Many who read Ernest Hemingway’s novel, The Sun also Rises, will feel some form of sympathy for the main character as I did. The Sun Also Rises is a post war novel that follows a group of people affected by the First World War. The Narrator and main character is Jake Barnes. As the story goes on we learn details about Jake such as the fact that he is impotent and that he once loved Brett. Jake was the character I sympathized the most for because his participation in World War I caused him to become impotent, he loves Brett but everyone else does as well and he gradually loses his best friend as the novel goes on.

Both Tom and Myrtle's morals are sacrificed because both parties proceed with the affair despite knowing about each other’s spouse. Tom’s American Dream includes the power to have two women at once, while Myrtle’s American Dream involves sacrificing her morals to gain a higher social standing through her new association with Tom. Nick’s inability to identify the cause of his discomfort at the adulterous relationship foreshadows his exploration and further understanding of the

The book of Proverbs states “In their heart humans plan their course, but the Lord directs their steps.” (Proverbs 16:9) For a lot of us, we notice the first part, and leave out the ending. Any typical girl plans her wedding at age five, designs her dream house before she can draw, and decides to chase after a career without knowing what degree is needed. We hear fairytales and bedtime stories that make us want to dream bigger and expect more. Most of the time, our “happily ever after” isn’t that we pictured. Like most stubborn females, I thought I could determine what was best for my life. But little did I know, God’s plans are far greater than what I could ever imagine.

Jake Barnes represents the best of the lost generation. In Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, Jake Barnes must live with the being a part of the lost generation, learn to live with his wounds from the war, and learn to overcome his difficulties with Brett Ashley.

Hemingway’s typical Flapper character, Lady Brett Ashley is an independent, charming, strong woman who cuts her hair short and has an almost magical power over all male characters in the novel. The Sun Also Rises seems to be an endless hedonistic party. They do nothing but indulge in alcohol, sex, food, bullfighting, siestas. Life is sheer bliss. However, nobody seems to be happy. Brett has been a nurse on the Italian front and the war took the life of her first love. It is hard to even imagine what kind of scenes she was exposed to every single day on the battlefield. The war and the formation of her character must be connected:

Public health officials should have a greater understanding about how socioenomic class and race can affect someone’s health. The individuals from disadvantage groups have a responsibility to make healthy lifestyle choices within their means. Another thing they could do is gather and work together similar to what happened in the city of Louisville since they are training citizens to “take political action and design policies that address the health of their community.” However, I believe that public health officials and the government should try to understand that stressors from discrimination and their socioeconomic status negatively affect their health. Discrimination, lack of opportunities, harassment, and racism can seriously affect a person’s health. According to the article, people who experience discrimination due to race, gender, socioeconomic status, etc suffer from “poor health, chronic health conditions, high blood pressure,

Calvin Onyemaechi & Frank Nguyen Mrs. Fajardo AP Literature October 22, 2015 The Sun Also Rises: Brett’s Alienation in Society - (1995) In Ernest Hemingway’s novel, The Sun Also Rises, it portrays Brett Ashley as an independent woman who asserts and firmly stays true to herself. The novel portrays Brett as a well-minded, liberated woman, a dangerous corrupting force for men. A sight for sore eyes for the men she comes across in the novel.

Ashley took a long time to open up to people. Some people may think, why is it so hard for her to open up to others? All you had to do is start up a conversation. Why does she shut herself out of the real world? The reason why Ashley had such a hard time opening up to others was because she was abused. Her foster parents put it into her mind that she shouldn’t speak about what she was going through or else she would be punished. One time the Moss’s had some inspectors come by the house. She told the kids to put on a show to make it look like a great foster home, “ Surely Mrs. Moss would punish me if she thought I was ruining her little show” (Rhodes-Courter 92). Mrs. Moss chose to have the children sing, You are my Sunshine after she heard Ashley sing it to one of the younger kids to cheer her up. By doing so, she struck a chord in Ashley because that song was Ashley’s mother and her song. That song was the song that tied happiness to her relationship with her mother. That moment symbolized the loss of hope Ashley had to be taken out of the foster home. Another reason some people may not agree that Ashley Rhodes-Courter is successful is because, after living with her adoptive family for a few months, Ashley drugged her parents. No kid should drug their parents, it’s wrong. Even if the child is mad or finds it amusing they shouldn’t do it, because it’s not ethical. The reason why Ashley had the audacity to drug her parents was because she was peer pressured into doing so. She was friends with a girl named, Brooke. Brooke wasn’t a great influence on Ashley, Brooke was that child that liked to do the wrong things. She once had Ashley wait 30 minutes after a movie was finished so she could make out with her boyfriend, “When I dragged Brooke outside, Gay- who had been waiting for more than a half hour- was seething” (Rhodes-Courter 242). Brooke wanted to hang out with her boyfriend, but her

Ernest Hemingway, author of The Sun Also Rises uses a variety of settings in order to show various characters attitudes regarding life, which in turn exemplifies their stance as a lost generation. The main character; Jake, amongst other characters, suffers drastic changes in life which affect his overall outlook. After the world war all of the characters now view the world as a dark place filled with fleeting happiness, which shows how they are a lost generation. By writing of cities such as Paris, Burguete, and Madrid, Hemingway shows how characters like Jake, Brett, Frances, and Georgette view the world.

We are introduced to Jake at the very beginning of the novel and later on in the novel we meet Lady Brett. Lady Brett is a spontaneous self-conceited woman who lives her life they way she wants: drinking, partying, and not settling down. Jacob Barnes is a noble self made man who is madly in love with Brett. The twist is Brett loves Jake as well, but they can never be together. Throughout the novel Jake is always there for Brett anytime she needs him because he can't help but love her unconditionally. Brett even tells Jake about her marrying Mike and he finds out about her time with Cohn; yet, he is still always by her side and never gives up. In the novel, Brett is with a few different men (none of them Jake) and every man she ended up with left except for Jake. Jake even goes as far as to set up the one he loves on new dates with other men. Jake may act like he is fine with it but really he hates it. He hates that he loves Brett, and Brett hates that she can never be with Jake. They are both miserable when they are with each others and miserable when they are

Biblically, we see many instances of God’s plan for each life and the ways that plan is carried out. Similarly, I have found that, while it may not align with my plan, God has my story written in order to glorify Himself and bring about His kingdom. I consistently rely on prayer to provide guidance in my decision making process and feel much more grounded when I choose to listen to His calling rather than my own. Revelation 3:8 (NIV) tells us that He alone has the power to open and close doors. I assess this as a means of guidance from Him. I look for opportunities and try to walk away from those things that are not fruitful. In this way, I take my cues from Him through prayer, inner peace and external signs. I believe in and have experienced divine intervention and direction.

The events depicted in The Sun Also Rises were drawn from the personal life experiences of its author, Ernest Hemingway. Specifically the life experiences of one of his central characters, Jake Barnes, and how he was modeled after the events in Hemingway’s life. Throughout the novel, The Sun Also Rises, the characters experience heartbreak, and when emotionally involved life becomes hard. Their experiences really reflected what was going on with Hemingway’s life at the time and the struggles he was going through. Hemingway’s writings related to many young men because he discussed war and love. Hemingway was the most famous representative for the “lost generation” (Pidgeon). Through his life experiences and the way he wrote the characters life
