Franny and Zooey 122-170

So Zooey has now left the bathroom and his little chat with his crazy mother is finally over! He enters the living room and discovers Franny sleeping on the couch, he wakes her. Once Franny is awake Zooey tells her about the script he was given and the job offer in France. Zooey seems to resent acting, I feel like he always feels like he has to put on a show. He mentions how Franny and him are messed up because of the one show or something they were on when they where little. Franny seems to feel the same way and relates with Zooey when it comes to acting. She also talks about treasure and how everything is treasure such as gold all the way to knowledge.You can tell that both of the characters are missing their older brother Seymour but they barely talk about anything having to do with him. Except once Franny mentions how much she misses him. A cat lays by Franny the whole time they are talking. She says he has clung to her since she came home. Franny seems to be Ill or mentally shook up while reading the book the author mentions how pale she looks to Zooey.

Well the funny thing about this book has to do with how the characters stay in the same spot for along period of time. A scene could take place for thirty pages and no I;m not kidding you. My last reading consisted of Zooey talking to Franny who was laying on the couch. Yep just talking about their messed up lives.
