How we cite our quotes:
Quote #4
"I seen you right away, she said. I always pick the one I want" (23.193).
Throughout the book, the kid can seem like a passive guy. And that goes for sex, too. In this case, a prostitute walks up to him and more or less tells him they're going to have sex. Well, that was easy.
Quote #5
"He was naked and he rose up smiling and gathered [the kid] in his arms against his immense and terrible flesh and shot the wooden barlatch home behind him" (23.206).
This is the last time we ever see the kid in this book. It's hard to tell whether there is anything sexual about the judge embracing him and pulling him into the outhouse. The judge might have sex with him, might kill him, or both. It's impossible to know.
Quote #6
"She led him through a door where an old Mexican was handing out towels and candles and they ascended like refugees of some sordid disaster the darkened plankboard stairwell to the upper rooms" (23.194).
A small prostitute grabs the kid and takes him up to a room above a tavern for sex. Being his usual confused and passive self, the kid decides to follow. At this point, he's like a leaf going in whatever direction he's blown by the wind. This time it just happens to be right into a prostitute's bed.
