So I was in mid anxiety attack because I couldn’t understand this story and I had a deadline, and then like an angel you came upon my feed and save me so thank you very much 😊
I'm so happy that this helped you! Hemingway is tough because his dialogue can be cryptic. He uses "sub-text," which means that the characters imply a lot rather than saying things directly. The reader has to infer and "hear" what they are REALLY saying by "reading between the lines." A challenge! I wish I had a video on "A Clean, Well-lighted Place" for you. That's a good suggestion for the next one! Thanks.
omg!! thank you so much.!! I am an international student In ELAC. I read the story 3 times!! Can't figure out what the hell they were talking about... When the professor asked me what they are talking about, I answered "tattoo" . Worst day of my life
I love you!! You explain things so clearly. Never stop doing these videos! Because I can truly say that your videos help so many people have a better understanding of these complicated stories.
It actually was like a whole novel in a short story. I like the theme, the simpliciity of Hemingway, and especially your walking us through it to see the different layers of it. Thank yoU !
Yes, I agree! The train station definitely represents a transition for both of them! I guess the man thinks that other people in the station were waiting "reasonably", because unlike the other people are all heading to whatever amazing journey, their relationship will probably end up afterwards..
I always search for your videos after reading assignments for my English class! You clear things up for me greatly! Thank you for your time and knowledge!
Very well stated. I have read and studied this story continually since high school and you elaborated beautifully upon the characters' psychology, which of course is the meat of the story itself. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I just finished reading it and was completely confused, but it’s very clear now. I’m going to read it again and see everything fall in to place. Thanks 🙏🏼
Oh my gosh! This was so helpful. Thank you so much. It can be so hard for me to see all the symbolic meaning in a short story such as this. Thank you! This makes my comprehension a lot easier!
I already had many of these points in mind, but your insight and delivery is really going to help me out on my in-class presentation; thank you, prof!!
I really liked what you said about them being at a train station, and that's a place where you stop and move on. I didn't see it like that, too bad I already submitted my paper like a week ago, that would have really made a point. Cool video! Have a good one and post more! :)
Thank you so much for this video. The first time I read through this I honestly had no idea what was going on but you made it so clear and concise. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for making your videos! Every story iv had to read for my English class you have done a explanation about and it has truly helped me!!
I read this story twice and tried to figure out if I was missing something. I was, I missed the whole thing. First I thought it was about them drinking absinthe, then I re read and found something about an operation, thinking maybe breast implants, or something, but it wasn't an option when this story was written. So I Googled around a bit and found this video and it cleared it up completely. Thanks!
Yes! I think you're spot on. It's her decision, but he's clearly pushing for having it done. He wants to appear reasonable, but this couple is not ready to become a family.
I just found your videos and I'm truly thankful you've taken the time to make them. I have such trouble understanding Hemingway and had drawn my own conclusion, but watching this made it so clear. :D Sometimes it just takes another's thoughts to make it all clear. :) I also watched your video over Everyday Use by Alice Walker. You did wonderful on it. After watching and then reading it once again it all clicked! :) Thank you and I'm suggesting your videos to my friend. :)
Thank you so much for making this video. I read the story several times to find out the meaning of the word 'operation', but poor me I did not find. Now I got it. operation - abortion.
Professor, this is what I thought it was, but she was more political than I was in my thoughts, but the same ending. It was very good video and thank you. A great way to do the lesson.
Hello can you please help me with a question my professor asked me to answer but I'm so confused "in what two or three ways does the American prove how dumb he is ?"
Thanks a lot! This really helped me with my studies. When I first read the story I kind of expected the operation to be an abortion, but I wasn't sure. Thanks again. Love from Sweden.
oh God, this is what I was looking for. thank you so much for such an amazing analysis, cuz when I read the story, I couldn't get the idea in that clear way. thanks again and I wish you the best of the best, and keep going with benefit the people and God will surely reward you since you are giving nice and useful information... I will keep watching your video.. :)
Are there other stories that take this kind of 3rd person objective (for lack of a better description) format? I keep searching, but this is the only one that keeps coming up.
+SixMinuteScholar hello my professor asked me a question "in what two or three ways does the American prove how dumb he is ?" But I am so confused may you please help me
It’s crazy that even 8 years later your video is helping people.
