Week #4

I finished Reading, "Raise High the Roof Beam, Capenters."

When the Guests are in the Family room, Buddy finds his brother's Journal. He reads it secretly in his bathroom. He finds that Seymour is slightly disturbed and paranoid (this confirms The Matron of Honer's Accusations.) He is confused. Buddy then slams the book against into the laundry hamper.

When He comes out his guests inform them that the groom has shown up and set everything straight and the wedding will still commence at a later date.

Buddy decides to stay behind, but his guests decide to meet up with the rest of the party. However, when Buddy turns around he is happy and surprized to see the old man didnt leave with the group, because he was unaware of what was going on.

The Most obvious symbol I have noticed so far is the Old deaf man, and how he symolizes comfort within staying consistent or stationary. This idea parallels to the wax museum in "Catcher."

Buddy also has coughing spells when he is nervous or mispleased. This is a kind of alienation. "I had a coughing spell, Which I had no intention of Shotening." This is somewhat similar to Holden's hunting hat, which keeps himself distanced from undesireables, but at the same time sparks insecurity.
