ANTSIJ and Bananafish stuff

Hey guys. It's Molly (duh)
Bananafish:
  1. Muriel really reminds me of Sally from CITR because all she talks about with her mother is clothing and Seymour's behavior instead of how everything's going, the scenery, and all that type of stuff. It is also sort of evident that she doesn't really love Seymour all that much, as she lost the German book he gave her and doesn't really stick up for him that much, and it reminds me of how Sally doesn't really like Holden.
  2. Sybill reminds me of Phoebe from CITR because she is innocent and curious and very trusting of strangers. Seymour sort of sees her as like this little clean and good spot in his life at the moment (as in Florida) like Holden sees Phoebe.
  3. Seymour sort of reminds me of Holden from CITR because he has really worked himself into a pit. He doesn't really like Muriel because he killed himself and he really doesn't enjoy all that materialistic stuff like Holden.
ANTSIJ stuff:
  1. I think that the quote, "Our own school, John, no buildings. Break out of the classroom prison. All we need is the sky!" really refers to transcendentalist thought because part of transcendentalism is not really believing in the whole organized government and religion, and how each person should be self-reliant. "Breaking out of the classroom prison" is like saying to not go along with the rest of the population and be your own person, living off the simple land and not relying on others to teach you things that they think that everyone needs to know.
So yeah that's it for today. Penguins in space ^_^
