Strength in Reserve (and Periodicals too)

May i first say i am a CNES major, so most the literature i read is ancient literature, anyway here goes:
1)The manager is God. He gives the piano man a smile when he sees all the customers he brings in. Kind of like the God of the church who is happy when you give the church money
2)The waitress is Athena. The greek goddess of war. Seeing that in the last century politics has pretty much only yielded war, this is what has been practiced in politics. Therefore Athena is practicing politics, or War is!
3) Paul (the novelist) is Dean Morierty from 'on the road.' who is also a novelist and likes to drink, however he did marry, yet he didn't seem to have time for her.
4) Davy (in the navy) is Holden Caufield. Holden is not in the Navy, however he is stuck in the same life cycle of failing in college, maybe he should consider joining the Navy.
5) John at the bar is Dionysus. Dionysus turned water into wine about 500 years before Jesus, if he can turn water into wine why not give the piano man drinks for free.
6)Old man making love to his tonic and gin is the man in the linen clothe mentioned in the gospel of Mark. after Jesus' arrest , he is stripped of his clothes (when i wore a younger mans clothes) and left hopeless, so he sits at the bar making love to his tonic and gin and request a sweet song he knew before the arrest of Jesus. (actually in the gospel he's the one to roll away the stone, but lets look pass that)
7) the business man is Jay Gatsby, he is rich and no one knows why, in fact no one really knows him very well at all. He probably has something to hide, like he habitually smokes marijuana at this club in downtown New York where no one knows him!
8) The piano man is... Orpheus. Everyone is coming to hear Jesus (the sweet melody), however it is metaphorical, since Orpheus through song opens the gates of the underworld and raises the spirit of Jesus from the Dead. Jesus is the sweet melody that the man in the linen clothe request, for it is only through this melody (sung by orpheus) that Jesus can be raised from the dead.

Well, I read mostly children's classics so I'm going to assign famous children's authors to them. Here we go:

1)The manager with the smile is JRR Tolkien. He is the father of modern fantasy fiction and his influence makes what fantasy literature is today just like a manager watches over his bar.

2)The waitress practicing politics is JK Rowling. She is trying to stay relevant now that HP7 is done and she uses politics to do that. I mean come on, saying Dumbledore was gay? There was no reason to do that other than for attention.

3)I don't know what a real-estate novelist is, but I do know Paul never had time for a wife, just like JM Barrie, life long bachelor.

4)And Paul was talking to Davy, who was still in the Navy and probably would be for life. Davy is A.A. Milne who happened to be JM Barrie's friend as well as a captain in the British Army.

5)John at the bar is quick with a joke, but there's someplace that he'd rather be. John is Aesop. He created a collection of well-intentioned helpful fables, but was in reality living as a slave. I'm sure there was some place that he'd rather have been.

6)The old man making love to his tonic and gin is none other than Lewis Carroll. If you've ever read Alice in Wonderland you know he not only liked his booze, but perhaps some recreational drugs as well?

7)Hans Christian Andersen is one of the businessmen. He was a well off enough man, but was probably lonely seeing as he never got married and people thought he was a bore in person. He once said his autobiography was the Ugly Duckling. I bet at the bars he shared a drink called loneliness.

8)And, drum roll please, the Piano Man is... The Borthers Grimm! He sings about his interpretation of a collecion of people he sees around him and the Brothers Grimm just compile and interpret different fairy tales they hear around them.

With the exception of one character i went with classic lit.

Manager- George Orwell. Manager has very 1984, Big Brother is watching you vibe with his smile.
Waitress- Ann Coulter. There's a reason she is still practicing politics. Couldn't resist it. :)
Paul- Edgar Allan Poe. Fall of the House of Usher, perfect title of a story by a real-estate novelist.
Davy- Herman Melville. The guy liked the water, one of his first jobs was as a cabin boy.
John- John Steinbeck. Was a screenwriter and was in one film.
Old Man- Ernst Hemingway. Old Man and the Sea, such a easy fit.
Businessmen- Lewis Carroll. Mad Hatter's Tea Party is the only way i could think of to explain more than one business man.
Piano Man- William Shakespeare. Everyone is coming to see him to forget for a while, just the reason Shakespeare's plays were so popular in Elizabethan England.
