Three Stories Comparison

One connection I can make is between all 3 stories. In all 3 stories, there is somebody mentioned to be apart of a war. In "A Perfect Day for Banana Fish", Seymour fought in a war, in "Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut", Eloise's ex-lover Walt fought in a war, and in "Just Before the War with the Eskimos", Ginnie's sister's fiancé fought in a war. Another connection I can make is between "Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut" and "Just Before the War with the Eskimos". In both stories, there is somebody that isn't willingly to let go of somebody else. In "Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut", Eloise can not let go of Walt, her ex-lover who died in war. In "Just Before the War with the Eskimos", Franklin can not let go of Joan, Ginnie's sister that he met at a Christmas party, and he tried to contact her afterwards, but failed. A third connection I can make is between "A Perfect Day for Banana Fish" and "Just Before the War with the Eskimos". In both stories, there are questionable/inappropriate occurrences. In "A Perfect Day for Banana Fish", Seymour kisses Sybil's feet while they are looking for banana fish. In "Just Before the War with the Eskimos", Franklin's friend reaches over and grabs the collar of Ginnie's coat without asking.
