Analysis Of A Perfect Day For Bananafish

Improved Essays
How “A Perfect Day for Bananafish” shows the difficulty of communication between children and adults.

We live in a society with two types of people, the ones that have not experienced the world, and those that have. Between these different types of people, the lack of understanding each other can cause a communication barrier as neither can communicate the loss of purity and the of absence of knowledge of how the world functions. The barrier between innocence and adult sexuality prevent characters from communicating in “A Perfect Day for Bananafish” by J.D. Salinger, because neither side will see the other's true concerns on humanity.
Our story takes place in a hotel on the Florida beach, in a room that Muriel and her husband, Seymour, are

    Recognizing Salinger’s record with attraction to young or innocent girls and women, this could be seen as problematic. In Anne Marple’s essay, “Salinger’s Oasis of Innocence,” she describes how many of Salinger’s female characters appear to almost be asexual. When women in his works are sexual beings, this is often seen as a negative, almost “witchy.” Marple quotes William Wiegand who said, “Where object of delight is found in women, these women are often little girls or nuns, and what is admired is sexless in essence” (Marple). Salinger even addresses the issues of sex when he has one of the protagonists of “A Perfect Day for Bananafish,” a dissatisfied, newly wed woman, Muriel, reading an article titled, “Sex is Fun--or Hell” in the opening scene.…

    SeaWorld is a multi-million dollar corporation that serves as home for 23 of arguably some of the oceans’ most beautiful creatures. Blackfish is trying to change that with a very captivating argument. Although emotionally compelling, Blackfish is an invalid argument against captivity, It offers a solution and demonstrates practicality, which makes it an argument of policy. However, it is not a valid one, for it lacks a strong and reliable foundation of evidence to support its reasoning for the solution it demands. Blackfish presents former trainers and scientific representatives who present facts about SeaWorld, as well as scientific claims that object to captivity.…

    The poem “Bananas on Fire: The Virgin’s Guide to Surviving Automatic Heat Death” was written by Isiah Fish and appeared in the 2013 edition of the Zephyrus, Western Kentucky University’s creative writing publication. This poem is incredibly well done with many strengths and only one weakness as far as I can see. It is about the innocence and perversion of youth, the loss of virginity later in life, and even the future beyond. Fish’s writing style and frank diction speak directly to the college audience. I believe this poem is one of best poems, if not the best one, in the publication.…

    “How to Talk to Girls at Parties” is a short story written fiction-fantasy writer Neil Gaiman. The story follows two young teens as they attend a foreign party without any awareness of the strangeness of the people there. The story paints a picture of a young man beginning his transition into adulthood and attempting to learn how acquire the things he now lusts for. I will be using two forms of literary criticism to dissect the work of literature, Modern Formalism and Psychoanalytical Criticism, in hopes of establishing the depth reached by Psychoanalyzing texts as the superior of the two. Formalism is a form of literary criticism that looks to evaluate a piece based on the content, form, and execution.…

    In Sable and Dark Glasses Joan Didion remembers her distaste for being a child and her yearning for a glamorous, grown up life. I never had much interest in being a child. As a way of being it seemed flat, failed to engage. When I was in fact a child, six and seven and eight years old, I was utterly baffled by the enthusiasm with which my cousin Brenda, a year and a half younger, accepted her mother’s definition of her as someone who needed to go to bed at six-thirty and finish every bite of three vegetables, one of them yellow, with every meal. Brenda was also encouraged to make a perfect white sauce, and to keep a chart showing a gold star for every time she brushed her teeth.…

    Although Fitzgerald never met Salinger, his guidance can be found in many aspects of Salinger's life. “There is also evidence that Fitzgerald’s writing directly inspired Salinger’s own works. One prominent example of this is the ending of A Perfect Day for Bananafish” (Gabriel). Salinger’s novel displays similar characteristics to Fitzgerald's own May Day from his early years as a writer, showing that his writing has revolutionized literature for not only his generation but all that follow him. Fitzgerald reformed everything from people view of the twenties to future American writers, he is truly one of the greats.…

    The effectiveness of writing can be most simply be determined by its ability to sufficiently display a message across the the reader. Every piece of literature contains a message, whether blatantly obvious or hidden under written complexities. These messages, however, have a much stronger appeal to the audience while encompassed in personal interjections and anecdotes. When the reader can connect to the author, their message is much more effective and personal to the reader as opposed to cold statements of ideas. Deborah Tannen in “But What Do You Mean?”…

    SeaWorld. We have all heard the name, considering they were once one of the most successful amusement parks in the world. Everyone wanted to come see Shamu, the huge majestic killer whale, do tricks so close to us we could get soaked. The whales always seemed to be in sync with the performers; we thought nothing could top getting splashed by gallons of water by a humongous whale. Unfortunately, in recent years, the saying “all press is good press” has not seemed to apply to SeaWorld.…

    Initially, Salinger develops the theme as he describes Holden’s flashbacks, showing how the deterioration of Holden 's relationships forces him to retreat from the world. In addition, Salinger’s use of Holden’s language of depression also demonstrates the amount of devastation that being on his own with nothing to anchor himself to the world is causing. Through these elements of Holden’s language, Salinger illustrates the depths one can fall to when stripped of all human connections. Such a state is no way to live, especially in adolescence. Instead, people should spend this time coming to understand themselves and of age.…
