Hemingway's stories

All the Hemingaw stories we have read we found common elements. The idea of loneliness and depressions related to this loneliness are very often, many characters are old and lonely,have no family..we can se this in "A clean,well lighted place" for example.The old man stays drinking at the bar beacuse of his loneliness,and the idea of light is related to life,as dark is related to death.In " Old man at the bridge" the old man is also lonely and depressed,and his situation can be easily compared with the man at the bar.
Hemingway's "nada" concept is aleways present to.We always find a character who is not afraid of dead, and who is a real man,with dignity and honor.Like Wilson,in "The short,happy life of Francis Macombre",he was a real true man,who had no fear to death and faced danger when he hunted.When Macomber lost his fear,he could hunt succesfully and become a real man too..but this didn't lasted much as he was shoted be his wife,but he died happy and as a real man at least.

Blink 182 - Going Away To College

Please take me by the hand
It's so cold out tonight
I'll put blankets on the bed
I won't turn out the light
Just don't forget to think about me
And I won't forget you
I'll write you once a week she said

Why does it feel the same
To fall in love or break it off
And if young love is just a game
Then I must have missed the kick-off
Don't depend on me to ever follow through on anything
But I'd go through hell for you and

I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful to me

I'll think about the times
She kissed me after class
And she put up with my friends
I acted like an ass
I'd ditch my lecture to watch the girls play soccer
Is my picture still hanging in her locker?

I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful to me
