"A very short response"_sorry, Nathan!

     If I read this story three or four years ago, I might be unpleasant what Luz and her boyfriend did. It is always hard to accept that all kind of love can be changed even if somebody goes through many experiences of love. I'm not sure what message Ernest Hemingway wants to show us through the story; however, I can see it is not only a created story, but also a story based on his experiences. I don't want to be critical about those two main charaters because we never know what we are going to do unless we place the same situation as them. Things change. People, including me, want things they love not to change, but I think change is very natural like seasons change. The matter depends on how fast people accept changes that can happen to them. Like the title of the song "Too much love will kill you", Luz and her boyfriend seems to be killed by their too much love. However, what can we do if we cannot stop being stupid because someboday breaks our hearts? I think there is no answer. We should figure it out by ourselves no matter how stupid our reacations are. Nevertheless, I don't think the way Luz and her boyfriend get over the pain for their broken relationship is wrong or silly: it is definately one of many ways of overcoming harsh situations.

  1. Jesus said, "Judge not, lest you be judged," and your response is true that statement. Although I am no longer religious, I still think Jesus's statement a good one. I also enjoyed reading your meditative post on this story. Well done!

  2. Oh my goodness: a typo! I should have written, "...and your response is true *to* that statement...." Apologies!
