chapter 13

Holden walks all the way back to the hotel and while he is walking he thinks about his gloves that got stolen. he starts thinking about confronting the person that stole them and getting very angry and even punching them. He admits though that he is a coward and does not like violence. in the elvator going up to his room the elevator oporator says he will send him up a prositute for 5 bucks. Holdens says he would like that so while he is waiting he is thinking that his lack of aggression is the reason that he has never slept with anyone. Finally the prostitute arrives, her name is Sunny. She is not very friendly and has a very high voice. she takes off her dress and sits on his lap.When she does this he becomes very nervous and makes up another lie that he had an operation and has not yet recovered from it. He asks her if she just wants to talk, and she gets kind of mad and says that she got woken up in the middle of the night for nothing. He asks her to leave and pays her the five bucks. She tries to tell him that he owes her ten but he refuses to pay ten and she leaves.

Holden did not really want to have sex with the prostuite, he just wanted someone to talk to. He has never gotten over the death of his brother Allie. He is becoming more and more depressed and hates the whole world because of his death.
