1. Is the motif a noun? verb? adjective?
A motif is the action or idea of an author in the story as it goes. It can depend on what it is, it can sometimes be a noun, verb or adjective.
2. How does it come up in the novel, and how does it impact what is going on? What happens immediately preceding or immediately following a mention or discussion of this motif?
Sex impacts the story since he uses words related to sex to explain other things in life, such as selling your work out just for money. He uses prostitute as a word to explain what is happening to his brother and his brilliant work.
3. What is the mood when this idea or thing is brought up? Would you associate this with times when Holden is content? frightened? frantic? confused? Is this mood consistent with every incidence of this motif?
Sex is a theme brought up because a big part of the story Holden is trying to lose his virginity. Sometimes Holden talks about sex in an respectful way for the reader. I think Holden thinks of sex as an action only for people who really like each other. This mood is not consistent with every incident of this motif.
4. Is Holden alone when this motif occurs? If not, with whom is he interacting? How would you characterize that interaction? Does this motif occur both when he is alone and when he is with other people? Is there a connection to be made?
He thinks in Jane because Holden knows her really well and he doesn´t really knows the guy she dates so Holden, in his opinion should be having sex with her instead.
5. What does this motif tell you about Holden, in a âbig pictureâ way - Does this suggest anything about his personality? His weaknesses or strengths? His sense of himself?
He is egre to have sex and his personality changes when he talks about it in the novel.
6. Tie it all together: Did any pattern emerge? Pick out other words or ideas used in conjunction with this motif. Look back on your investigation and come up with a single sentence that sums up what youâve discovered. Write three or four more sentences supporting your thesis sentence. Use references from the novel, and form an opinion of your own.
Holden is a virgin who wants to lose his virginity. In my opinion he should live his regular life and when the time comes when he cares about someone that much and both want to do it, have sex. I think he should not act like the character in Speak, Andy Evans and rape people just to have these kinds of relaitons
