Thorea II

I think Waldo is an example of irony, because of how much of a hypocrite he is.
I think Henry, Waldo, and Lydian are most important. 
 Henry very into trancsendentilism. No one really gets him, but I think that's because no one listens. He's the main character, and the plot centers around him. 
 Waldo is kind of the opposite of Henry. He's kind of a hypocrite, and is much to talkative and bothersome to get along with Henry.
Lydian doesn't see why Henry and Waldo don't get along. She's conflicted as she tries to choose between them, even though she doesn't have to..
Henry loses, because his taxes get payed and he stayed in jail.

Thoreau

 In this play it mentions Huckleberries. I think these are a symbol that besides the fact that a peaceful man would be locked in jail, there are still worthwhile things in the world. 

A Perfect Day for Bananafish

I think this story was kind of odd, but I could see the connections to Cather in the Rye. I think Seymour was the most like Holden, because the way he interacted with Sybil reminded me of Holden and Phoebe. Sybil reminds me of Phoebe because she seems smart and kind, but less argumentative, and Holden seems like Seymour because he talks the same way and he seemed to love Sybil. Muriel seemed most like Holden to me, probably because of the way she is complaining and doesn't always listen to people.
