Mr Feldstein English 12 due Wednesday

Read the story again – slowly and carefully.

Answer the following questions in an essay form (neat no scribbles; please write thoughtfully using thoughtful, well composed sentences.)

What do you think is the symbolism of the bananfish, their eating and being stuck and their subsequent death?

What do you think causes Seymour to commit suicide? Was it a spur of the moment decision? Was it something he had planned? Was it something Sybil said? Any theory you have is valid.

You must provide evidence from the story for your theory. In other words, describe the basis for why you’re saying what you’re saying. Is there something in the dialogue that hints to your theory, is it something about the character? Be descriptive.
