The last remark in the novel is very important in making us see how Jake ultimately betrays himself. He says "yes I said isn't it pretty to think so?"

By 1961, 88% of the United States' households had two sets which were in use for an average of 5 hours a day. Television ... the main question is: have they been a good influence or a bad influence? People watch television to find out what is happening in the world and to entertain themselves. A great number of American's have abandoned many things for television. Newspapers are an example of that. But crime shows and sitcoms along with porno trash are rampant. As we sit in front of the set, eating potato chips, gaining weight, and filling our minds with trash, we don't stop to think of all that we could be doing to change our world. If we spent just a fraction of the time that we spend watching television each day doing something for someone ...

- 24045: Spanish Conquistadors: Heroes or Murderers
- ... god. The Spanish conquistadors raped the American natives of their naiveness. The Spanish conquistadors took away the Indians right to their way of life and their land. Living in the United States of America, it's hard to imagine a group of people coming into our country, and taking our land. But this event has already happened, almost 500 years ago. The people who dominated the United States before the Spanish ... of millions of Indians living in the Americas. These ideas are hard to imagine, people coming and taking your house, your way of life, and making you work until you die. And if they couldn't didn't die then they would most probably die of a foreign disease. In my idea there is no parallel to this monumental mass murder. 95% of the population was depleted.

- 24046: Duino Elegies- Life Or Death
- ... the land of the living or the dead. the hero survives. Even his ruin is only another excuse to continue a final birth. But nature, exhausted takes lovers back into herself as if she couldn't accomplish that kind of vitality twice.(Duino Elegies) But he respects death and sometimes he is defensive of the dead to make it seem as if he were almost jealous of their plight. It's very hard to be dead And you try To make up for the lost time Till slowly you start to get wiffs of eternity But the living are wrong In the sharp distinctions they make ... earthly existence. He at times mockingly expresses how death will come and resolve difficulties, making all satisfactory. I do not whether Rilke falls into the second or the third category of the living.

- 24048: The Sun Also Rises: Liberal Use of Dialogue by Hemingway
- ... the dialogue was the only thing that moved the reader through the book. Hemingway used so much dialogue that it was difficult at times to follow who was saying what, but I believe this didn't matter because any of the characters, except for maybe Jake, could have been carrying on those conversations. I say anyone except Jake because he was different than all the other characters in more ways than ... if there was more there than what was just on the page. It was hard, for me, to see more than just the story, but perhaps Hemingway just wanted the reader to experience other people's lives. I say this because many of the experiences that occurred to the characters also took place in Hemingway's life and maybe he just wanted to share with us what it was like.

A quote from my mom: I, Jennifer Hall, believe zoos should ... safe haven provided for them while they reproduce, until they no longer are endangered. Zoos can also protect animals whose ecosystems have been destroyed or have suffered great damage, until they can be restored.

Future generations will not have the opportunity to enjoy the same magnificent animals, unless we ...
