Specialist Lockwood said when he goes to the strip club, he makes up an identity for himself and enjoys the easy talk. For example, he names himself Eric Bible and negotiates with strippers by teasing them with a one-hundred dollar bill. He asks them, "why should I invest my money on you and not Barbie (the blonde stripper sliding down the pole)". He claims that seventy-five percent of the time, after a little charm and chitchat his method works. Before the night ends he gets some lap dances by the stripper that
They brought her along to nightclubs and parties all over the cities that Annie had been exploring on her long journey, where she dated DJ Butterfoot who had also had a thing with her sister before her. All of this because her sister had come through before her and flattened things out with the locals almost seemingly for Annie so she could fit in such a large, busy place with ease. In the town of Moosonee, Will had not a huge variety of people to pick form to be friends with, yet it seems he did make friends with the right people, but also made enemies with the worst possible person, Marius. In the end he realized that it was silly that their fathers could be good friends but they couldn’t discovering that good relationships and friends are a very important thing in life, though it was too late as Marius died no long after.

For many years women have been trying to gain more respect from other women but mostly men, so that they can be equal to them. This happens in work, schools, and in the home Cool For You portrays a lot of patriarchy situations. For example when all the students prepare to go to the Arsencia Beach party, they chose a male rather than a female to pick up the liquor for them. This displays male dominance because they are taking control of getting the liquor. Another situation is When the mother feels that her son terry got suspended for drinking because he was suppose to play a male figure in the house since they have no father and he disappointed the family by getting drunk.
His first notable fall is when he hires a prostitute named Sunny because he feels depressed and thinks maybe having sexual intercourse with a prostitute will lift his spirits after being rejected by a group of girls and also make him more of an adult. In this case, Holden isn’t much better than his roommate, Stradlater, when he went on a date with Jane. When Holden is waiting for Sunny to show up, he says, “Finally, somebody knocked on the door, and when I went to open it, I had my suitcase right in the way and I fell over it and damn near broke my knee” (93). Holden is about to have sex for the first time and lose his virginity, and the fall indicates the loss of innocence that is about to occur in his life. Holden ends up being too afraid to do anything because Holden says, “she was young as hell” (94).
Kirsten Lister The Great Gatsby March 7, 2012 Mrs. Bentley 1A Great Gatsby Essay The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald has many parties in it that are symbolic of the characters desire to enjoy themselves and each other. Every party has a different unexpected outcome that startles the characters individually. Myrtle’s party in New York is supposed to be in honor of her and Tom, but turns into a binge drinking party. Myrtle goes too far with her drinking and winds up irritating Tom to the extent where he is compelled to break her nose. Gatsby’s ball is much different.
The music, in the background “bright lights, big city” is ironic as Melanie insults her old friends at the small-town pub by asking, “how do you people live like this?”. This is like Gwen’s angry rhetorical questions like “Why do they live like that?”. Melanie’s turning point is when she choses to give up the fairy tale to remarry Jake. She realises the relationships are more important. Like in Away, Melanie escapes to the beach in the storm where she meets her true love, Jake.
Chapter Ten "Three Women Are Clever" In this chapter Holden goes to the lounge room in his hotel to try and catch a drink. Even though he is underage he still trys to drink alcoholic beverages. While he is at this lounge he mets three women from Seattle, these women seem to be very obsessed with seeing movie stars. They take Holden flirty presence as a joke, and don't really hold a conversation with him. They know he is too young to drink because he is drinking coke.
Holden was bored and wide awake in his hotel room in New York. Holden decided to go to the bar and hang out but in the elevator the worker offers him a prostitute, Holden decided that he should so he talked his way into something he did not really want. Even today these two things that Holden got into are unacceptable, a minor smoking and buying a prostitute. The reader knows that The Catcher in the Rye is for a younger but mature audience because of how Holden acts throughout this book. The reason for this thesis is because of how he acts and the decisions or situations could be taken the wrong way
Various instances show how Holden’s ideas and perceptions surrounding relationships are not properly formed. For example, after dancing with the blonde women at a nightclub whom he had just met, Holden says “I was half in love with her by the time we sat down.” (73) Love is a feeling that is acquired over much more than a short dance with a girl you’ve never met before. Holden is alienated from genuine relationships so much though that a good dance with an attractive girl can trick himself into thinking he is in love. Earlier in the novel, Holden also says “sex is something I really don’t understand too hot” ( 63) yet earlier in that same chapter contradicts himself by saying “In my mind, I’m probably the biggest sex maniac you ever saw” (62). It seems odd that Holden really doesn’t understand sex yet constantly thinks about it and even does actions like pay for a prostitute.
Gatsby may portray that the main reason why he throws massive parties is because he just simply wants to, but the true reason is because he hopes that Daisy will one day show up. Also, Nick, being the grounded man that he is, notices how impersonal Gatsby’s parties are, when he remarks “The bar is in full swing, and floating rounds of cocktails permeate the garden outside, until the air is alive with chatter and laughter, and casual innuendo and introductions forgotten on the spot, and enthusiastic meetings between women who never knew each other's names." (Fitzgerald 45). This quote makes it evident that West Eggers lived only in the present and simply used Gatsby for his generosity. West Eggers are known for their outrageous activities and parties whereas East Eggers carry themselves with more confidence, class, and statue.
