My book is "To have and have not" by Ernest Hemingway. He is by far my
favorite author, he is a bit racist though. He tells the story of Harry Morgan in
this book. It is a dramatic peice of fiction that deals with trhe issue of a mans
choice bettween killing or letting his family starve. He does everything in his
to feed his family. He begins rum-running bettween Cuba and Key West. That
is the reason that his boat gets seized by the Coast Guard. He has this ship mate
who he calls a certian word over and over. It is sad that life is so hard for him.

up with a man called Mr. Sing. He was a chink. He wanted Harry to transport
something for him. He also wants harry to carry some men for him. Harry
agrees and takes the two hundred dollars.
