A Perfect Day for Bananafish - Noah Hawks-Ladds

Noah Hawks-Ladds
Period G
9/9/14

A couple of questions:

Why does Seymour have all these names for Muriel?

Do the German poems have some sort of significance to a World War? It mentions he was in the army.

Does Seymour have to see a psychiatrist because of depression from the war?

Why doesn't Muriel's mom trust Seymour?

What is the symbolism behind bananafish? Why is it a perfect day?

Why does Sybil ask about wax and olives, and why does her statement about chewing candles end in "finally?"

Why does he kiss Sybil's foot, and why does he ask the woman if she is looking at his feet?

Why did he kill himself?

^^ Much discussion needed tomorrow.
