A Perfect Day for Bananafish

When I read "A Perfect Day for Bananafish", the first character that I was looking for was someone that compared to Holden. The young man, who I think is Seymour, is the one who is most like Holden. The way he interacts with Sybil reminds me of how he is with Phoebe, and how he saw talked also reminded me of Holden in a way. Muriel also reminds me a little of Holden because she is always complaining, like Holden is. Otherwise, she reminds me a little of Sally, how girly she is and all. Sybil reminds me of Phoebe, seeming to know and care about what her elders are talking about. She has a kind heart, and has knowledge above her age. But a way that she is different from Phoebe, is that when you ask to change the subject she will, unlike Phoebe. She doesn't get sore at you for absurd reasons, nor does she argue with you.
