.... with the crowd and pursuing their own paths. They can either give in to peer pressure or be secure with their own individuality. Gene succumbs to peer pressure the first time he jumps off the limb into the Devon River. Even though he would have rather not done it, he went along with the crowd to fit in. Another example of Gene trying to fit in and be liked is when he ditches school with Finny. Gene never would have considered breaking the rules, but he feared that he would not be accepted by Finny if h .....

A Farewell To Arms
.... to live from now on. At this time, Henry goes off
and finds his wife to be.
The plot in A Farewell to Arms was always active. They were never
staying in one place too long. It had a very good story line, which
was a love story that ended up in a tragedy. The main character's wife
got pregnant and she was off to have her baby when problems started
occurring. They had to have a caesarean, and the baby dies, and when
the mother of the child starts to hemorrhage Henry knows that .....

into your lungs and numbed the edge of your nose as you
inhaled.
The simplicity and the sensory richness flow directly from
Hemingway's and his characters'--beliefs. The punchy, vivid
language has the immediacy of a news bulletin: these are
facts, Hemingway is telling us, and they can't be ignored.
And just as Frederic Henry comes to distrust abstractions
like "patriotism," so does Hemingway distrust them. Instead
he seeks the concret .....

Mortimer: Believe it or not, that was in there too.
Einstein: And What did he do?
Mortimer: He sat down! Mind you - this fellow is supposed to be bright. There he is - all ready to be trussed up. And what do they use to tie him with?
Einstein: What?

their lives. The ability to create characters who play
roles, he says, either to "maintain self-esteem" or to
escape, is one Hemingway exploits extraordinarily well in A
Farewell to Arms and therefore it "is his richest and most
successful handling of human beings trying to come to terms
with their vulnerability."
As far as Stubbs is concerned, Hemingway is quite blatant in
letting us know that role-playing is what is occur .....

more than could be explained in words and Frederick makes it
known that words are not really effective at describing the
flesh and blood details. Their love during an ugly war was
not to be recreated or modeled even as much as through a
baby conceived by their love. The baby could not be born
alive because their love was beautiful yet doomed so that
nothing could come out of it.
Hemingway's language is effective in leaving much to the

He befriends a priest because he admires the fact that the priest
lives his life by a set of values that give him an orderly lifestyle.
Further into the novel, Frederick becomes involved with Catherine

after her sweetheart went away, people hardly saw her at all," (41). Miss Emily might have stayed out of the public eye after

Poe writes this story from the perspective of Montresor who vows revenge against Fortunato in an effort to support his time-honored family motto: "Nemo me impune lacessit" or "No one assails me with impunity." (No one can attack me without being punished.) Poe does not intend for the reader to sympathize with Montresor because Fortunato has wronged him, but rather to judge him. Telling the story from Montresor's point of view, intensifies the effect of moral shock and horror. Once again, .....

Analysis
