A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, Book I

For my literature class we are reading the book A Farewell to Arms. We finished reading Book I on Tuesday,and I now feel complied to tell all you about this book.

In my opinion, the book was choppy and awkward as well as fast paced and vague. Unless you can look beneath the words and find the inner meaning of the book then you will find the book the same way I did at first. But beneath the words is a deeper meaning of not only racy happenings, but a inner happenings in the characters and their actions. We find Hemingway's Protagonist/Hero qualities and budding romance, as well as war and what it brings. This book is more a biographical book than a novel, seeing as Hemingway wrote from memory at the time when Fredric Henry is wounded while eating macaroni and cheese with their fingers, instead of a Farewell to Arms, the book should be more appropriately be titled with a more personal name. Also, if you read Hemingway for fun? I might call you mad, or psychotic, and i would continue to make fun of you for your bad taste in a good read. Recently, I finished reading the book Wicked after seeing the play on Broadway last year, it is a difficult book to get into as well as the book The Sight, but you need to get into the book before you completely judge it. I guess I'll try to get deeper into the book before I decide whether or not I want to burn it...no offense Perry...
