In the novel The Sun Also Rises, written by Ernest Hemingway the
main character makes a decision to introduce the woman he loves
to a young bull fighter. Jake makes this decision very much
against the will of his friends, but in doing so he pleases
Brett. Jake does this because he is unconditionally committed to
Brett, and is willing to do whatever necessary to bring her
happiness, even if it is only temporary.
Jake's first reaction to the news that Brett is interested in
meeting and spending time with Romero is one of negativity. He
learns of this from he friend Montoya and tells him "Don't give
him the Message" (176). He did not think that it would be a good
idea for Brett to have anything to do Romero, and did not want
him to receive the message that invited him to have coffee with
their group. At this point it is clear that Jake does not approve
of this proposed encounter. His later decision to introduce them
supports the idea that Jake is unconditionally devoted to Brett,
and her happiness.
The introduction was a very strange one. It was not as if Jake
went out of his way for it to happen. It was much more the will
of Brett. She raved on and on about Romero and insisted to Jake
that they go and find him. Jake did not fight her on this issue,
but he certainly did not provoke it. Jake was more of a stooge
for Brett. She would have had her way even if Jake had not
helped her. She uses her feminine charm, and there is, little
that Jake can say. At one point she says “Oh, darling, please
stay by me. Please stay by me and see me through this”(188).
Jake is to wrapped around her finger to refuse.
There is no question in Jake¹s mind that he will be losing
Montoya as a friend and also the respect that others had once
held for him, yet he choose Brett over these losses.
Imagine trying to lead a slave army to fight for the freedom of slaves.You think that would be something heroic, yet, someone got the death sentence by doing so.Although most readers of U.S history have argued that John Brown was courageous,closer examination shows that he was given the death sentence, and charged for treason ,murder,and used conspiracy to lead a slave army, but was therefore a martyr.

During the 16th century in England, Queen Mary was the monarch in power. She was also known as "Bloody Mary." Queen Mary was a Catholic. She had attempted to get rid of all the Protestants in the kingdom through executions and harassment; therefore, the nickname "Bloody Mary" (Greatsite). Elizabeth, Mary's sister, was a Protestant who was imprisoned by the Queen for her beliefs (Greatsite). Queen Mary died of a unknown disease and when this happened, Elizabeth was next in line for the throne. When Elizabeth assumed the throne of England, she forced the Catholics to pledge loyalty to the Church of England. King Phillip II of Spain did not like Elizabeth's stand in opposition to Catholicism, so he responded by creating the Spanish Armada. This was a fleet of Spanish ships that first sailed in 1588 (Trueman). The Spanish Armada was created to overthrow Queen Elizabeth and the English empire. However, this attempt to overthrow Queen Elizabeth was thwarted by Francis Drake (Trueman).

Ernest Hemingway was a great American author whom started his career humbly in a newspaper office in Kansas City at the ripe, young age of seventeen. Once the United States joined World War One, Hemingway deemed it fit to join a volunteer ambulance service. During this time Hemingway was wounded, and decorated by the Italian Government for his noble deeds. Once he completely recovered, he made his way back to the United States. Upon his arrival he became a reporter for the American and Canadian newspapers and was sent abroad to cover significant events. For example, he was sent to Europe to cover the Greek revolution. During his early adulthood, Hemingway became a member of the group of expatriate Americans in Paris. This is known as the time in his life in which he describes in two of his novels; A Farewell to Arms and The Sun Also Rises the latter of the two being his first work. Hemingway was able to use his experiences of serving in the front during the war and his experience of being with other expatriates after the war to shape both of these novels. He was able to successful write these novels due to his past experience with working for newspapers. His experience with the newspaper seemed to be far more beneficial than just supplying him with an income, with the reporting experience under his belt he also was able to construct another novel that allowed him to sufficiently describe his experiences reporting during the Civil War; For Whom the Bell Tolls. Arguably his most tremendous short novel was a about an old fisherman’s journey and the long, lonely struggle with a fish and the sea with his victory being in defeat.

Out of the two s...

Throughout the 20th century there were many influential pieces of literature that would not only tell a story or teach a lesson, but also let the reader into the author’s world. Allowing the reader to view both the positives and negatives in an author. Ernest Hemingway was one of these influential authors. Suffering through most of his life due to a disturbingly scarring childhood, he expresses his intense mental and emotional insecurities through subtle metaphors that bluntly show problems with commitment to women and proving his masculinity to others.
