Holden was on his way up to his room in the elevator until Maurice asked him if he wanted to throw. He says yes agreeing to the 5 dollar throw. He goes to his room, brushes his teeth, and tries to look nice. Once the girl arrives, Holden trips over the bag and embaresses himself right away. What a good first impression right! Well then she comes in and takes off her coat. She is wearing a green dress that is revealing herself. Of course Holden is liking it, but he is too chicken to do anything about this prostitute in his room. So they just talk, and then he gives her five dollars but thats not good enough according to her. She wants ten dollars!
I think this follows the motif about him lying and talking about sex a lot. He is a virgin so why is he saying he always needs to get some? \Depression was another motif that it follows because he is so depressed in this whole book, but after this scene, he is even MORE depressed. Maybe he should do something with his life so he isn't so depressed? Just my opionion. After the scene, I was still confused about why he kept beating Holden up once Sunny grabbed 5 dollars already.
This scene really changed the book because you find out Holden is just a fake when he talks about girls ALL THE TIME! He has never had sex, im not judging him or anything, but he doesn't need to act like he has.
