Hemingway vs. Percy's character

Binx and Adams share a desire to get away from the norm of life. Nick seeks out nature and seclusion to cope with his insecurities with life. Binx uses movies to find the same sense of seclusion and to forget the rest of the world exists. Binx and Adams both suffered traumatic war experiences which they both do their best not to remember. Nick and Binx both have no friends outside their family (Binx has Sharon but she's barely a friend). They are both loners searching for purpose in their life.
