        <description><![CDATA[When selecting narrative point of view, a writer has many choices: first, second, or third person, and within third person, omniscient, third-person discerning, third-person limited, and third-person objective.

        <description><![CDATA[To me it represents Seymour itself, the bananafish is an ordinary looking one but with a tragic live, seymour is of that kind, affected strongly and differently by war than ordinary people reacts tragicgly killing himself, the reference of blue denotes calm, its almost a filosophical decition. The references of sexual nature are there as in any human being, but a sensityve nature as the writers one wouldnt give them a role except a satirical...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[See more glass appeares in the second section of the story after hearing Muriel and her mother gossip about Seymour and his possible insanity.  When Salinger says see more glass he is directly refering to Seymour himself and is telling us not to be so quick to judge Seymour because all we have heard about him is only gossip from two women who adore and hold material objects higher than people.  He gives us hints that they are women not to be...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The banana fish is an imaginary species of fish. According to Seymour, the banana fish is just an average looking fish that is doomed to live a life that ends in tragedy. The previously normal fish swims through the banana hole, and contract banana fever from gorging themselves on too many bananas and eventually die.It can be seen that the tale of the banana fish is symbolic of human beings whose downfall occurs when they consume or...]]></description>
