Three Stories Comparison

The first connection between the three stories is between the stories, "A Perfect day for Banana Fish" and "Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut." The connection is how the character Jimmy is someone who Ramona cares about but once he gets crashed by a car, Ramona tries to forget about him. This can compare to the relationship Seymour and his wife had and how they loved each other. Once Seymour went to war, the two of them grew apart, which could have been one of the reasons Seymour committed suicide when he returned from war. Another connection between stories could be with the stories, "Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut" and, "Just Before the War With the Eskimos," with how in Uncle Wiggily Ramona and her mom got into an argument about holding onto Jimmy and not letting him go so quickly. This can relate to Just Before the War because Selena and Ginnie fight about paying each other back. In both of these stories argument come up and then get resolved.
