A Perfect Day for Bananafish by J.D. Salinger

This was a.....twisted and confusing short story. At first I thought Seymour was going to be like Holden, but he just seems overly lost in his own world. Even more than Holden. I think Muriel seems more like rebellious Holden. She seemed young in the beginning but as she talked over the phone with her mother, she sounded older and older. This sort of reminds me of how Holden seems to want to act like a grown-up but at the same time acts like a kid.
They both don't want to come home, but in the end they both will have to. Holden because he promised Phoebe, and Muriel will probably go home because Seymour shot himself after coming from the beach.
