A Perfect Day for Bananafish is a short story written by J.D Salinger. There are 3 parts to this story and they are all connected in one way or another. I really like the beginning when the woman is talking to her mother about her husband. It is as if you are eavesdropping on their conversation. The husband in the second scene is portraide as a wierd character that we find out he is from the war and how he gets a little to close with a very young girl. Throughout the second session of the story, you see instances where he would grab the girls’ leg, kiss her foot in water, tell her to come closer to him. She of course does not realize this behaviour is strange and likes his company. After he kisses the girls foot and she answers by asking him what he is doing, he too realizes that what he did was not normal, and in the last part of the story, he takes out a gun and it seems like he is about to kill his wife but he instead shoots himself.
