The Sun Also Rises: A Review
[I cannot express to you how glad I am that I am taking this class. I am
thoroughly enjoying Hemingway. The Sun Also Rises is one of the best books I've
read in quite a long time. For a while there, I was, for God knows what reason,
taking Physics and Chemistry and Biology. It is really an adventure to be back
with books and words and reading. I am also amazed that I never could read more
of Him when it wasn't an assignment. And how is it that when I am told to write
"a 3-5 page essay" I can only come through with two-and-a-half, but a "one-page
response" always wants to be twenty pages long?]
I finished reading SAR around ten o’clock tonight. I could have taken it all in
one big gulp when I began a week ago, but I couldn’t do that. It wanted me to

attention to itself. I wasn’t particularly bothered by His not telling me who
said what, but it was very…pointed. I first noticed around the hundredth page
or so. Then I realized I couldn’t keep track of who was speaking. By not
dwelling on it, though, sort of (hate to say this) accepting it, I managed to
assign speech to whomever I felt was speaking. Gradually I came to enjoy it, in
another plane of reading, figuring out from whom words were originating. To not
notice it, as if it were one of those annoying 3-D posters that you can’t see
until you make a concerted effort not to try and see, became simple – much like
those 3-D pictures are once you know what not to look for. (I abhor ending
