Hemmingway Character review

Two men are sitting in a corner of a café talking and watching an old man drink at the counter. The café is a nice small place in a small town. The café is clean and well lighted and it sits in the shadows of the leaves of the trees. The two men sit and talk when the man asks for another drink. They know he has drunken too much. The two men start talking again about each other this time. As they talk they find out that they are more different then they realize. Each lacks what the other has in "A Well Lighted Place" by Ernest Hemmingway. Each waiter has the same job, but everything else is different.

The older waiter is a very relaxed man who is patient and understands the world around him. He lives alone and cares about others more than himself. This is shown when the he doesn't mind staying in the café late and stays with the old man because he understands him. He has no one to go home to, so he is very lonely and doesn't mind staying because he has company. This state of loneliness really separates him from others because most people have friends and family to go home to or to see. When the older waiter goes home; he has no one.

While the older waiter is wiser and more experience with life the younger waiter thinks that money is happiness and that he is the most important man. He believes that he shouldn't have his time wasted by sitting in the café watching the old man drink. He wonders why the old man drinks and isn't happy because he has a lot of money. The fact that he believes that money is happiness and how everything is about him makes a selfish and stubborn man.

All and all the waiters are very different. They have almost everything in their life different. Does this affect their relationship? How is their view of life different? They look at everything different and have a different felling about many things thus making them look downward upon each other not understanding each other.

One More Day..(Not yet Completed, but feel free to read and give feedback)

Sven-German boy imprisoned for standing up against Hitler back in world war II.

It is day 1254. Imprisoned for life. It has been a lonely life. All your mates wantt nothing to do with you and you want the same. Staying in a small confined room bout 6 ft by 7 most of the day. Give or take some inches figuring I know not how long a foot is; just an estimation. The rest of the day is for meals or for hard, back-breaking labor and yes I mean that literally. Aside from the usual fights and other exciting stuff that happens around here it does get dull, after a long time, but that's the least of my worries. Ya, today is Tuesday and the executioner works on Tuesdays.

Вадим(Vadim)-Russian boy training to become soldier.

6 hundred hours. Finally I got to sleep in. Usually get up around 4 hundred hours if I am lucky. You think they might take it easy on poor farmer boy. Well think again! Da military is not all fun 'n games. In this world you never rely on chance to get you anywhere. It is 615 hours; time for training. Today should be fun. For later we go to Germany.

Oranjinho-Brazilian Farmer

It is May 4th 1950. Cinco years after the second great war. It is a nice spring day perfect for farming. Been up for tres hours so far and barley have half the field seeded. Father will be angry if the field isn't seeded by the time he gets back from the market. He can be very irritated if morning work isn't done. There is a plane coming this way, but planes don't fly over this part of Brazil and it is coming rápido and low. De ninguna manera!! It just decimated my neighbors farm. This isn't good. I have to get the the bunker before the next plane strikes! Why is this happening again!

~~Breaking News, an attack from an unknown source just struck a remote part of Brazil. It is said to be part of an unknown terrorist attack, but no one knows for sure. Tune in later for for an updated report.~~

~Attention passengers we shall be arriving in Germany in 30 minutes please return everything to the upright positions.~

It has been 3 hours on this plane from Russia and we will finally arrive in Germany.
"Hey Vadim are das ready for advanced training" said a fellow soldier.
"As if I wasn't ready Sergeant" The plane shuck with mighty force. We looked around at each to see if anyone had a clue what was going on.~~Attention we have been hit! Return everything to upright position NOW and brace for impact in T minus 10,9,8.~~ A large explosion drew everyone's attention to the matter at hand. ~~We have lost another engine! BRACE FOR IMPACT!!!!~~

Day 1254, it finally night and time to sleep. The executioner didn't get to me today. I get a nice view of the sky at night. What is cool is that meteor in he sky.
"Attention all you prisoners" said someone over the intercom. "There is an unidentified object falling towards towards he prison and will hit in about 5 min. So get to the basement NOW!!"
We all rushed out of our cells towards the small and cramped thing they call a basement. So that wasn't a meteor after all. Of course my cell is the one on the opposite side of the prison. I wasn't going to make it even if I ran all the way, so I just waited in my cell. I watched as the plane came hurtling down towards us. I wanted to see where it would crash, so I could know if I was going to die today. After a minute I found the path of the decent and of course it was going to soar right above my cell, but it would crash in the area of the "basement". I waited for about another 2 minutes and then the plane soared over me. I saw a flag on the side. It was Russian. Just then the plane hit the ground and exploded. It sent metal and debris flying everywhere. The shock wave from the crash hit my cell and sent everything flying including me. I hit the ground and passed out
