Loneliness
Loneliness is found in many different people all around the world; loneliness could mean that you have no one to talk to you or just no one to care for you. This phenomenal short story “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” by, Ernest Hemingway teaches the reader about the true meaning of loneliness.
When you share a connection with somebody you might understand that person’s situation more. The young waiter seems like he has his life in order, he has a wife and people to care for him. I think that is why he reacted to The Old Man’s situation differently than the young waiter did and wanted to close the bar up because he has never felt that loneliness or that feeling that you have nowhere to go. The Old Waiter was sticking up for the old man because he had been lonely before, he knew that The Old Man was going through a rough time. In my life I have felt that terrible feeling that nobody cares for you; in sixth grade I was not getting the best grades in school so all it seemed like to me was my family would just yell at me. I felt as if I had no one to turn to to make me feel better; which is how I can relate to the old man because the old man had to go home to nobody and did not have anyone to help him in his rough times.
Caring for somebody and understanding them when they are alone makes a big difference too. The young old waiter was sticking up for the old man when the young waiter was saying mean things about him because he can relate to that lonely feeling. When I was outside playing football the other day I saw a kid getting made fun of, I helped the kid out when everybody was just watching, I did that because I have been bullied before and I know how it feels so I understood that the kid did not like it. The one that was bullying him probably had never felt that feeling of shame because he had never been bullied. I n that situation I was a lot similar to the older waiter in the way that I stuck up for the one who was in the bad situation because I knew what that felt like.
If you are looking for a book with moral lessons you’ve found one; because in this short story Loneliness is really stretched out to its limits. This short story can also relate to everyday life in many ways, so I think that Earnest Hemingway did a good job on describing the perspective of the a lonely man.

Patriotism

Patriotism can be doing something for our country or devoting something to our country, it could also mean that you are just an American citizen. when i think of patriotism the first thing that comes to my mind is an American flag, and the patriots logo. I think that patriotism still maters because patriotism is like pride, which is good because pride means your supporting something, and that something is America. i also think about all of the people who lost their lives in war for what we take for granite, like freedom of speech, the right to say what we think. in other country's i think about the dictators and the war, i think about all the people that would be much better of living here. and our patriotism is what keeps our country going and keeping hope.

थे बॉडी इन हेन्र्य्स हाउस

The body in Henry's House is a romance because of the path that it follows with the main characters pretending that everything is great and that they have a normal life when it really is not all that normal. They also have a mild conflict about where they are going to put the body. At the end the grand children are curious as to what happened to the body so they had a conflict about how the body got locked up in this suitcase. I can relate this to my everyday life because when i find money on the laundry room floor in my house i sometimes take it. when my parents find the money they are curious as to where i got it from. i also think that this story is a utopia because they act like it is a perfect world when it really is not. nobody would just ignore a dead body in the house and act like nothing is going on. so that is why i think that is a utopia.
