This Perfect Day
This Perfect Day is probably Ira Levin's greatest work of his career. Levin's work, despite being written in 1970, is very plausible having realistic
technology, such as scanners and computers which watch over the entire family, the entire population of the world. This novel could be used to show
the dangers of a Utopian society as well as being full of anti–Communist and anti–racist sentiment. This Perfect Day also displays the feeling that
communist and segregated institutions can be defeated, as the protagonist Chip over powers the "family" and their vile Uni Comp as well as rising
above the segregated community he reaches after fleeing the family. This work could best be placed in an area of the curriculum where it is...show more

Symbolism In A Perfect Day For Bananafish
Stories and books uses literary elements and writer's craft to further the plot and interest of the story. Literary elements such as, mood and symbolisms
are ideas conveyed in the story, but not directly said. Writer's craft like, language, and imagery, are used to enhance the reader's senses and are directly
stated in the text. A Perfect Day for Bananafish andThe Secret Life of Walter Mitty use both of these items in them. Due to the stronger and more
practical use of the literary elements and writer's craft in A Perfect Day for Bananafish it is a better story than TheSecret Life of Walter Mitty.
A Perfect Day for Bananafish is a story all about societal flaws and imperfection, that contains writer's craft and literary elements such as mood,
symbolism, language, and imagery. The author Salinger describes a materialistic woman (Muriel) on the phone with her mother talking about her
crazy husband (Seymour), and then tells of the husband on a beach playing with a little girl (Sybil). He tells a story about a fish, appropriately
named a bananafish, that eat bananas and dies, after this the little girl says she sees a bananafish, causing him to have temporary insanity and go
back to his hotel room where he kills himself. The reader wonders the reasons why Seymour kills himself, and what the bananafish story really
means. The story about the bananafish is the mood of the story, for the pressures of society. On page 7 it says "'They are very ordinary–looking fish
when

American Society's Materialism in "A Perfect Day For Bananafish" J.D Salinger believes society turns each and every person into bananafish. In his
short story A Perfect Day For Bananafish he expresses some of his views on the American society and the problems that he has with it. He believes
Americans put too much value in material possessions and that their lives, shaped by a constant bombardment of advertisements and new products that
are bigger and better than the last, are harmful to them, and the people around them. Salinger uses his short story A Perfect Day for Bananafish to
represent the materialism and consumerism of American society.
Salinger sets the scene for materialism from the very beginning by dedicating the first and most important sentence of his short story to New York
advertising men. The first sentence of a story is the hook and what makes people want to read further and figure out what happens so it is not spent
lightly. Salinger uses his first sentence here to tell the reader that there are "..ninety seven New York advertising men in the hotel, and, the way they
were monopolizing the long distance lines, the girl in 507 had to wait from noon till almost two thirty to get her call through."(pg1). This is
extremely important and says a lot about the purpose of the story and what it was written for. The fact that it was also placed right at the beginning of
the story only adds to its significance. Ninety seven advertising men are staying in this resort hotel in Florida and are calling out long distance,
presumably doing there job and still working. They value their job and the money and possessions it brings so much that they can't take the time to
appreciate what they already have and enjoy their vacation.
Salinger goes on to talk about what Muriel did while waiting for her phone to ring and using it as an example of the effects society can have on a
person's personality. He says "She used the time, though. She read an article in a woman's pocket sized magazine, called "Sex Is Fun–or Hell."She
washed her comb and brush." and that "She tweezed two freshly surfaced hairs from her mole."(pg1). These actions portray Muriel as a very vane and
materialistic person. Though normal people do

after it I'm ready for another day at school. Well that is what I think but I usually end up in bed asleep right up until 7.45 am. Luckily I have usually

Another couple of friends arrive at this house too and we all get together and walk to school. This walking to school together gives me a good
opportunity to make after school arrangements. Once at school (the walk takes about 15 minutes) I go to my tutor base and catch up with my friends
who don't walk to school with me. After a short rest I make my way to my first lesson on a Monday usually English.
English requires a lot of work and its quite interesting. All year it's work, work, work, which is hardly surprising seeing that it's GCSE year. I'm going
to need to work hard because qualifications are a necessary part of any career and I definitely want a career not just a job.
After the first two lessons I usually eat my lunch. It may seem strange that I eat my lunch at break but it takes so much time queuing at lunchtime just
so I can sit down and eat some food that I would rather eat my packed lunch early freeing up time at lunch for other activities. The only downside to
this is that you have lots of people surrounding you begging for food. Most people would probably just say "No", but I have real problems with
saying "No" and more often than not half my food is devoured by these hungry beasts.
Once break is finished I work until the real lunch time and then I hang around the common room or go to the library and do

A Perfect Day For Bananafish
By J.D. Salinger
A Perfect Day For Bananafish was written in 1948 by the American writer Jerome David Salinger. This was just three years after the ending of World
War II, where Salinger was stationed in Berlin, Germany. From further analysis of the short–story I have come to the conclusion that Seymour is
Salinger's role model. Seymour has just returned from World War II, as well as Salinger had when he wrote the story. Seymourreturns to his native
country very confused, dysfunctional and with some psychic issues.
From the conversation between Muriel and her mother, we acknowledge that Seymour didn't act normally after he has returned from the war. He
destroyed "all those lovely pictures from Bermuda" for...show more content...
Muriel, Seymour's wife, and her parents, are representing the kind of America the soldiers in World War II return to. They are unaware of what
exactly has taken place and what kinds of unexplainable cruelties these soldiers have experienced. On top of that, Muriel and her mother seem very
self–centered and extremely shallow, which doesn't make it any better for Seymour to return to, even though they seem to show great concern for
him and his kind of behavior. For example, we are being told about Muriel that "she was a girl who for a ringing phone dropped exactly nothing. She
looked as if her phone had been ringing continually ever since she had reached puberty."
Muriel's mother is also extremely concerned for Muriel because now Seymour has some psychic problems, she sees him as some loony maniac. In
spite of this, we know how Seymour behaves in the episode on the beach with Sybil, and Muriel's beliefs about Seymour are therefore somehow not
entirely correct, even though Seymour does act like one in the elevator on his way back to his hotel room.
To explain the tragic ending it's important to know that Salinger, at the time he wrote the story, showed great interest in Zen attitudes. According to Zen
attitudes suicide is not a failure, but a triumph, which

Theme Of A Perfect Day For Bananafish
In J.D. Salinger's short story, "A Perfect Day for Bananafish", readers observe the contrast of main character Seymour Glass's PTSD with his wife's
materialistic ways. Seymour's PTSD makes him appear to return back to childlike ways as he struggles to morph back into the adult world of America
in 1948. Readers see this as Seymour has better communication with the children of the hotel he's staying at than with his in–laws, wife, and other
adults. Other adults, like his wife and mother–in–law, view him as unhinged and possibly scary. On the other hand, children view him as funny and
delightful. This contrast of perspectives helps to carry the theme of lost innocence in a world of greed and failed communication.
The theme of childlike innocence clashing with the adult world of promiscuity is the driving force of "A Perfect Day for Bananafish." At first,
readers will see not only the adult world of postwar America, but also Seymour through a phone conversation between Muriel, Seymour's wife, and
Muriel's mother. At the very beginning, Muriel is reading a magazine entitled "Sex is Fun or Hell". Although this could indicate an issue in Muriel and
Seymour's sex life, it is more a notion that Muriel is fairly simple–minded (Lane). Muriel and her mother mainly discuss shallow ideas, such as the
latest fashions and Bronze. However, the two also converse over Seymour. According to Gary Lane, Seymour is seen as "crude and on the brink of
mental unbalance." Muriel insists her husband

Characters in A Perfect Day for Bananafish by J.D. Salinger The characters in Salinger?s ?A Perfect Day for Bananafish? seem to exist in opposite
worlds. On one hand, Salinger creates Muriel to represent materialism and superficiality and on the other hand, he creates Sybil to provide justification
of the child–like innocence rarely found in society. Salinger?s main character, Seymour, is aware of the superficiality expressed in Muriel?s world
and chooses not to be apart of it. Seymour wants to be a part of the simple immaterial world that Sybil represents. Nevertheless, Seymour find himself
trapped between two worlds unable to regain the one he desires. Therefore, Salinger bases ?A Perfect Day for Bananafish? on Seymour?s...show more
content...
For instance, when referring to how many tigers ran around the tree Sybil commented ?Only six!?(14), similarly when asked how many bananas the
banana fish were eating she exclaimed ?Six!?(16). Firstly, Sybil?s use of the number ?six? suggests that she is repeating the phase phrase six figure
but in a simplified manner. Secondly, Sybil?s reference to the phrase six figure depicts her mothers monopolizing influence on her. For instance, the
bathing suit purchased by Sybil?s mother, is composed of adult colors rather than the youthful ?blue? that Seymour expects to see. A similar idea is
expressed by Sybil?s mother when spreading suntan ?oil? on Sybil?s back in a downwards motion. If yellow is then a adult color and symbolizes
materialism, and ?downwards motion? symbolizes oppression then Sybil?s mothers behavior may suggest that she is discouraging her daughter?s naive
behavior and attempting to force her to grow up prematurely. Sybil is most likely unaware of her mother?s influence on her child–like manner and
therefore she will never fully appreciate her present youth until it is lost. In contrast, Seymour is revived by Sybil?s innocence and near the end of
the story ?The young man suddenly picked up one of Sybil?s wet feet, which were drooping over the end of the float, and kissed the arch?(17). In
essence, Seymour was thanking her for verifying to him that life can still be so simple. Seymour knows that if he was not

Perfect Day For Bananafish
At the end of "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," Seymour Glass commits suicide while on vacation in Florida with his wife, Muriel, by shooting
himself in the head while Muriel sleeps on the twin bed next to him. It seems like a crazy thing to do. People would say that only someone with
severe mental problems does something like that. Seymour is a military veteran, a poet, a "Wise Child," and an extremely complicated man. A number
of J.D. Salinger's writings reveal pieces of Seymour's character, including "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters,"
Franny and Zooey," and "Seymour – an Introduction," which I read, hoping to gain more insight on why Seymour does what he does.
First of all, it is important to know that the Salinger often writes about the Glass family; two parents and seven children of which Seymour is the
eldest. Buddy is two years younger. All four of the Salinger pieces that I am focusing on are 'written by' Buddy. Buddy is not physically present in
three out of the four stories – the only one he writes where he is present is "Raise High...show more content...
The one that stands out to me when trying to gain insight into Seymour's viewpoint is "The happiness of being with people. –Kafka" (178). This quote
is significant on many levels: When Seymour commits suicide, he Muriel is with him in the room, although on their vacation they spent very little time
together. She, sewing her clothes and painting her nails, and him, on the beach talking to the little girl, Sybil. Seymour is hesitant to be "with people"
on their wedding day, and his elated unsteadiness seems to be a darker, panicked elation, and he would rather just be happy with Muriel. There is
something about Seymour's constant awareness of happiness that suggests that he is deeply

A Perfect Day in the Ocean
As I watch, the waves from the shore look fun and almost innocent as they crest and then crash over one another. I can taste the salt in they air and
watch little rainbows glisten through the prisms of the ocean's spray. The warm ocean water toward the shore is covered with foam and bubbles from
the rumbling waves as children and their families play in the gritty tan colored sand. I think to myself, "This is perfect".
I make the final preparations on my Yamaha Waverunner. All of the fluid levelscheck full and there is a faint smell of gasoline mixed with the aromas
of salt and fish in the air. I am now ready to brave and jump the mighty ocean waves of South Padre Island!

I navigate my way through the docks until I am in the channel. I can now press the throttle and hang on for a fun ride! While the waves through the
exit channel are only half of the size of the ocean's mighty waves, this gives me time to warm up and get in sync with the powerful 135 horse
powered Waverunner. I am now ready to take on the Gulf of Mexico!
I drive out far enough to stay out of the foamy white surf. Suddenly, the ocean begins to crest around me. As I drive into the waves, I am careful to
only depress the throttle to a maximum of half power. Any more would be foolish and could cause a wipeout. I approach a wave with a perfect peak
and at the ideal time. I gently squeeze the throttle and the loud roar of the engine fills my ears as the power pushes me up to the foamy white crest of
the wave.
In an instant, I am no longer floating on the water, but I am soaring like the beautiful white birds through the misty air. In one brief moment, I look
down and estimate that I am eight to ten feet in the air for a split second before I begin my descent back to the briny waters. In a flash the back end of
the Waverunner sits down into the ocean with the front following in a rocking motion. All around me is a finespray of the salty water. I have landed!

A Perfect Day For A Bananafish Thesis Statement
I was never a huge fan of children. I was never the girl to babysit all of the kids on my block. I was never the girl to spark up a conversation with a
little girl or boy. I am the younger sibling and I have no younger cousins; I was the baby of the family, so I never really had to deal with children
growing up. I never know what to say when I am talking to children because they do not understand the world the same way I do. Up until now, I never
thought of that as a good thing. Seymour, a character from A Perfect Day for a Bananafish, is in a similar situation after returning from war with a
severe case of PTSD. He talks to the children because they do not understand all of the tragedies of the world. Seymour has an easier time

Instead, they helped me decide to change my life to incorporate more of a positive outlook. I volunteer at a doctor's office for people who cannot
afford doctoral care. I read to the children who need to be watched while their parents are seeing the doctor. I was very wary starting out this job
because I thought I was a glorified babysitter. A lot of the children that I have met make me think quite differently. I met a boy named Alexis; he was
about four years old. I sat and read and talked with him for about an hour. Everything that I said to him and everything that he said to me gave him so
much excitement, no matter how basic or common the comment seemed. The fact that I knew someone else with his name gave him so much joy and
lit up his eyes so much that it made me realize the difference between children and adults. Children appreciate the small moments and coincidences in
life as if they were small miracles; adults just brush them off and continue their day allowing now impact. It is the naivety that allows them to think
that the world, and as a result people, are all

My Perfect Day
I have always wanted the opportunity to have a day where I had a choice of whatever I wanted to do, regardless of cost. To me personally, family
time is essential, and all these activities that I would do in my perfect day wouldn't be the same if I didn't have family with me. As the day goes
on, it becomes obvious that this is a very unrealistic day, cost and time wise. The places I would visit, the old friends I get to see again, and even
the great food I would get to eat, make my perfect day truly special. My perfect day would consist of time with old friends and family, but would
also include activities I would probably never get the chance to do in my normal life. The morning would get off to a sizzling start, as I would
wake up to the luscious scent of my dad making the delicious bacon he does every so often, and the already made pancakes stacked as high as a
tower on a plate. As I devour the pancakes, my brother wakes up to his own plate of his favorite breakfast. After the great breakfast, we get in the
car and make our way to North Canton, where we lived just four years ago. We would visit old church friends and some of my best school friends
and teachers. Then, I would speak to the schools about my time there and how much the schools impacted me even when I've been in Ashland. I still
keep in touch with many people from there, but not nearly as many people as I would see on this morning trip. After the good times at the schools
were finished, I would walk down to

My Best Day Essay : My Perfect Day
Have you ever wondered what a perfect day would be like? An everyday routine starts to get annoying and boring, especially if you don't get a day
off. At the moment, my routine is to wake up early, get ready for school, go to school, and after a long day come back home. From the time I get
home which is around two in the afternoon and by the time I go to sleep, it all consists of doing homework. Sometimes I wish I can at least take a day
off and relax, with having no worries. The idea of a perfect day for me should be a day to get rid of stress, and should be an unforgettable day.

In the meantime, while I was waiting for my food to get here I went to the kitchen to wash the dishes that I left in the morning. After my food got
delivered I went back into my bed and started eating my orange chicken with rice. By that time, I was already in the fourth movie, all of a sudden it
was really dark outside, but I was not scared at all, even though I was home alone. Now it was around ten at night and I had finished watching the
Halloween series. I turned my tv off and started playing really loud music on my speaker. I knew it was nighttime and the neighbors might complain,
but at the moment I didn't care about anything. I enjoy listening to depressing songs specially from Coldplay which gets me in the mood to cry. My
eyes began to close so I turned my speaker off as well as the light and I went to sleep. At last, a perfect day for me should be different from any
ordinary day, and should enjoy it like as if it was my last. I see a perfect day as not something outstanding, but more of like a lazy day. This day was
one of the best days I've ever had because it's been forever since I've taken a break. Many people might do something like this on a regular day, but for
me it was one of the days where I got to stay in bed, relax, and let all of the stress out. Days like this doesn't hurt and everyone has their own ideal day,

"I am a freaking good looking 14 year old!" I stated to myself, hurrying out of the bathroom and straight to my bedroom to grab my school supplies. I

the front door, hugged my mom and headed to school.
I was on a steady pace towards school just like any other day, when suddenly someone jumps onto my back and starts screaming "DAMyen Evans,

with a simple 'Meh' as we walked in silence for the rest of the way. Suddenly, a crooked villain landed right in front of Sam and I, taking hold of
Sam with his enormous hands. Stricken with fear, my legs and knees crumbled and I smashed into the ground. I didn't know who the villain was or
what his intentions were, but I saw that he had a superpower, the power to shrink and enlarge his hands at will. "Everyone listen up! Give me all
your money or the kid get's it!" demanded the villain. Sam had a single tear coming down his left eye, and in a very sudden burst of adrenaline, I
charged over to do something, anything I could do to help. Furiously, I started bashing my fists against the villain's hands, when he abruptly slaps me
with other hand, and I closed my eyes. It felt as if an eternity had passed

Another silent tear falls makes it's way down my face and falls onto my tear stained dress. Once silky and beautiful, now crumpled and wet after all the

The Perfect Summer Day
The sun, blistering and vibrant, beat down on our tiny pigtailed heads. Cement stairs ingraining themselves into our thighs, creating a cross–stitch
pattern. I could hear birds rustling through the trees and I watched as one individual leaf departed from its branch. It, in my mind, was the perfect
summer day.
Abbie and I carried a large, stretched beyond capacity, plastic grocery bag onto my front steps. Inside held pallet after pallet of drugstore makeup, all
of which we had compiled from our mother's unused vanities.
After surveying everything we had, we sat down and began to create our masterpieces. My makeover was first. Abbie started with a gentle stroke of
some orange, creamy stuff, which I now know as foundation, and transitioned into obscure lines and violent colors of lipstick. I looked clown like,
bright pink cheeks and frightening eyeshadow covered my face.
Abbie's makeover followed, hers turning out almost as bad as mine. Strewn about colors, and caked on powders smeared across her face. We looked at
each other horrified with the final product, Abbie belting out that obnoxious laugh everyone had known her for, nearly knocking me off the steps in the
process. Tears streamed through our freshly done makeup, making our makeup appear like battle wounds.
Over the years, this memory seemed to become fainter to me, and our friendship seemed to vanish. The occasional hangouts and Hannah Montana
marathons continued, but nothing that quite compared to our laughter
