressed about.
Reflection: These chapters were interesting to read. I for sure thought that when the prostitute was coming to meet Holden, that he was going to sleep with her. It was interesting to read about how Holden's view changed. It was sad to read about how Holden was beaten by Maurice because he didn't pay ten dollars only five, but it was Maurice himself that originally told him it was only going to be five dollars. As well it was sad to hear Holden talk about Allie again, and how he still feels guilty for leaving him out of a bb-war.
Discussion Question: What was the real reason that Holden didn't want to have sex with the prostitute Sunny?
