We have just finished discussing it in my composition class, and I now
wonder aloud what Paul and others might make of the awkward but
delicious link between a chicken sandwich and an easter chick.

I don't have too much to add to what I wrote before, which summarily was
that the chicken sandwich represented a communion wafer, (body of christ,
body of easter chick), and the communion that was just shared between two
human beings. The easter chick and the three days I see as an allusion to
christ.The waste basket with the razors in it that cut Franklin and the
waste basket with the easter chick I see as a symbol of our culture. The
waste basket is also used as a symbol for our culture in For Esme when
Sergeant X throws his brother's letter in it, the one requesting war
mementos for his kids, and then vomits in it.
Well thats my take anyway.
Paul
