are up to four lanes in either direction.
Waiters asking you if everything is ok
"Is everything ok?" is a standard service question in most restaurants. It is necessary to reinforce good customer service standards, but in America, it's
becoming the bugbear of diners. Call it fear of legal action in case everything is not ok, the practice has become quite annoying. Many feel it's
overrated since waiters hardly give them time to actually enjoy the meal and service anyway!
Besides the obvious annoyance, many customers feel that if the question is asked too often, chances are, something is really not quite ok. Sometimes
waiters forget tables they have already served, but customers prefer a greater balance of concern, a measure of privacy. They also want more time to
enjoy the total experience.

It's all about conservation and convenience. The standard head faucet popularly used, helps save Americans as much as 40 % more water per shower.

Weirdly flavoured lattes
Coffee is one of the biggest daily sellers in America. Coffee brewing is now high–tech and flavours are quite classy these days. Lattes are so popular in
America; you can get them almost any which way you want. Even if you are lactose intolerant or health conscious, no problem at all, there's a latte for
you.
Baristas are very innovative with exotic flavoured coffees from places like Ethiopia and Kenya. Lattes cost as much as $6.00 per cup and Americans
drink almost two cups per person per day. As restaurants jostle for market share, you can get your latte with all sorts of ingredients. Chai, ginger, lime,

2. Isolation In A Clean Well Lighted Place
Avoiding Alienation Jules Verne once said "solitude, isolation, are painful things and beyond human endurance" (Verne). It is obvious that within life
isolation may cause a person distress. Despair or depression are huge burdens for individuals, so they often try finding an escape. Most of the
characters within Ernest Hemingway's "A Clean Well–Lighted Place" are surrounded by loneliness, and as a result gravitate towards a person or thing
to provide them comfort. A majority of the characters have gone through many hardships and lost some of the people they cared the most about, so
it is not surprising that they feel despair. The old man within the story allegedly tried to commit suicide because "He was in despair" (Hemingway).
The old waiter working at a cafe empathizes with the old man because he understands that he just wants a place where he can escape his alienation.
There is also a hopeless soldier who is so desperate to escape his despair that he hires a companion. However, throughout all the solidary, there is a
young waiter who seems anything but lonely. The notion of escaping solidarity within "A Clean Well
–Lighted Place," is contrasted by the young man
and portrayed in the old customer, the old waiter, and... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The young man is married and has never been alone so he feels no need for a comfort. On the other hand, the old men and the soldier have gone
through many more hardships and feel a despair so strong that it can only be subsided by a person or place which supplies them with reassurance.
Without a doubt age and experience isolate a person from society, which in turn causes them distress and leads them to find a manner of avoiding their
solidarity. Ultimately, solitude, and isolation can be detrimental things many people are faced with, yet few can truly deal

Imagine walking into a Mexican Restaurant with your family and the staff informs you that there is a wait as long as the lines for a roller coaster

you a kids menu as if kids had a stomach as big as an adults. After taking your order, your waiter takes a long time to bring you your plate like it 's

On the wall they have some paintings. One of the paintings looks like a man with a Mexican hat, a guitar, and bucket of beers. In another painting it
shows a cut watermelon as red as an apple and in the bottom it says "Chevys Famous Watermelon Margaritas" (Chevys Mexican Restaurant– Google
Search). There is also another painting that looks like a farmer picking out crops and a woman walking away with picked out crops and it says "Grown
and Packed by Chevys" "Produce so fresh you 'd swear we grew it ourselves" (Chevys Mexican Restaurant – Google Search). The restroom is by the
family side. It only has two stalls and it is as clean as a shiny floor. The patio has some regular size black chairs with white tables that have pictures
with words like it is an advertisement for beer. One of the patio tables has a picture of the Corona logo. Another table has a picture of the "Cerveza
Pacifico Clara" logo (Chevys Mexican Restaurant – Google Search). Chevys has a great ambience because of the seating, the patio and the wall and its
decoration.

5. Comparison Between Shipping Out And Mark Twain's Opinion
Opinions are the median in which people often voice their stances on topics that they are passionate about. The way in which opinions are expressed
often decide how the viewpoint will be received by the audience. In the two works, Shipping Out by David Foster Wallace and From the Innocents
Abroad by Mark Twain, two positive and similar attitudes are expressed toward the service staff that they encounter on their journeys. David Foster
Wallace and Mark Twain both construe their praises for service providers in two very differing manners. The two writers' opinions and ideas are
received dissimilarly, with Twain's opinions being easier to consider than Wallace's due to the softer language and phrasing that he uses when
presenting his compliments regarding the service staff. The different ways in which the writers articulate their point of view to their audiences
influences the acceptance of the writers' opinion, which is exemplified in Wallace and Twain's two works. People often are very... Show more content

Examples throughout Twain and Wallace's works establish that the way in which a writer articulates their opinion correlates with the way in which
the opinions is received and accounted for. Twain and Wallace both connect the reader visually to the characters in their works, however, Twain
leaves room for the reader to form an opinion of the character for themselves. He allows them to decide if they appreciate the gentle energy of the
older traveler or the warmth and attentive nature of the wait staff. On the other hand, Wallace's demanding language leaves no room for interpretation
for the reader. His extreme and dramatic phrases ultimately cause the reader to question the value of his opinion, which simply proves that moderate
language used in Mark Twain book is more successful than the bold language that David Foster Wallace chooses to

6. Analysis Of I Wanna Be Loved By You
RUNNING HEAD: Close Analysis of I Wanna be Loved by You
ABSTRACT:
Some Like it Hot is a period comedy movie from 1959 that depicts the story of two men who witnessed a crime and are forced to dress as women to
avoid punishment from mafia gangsters. The extract chosen for close analysis is a performance by the character Sugar Kane, singing I Wanna be
Loved by You in front of a large audience. The analysis will follow a primarily fundamentalist approach focusing on the mise–en–scene and
cinematography of the scene, and discuss how this relates to the main themes of the film, in particular the issue of gender.
The initial portion of the extract is focused entirely on Sugar Kane, with all eyes drawn to her. The choice of clothing by... Show more content on

The static long shot is also used as a type of POV shot, where the audience at home is seeing the performance through the eyes of those attending the
concert. Furthermore, her song finishes with a large round of applause from the audience, and this confirms her popularity.
An affectionate connection is established between Joe and Jerry towards Sugar Kane, and they are unable to concentrate on their performance. The
music continues to play during this sequence in a diegetic manner but, as an instrumental takes place, the focus is shifted to Joe and Jerry's attempts to
remain 'in character' as women. The decision to shift the music from the focal point of the scene to background music is done to ensure there is no
discontinuity, and the music serves as both the focal point and a prop at different times.
The interaction between a waiter and Joe and Jerry suggests that their cross dressing has not been noted by others, as both the waiter and a customer
provide flowers for the two men under the pretence that they are female, despite displaying a series of male mannerisms. The display of male
mannerisms is to indicate that both Joe and Jerry, or Daphne and Josephine as they were playing in this scene, are struggling to adapt to their new
chosen gender and have remind each other of conventional female behaviour.

When we got inside a fancy restaurant and waited for a waiter to address us a smile broke out, because I haven't gone anywhere in a good while. I

"I'll have the 12oz steak with mash potatoes and salad, while my girl will have a large plate of chicken and shrimp alfredo pasta." The waiter quickly
writes it down on his notepad and remove the menu from our table. I look over to Eli seeing he's already watching me.
"I like being in charge as you can see." Eli says.
"Why didn't you become the leader in the gang?" Eli chuckles.
"If I was the leader would you have love me instead of Nino?" His questions don't hit me since I had a feeling he would bring Nino into this.
"How do you know I loved Nino?"
"He almost killed you, but after that you still wanted him. I think that's safe to say that's love." Eli says shrugging his shoulder.
"Are you jealous?" I ask him teasing him for a change.

9. The Theme Of Loneliness
In "A Clean, Well–Lighted Place," by Hemingway and "Miss Brill" by Katherine Mansfield what they both have in common is the literary device
theme loneliness. Theme is the general idea or insight revealed in a narrative. These two stories are also different from the style of writing these two
authors wrote how to tell their stories.
Loneliness is introduced in the beginning of the short story "A Clean, Well–Lighted Place" by Hemingway. The deaf old man, with no wife and only a
niece to care for him, is noticeably lonely. The younger waiter, upset that the old man won't go home, shows himself and the old man in opposites:
"He's lonely. I'm not lonely. I have a wife waiting in bed for me" (Ernest Hemingway pg. 373) Loneliness, for the ... Show more content on

"The old people sat on the bench, sill as statues. Never mind, there was always the crows to watch." (Mansfield pg. 563) She sees all of the people,
in their separate interactions, as being part of a stage production. She thinks of the people in the stands, including herself, not as audience members
but as performers too. She thinks of herself as being a part of the production that if she were missing someone she would notice. She tells the old man
who cares little for her presence that "I have been an actress for a long time." (Mansfield pg. 564)
These two stories contrast the way they were written in "A Clean, Well–Lighted Place" the author Hemingway writes the story mostly in dialogue. The
story is mostly the young waiter and older waiter talking to each other about the old man. "Last week he tried to commit suicide" (Ernest Hemingway
pg. 372) We only learn about the old man through conversation between the waiters.
The way Katherine Mansfield wrote "Miss Brill" she wrote a lot of details where you can imagine Miss Brill enjoying her fur. "She had taken it
out of it's box that afternoon, shaken out the moth powder, given it a good brush and rubbed the life back into the dim little eye." (Katherine
Mansfield pg. 562) It bought her back to life. "But today she passed the baker's boy, climbed the stairs, went into the little dark room her room like a

10. A Clean Well-Lighted Place Waiter
In "A Clean, Well–Lighted Place," it seems as if the young waiter resembles Henry because he is young and the most masculine from the other
characters involved; he only thinks of what he wants. For example, when the deaf old man wants another round of brandy the young waiter feels
sleepy and says, "I never get into bed before three o'clock. He should have killed himself last week. The waiter took the brandy bottle and another
saucer from the counter inside the cafe and marched out to the old man's table. He put down the saucer and poured the glass full of brandy. 'You
should have killed yourself last week,' he said to the deaf old man (Hemingway "Clean" 289). Both the young waiter and Henry seem to fully know
what's going on and are in control.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Now, without thinking further, he would go home to his room. He would lie in bed and finally, with daylight, he would go to sleep. After all, he
said to himself, it's probably only insomnia. Many must have it" (Hemingway "Clean" 291). The old waiter is on his way to a bar as he talks to
himself, it is dark; in, "A Farewell to Arms," Henry says, "I am afraid of Him in the night sometimes" (A Farewell. 62), meaning Hemingway is
scared of God at night because he thinks God may punish him or not protect him from evil. So when he arrives at the bar he feels safe and a little
foolish for scaring himself and smiles. But by him memorizing parts of the prayer he has very little faith. When the old waiter is praying, he
wants God to have mercy on him, protect him because he's scared and lost. The old waiter also lies to himself trying to make things seem a little
brighter by convincing himself it's only insomnia and "Many must have it" (Hemingway "Clean" 291). The old waiter has no faith, is scared of the
dark and goes to sleep during the day; not very masculine because he's scared, lost and not in control if he can't sleep at night when most people sleep
the deaf old man from, "A Clean, Well–Lighted Place," by having no faith because God didn't save Catherine, and because according to Henry,
"Everything was gone inside of me" (Hemingway "Farewell" 282).

11. ##liness And Loneliness In Ernest Hemingway's A Clean...
When I have a lot on my mind, I find it hard to quell my thoughts and drift away peacefully asleep. The only thing i can do then, is to give up on
sleeping. Watch the TV, or anything to get my mind to stop wandering. Ernest Hemingway never fails to make you think deeper thoughts when reading
his works. This is the case In Ernest Hemingway's a clean well–lighted place is a short story about two waiters, and an old, deaf man in a late night
cafe. The young waiter is tired and impatiently waiting for the old man to leave so he can go home. The older waiter tries to explain to him why
the old man is there at the cafe instead of a bar or bodegas. The short story is a set of dialogs, and within these we learn that some need a safe haven
for their despair. Some need a clean and orderly place to contradict the dirty, unorganized mess they have in their head. Hemingway's short story is
about loneliness and despair.
To start with, the setting of this story takes place in what is most likely Spain. The title plays a big role in the setting. The older waiter is trying to
communicate the reason the man is there in the middle of the night, and that is because the cafe is in fact a clean, well–lighted place. The lightness and
order are the reasons he is there. He could go anywhere else to drink, but he is an old deaf man that is there to get away from the darkness of the night.
He is lonely and has lost almost all hope. His only hope is that he can have a clean well lighted place to hide

13. Happiness In Fahrenheit 451 And A Clean Well-Lighted Place
Happiness differentiates for every individual. Faking happiness can occur as well. Humans can be materialistic and hard to please because of their
need to want more. Some people can be content with a poor lifestyle because of their supporting family. Some may even appear to have everything in
the world, but can be suffering inside. This could be due to loneliness, pain, illness, depression, or even loss of loved ones. Many characters from
Fahrenheit 451 and A clean Well
–Lighted place were unhappy, while some were actually happy.
Montag's wife from Fahrenheit 451 was an example of someone who was unhappy. As soon as Montag got home from a long day at work She kept
telling him to buy a new interactive tv set. She already had a new TV set, house, friends, and etc. She was called to be in the Family show that
everyone watches. Montag knew she wasn't the only "Mildred" to be called that day, but his wife insisted that she was special. All Mildred cared
about was fitting in. She hated being different. When Montag was bringing out his books she kept telling him to put them away and to act normal. She
did nothing but hate his books even though she wouldn't try to read it. She had already attempted to commit suicide before by overdosing on pills. This
shows that something was eating at her even though she had "everything".
The younger waiter from A Clean Well
–Lighted Place would be labeled as happy. Even though he works minimum wage as a waiter he has something
to look forward to.

15. William Hemingway 's ' The Cafe '
After the older waiter turns off the light to the cafe and closes up, he then proceeds to carry the conversation with himself. This again, displays his
loneliness. The text states, "Turning off the electric light he continue the conversation with himself. It is the light of course but it is necessary that the
place be clean and pleasant. You do not want music. Certainly you do not want music. Nor can you stand before abar with dingily although hat is all
that is provided for these hours" (Hemingway, 382). He continues to convince himself that the cafe is needed for all the people who are lonely, like
him, and the old man. However, it is time to close up and head home. Instead, he decides to go to a bodega. The text doesn't overtly state why he
goes to the bodega, but you can infer that he is trying to understand the younger waiter. He knows that a bodega isn't like the cafe at all, but he is
willing to give it a try. Besides, he doesn't want to go home to nothing. The text goes on to say the following,"What did he fear? It was not fear or
dread. It was a nothing that he knew too well. It was all a nothing and a man was nothing too. It was only that and light was all it needed and a certain
cleanness and order" (Hemingway, 383). In order to cope with nothing, he too, needs to go to a cafe but none are open at this hour. He then goes on
to say a prayer but replaces the lord, god, and religion for nothing or nada. For the older waiter, he doesn't find meaning in religion. It

I guess it is almost similar to fast food; however, I used to work as a waiter at a country club. I was paid minimum wage though, and it wasn't bad
working there, but a bit rough for me because the customers were kind of skeptical to take orders from me due to my deafness. They would ask,
can you read lips or can you read the menu. I was like in my head, duh if I can't and then I wouldn't become a waiter or whatsoever. I politely smiled
and said yes, I can read and if you speak slowly and I would understand and you can point at the menu whichever you want to order. I would say I
can identify with emotional labor because some of them did not want me to be their waiter and asked for a different one. I was impressed with the
manager because she did not let it barrier me from not going to a different table. She would come up and fix the problem with the customers and
insisted that I was a good waiter. From now on, the customers got used to me being their waiter and irony is that I was their favorite waiter. I was glad

19. Warren Bennett Believes That The Old Waiter Is A Materialist
Warren Bennett believes that the Older Waiter is a materialist. I agree that the Old Waiter is a materialist and his views of the world as having nothing.
According to Bennett's claim that the Old waiter is a Materialist, "the older waiter is unable to master such faith or confidence, and beyond material
there is nothing" (Bennett 75). The definition reads "the emphasis on material objects, comforts, and considerations, with a disinterest in or rejection of
spiritual, intellectual or cultural values" (dictionary.com). But, I think that the Old Waiter feels this ways because he has nothing in his life "I have
never had confidence and I am not young."(Hemmingway). The Old waiter fits the definition seeking comfort and is hesitant "to close up... Show more
content on Helpwriting.net ...
Old Man is used as a conversation for the two waiters to contrast their views of the world. I agree with Bennett that the Old Man is used as a topic
of discussion. The two waiters are able to discuss what they think of the old man. The old man and the young waiter both have nothingness in
their lives. In comparison to the younger waiter who actually has a wife and wants to go home every night "I'm not lonely. I have a wife waiting
in bed for me" (Hemmingway). The Old man is out drinking because he has no wife and has nothing in his life. Later we see the reflective human
condition in that the Older Waiter goes out drinking for himself, he relfects because he has nothing too. I agree with Bennett that the younger
waiter is in a hurry, he actually has something, but unlike the two older men they prefer to stay out drinking to be away from the darkness of their
homes. I think that the importance of this getting old people seem to lose their function. The young waiter is fresh and the life is waiting for him.
In comparison to the old men who are now old and reflect on their lives. They wished they could have done something different or had a better life.
It is important to have something and people around to be happy. It is easy to look at others and judge that they do not belong. But like the old man
who lost his wife, the younger waiter had a wife and companionship. Hemmingway is getting at gloomy part of life, in the end we are all lonely

I believe what Garfinkel means in background assumptions is how we commonly go throughout the day and the order we do things in. In my
norm violation I am going to not follow the order my culture eats dinner in. The norm violation I decided to do is ordering dessert first at a
restaurant.This is a norm violation because you are suppose to order your appetizer first, then your entree and lastly your dessert. I decided that
Fender's Diner would be an excellent place to do my experiment. I dine here a good bit and usually order their salads so this will be different for
me. Fenders Diner is a locally owned restaurant known for its 1950's Rock n' Roll American theme. On a Sunday after church lets out is when I
decided to do to do my ethnomethodology experiment. I also brought my sister who is known for her sweet tooth. As we sit down at our table our
slightly overweight waiter immediately greets us. We order chocolate milkshakes and our waiter smiles and says, "Wait! No lemon water this
time?" This is the first reaction we received. It made me feel a little nervous because if he is already reacting to our drinks, how is he going to

28. Analysis Of A Clean Well-Lighted Place By Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway is a well known author of many short stories. He was born in Oak Park, Illinois. He was starting to be known as a good author
when he first published his firsts stories. Hemingway even earned a Nobel Prize in Literature. Eventually, he committed suicide by shooting himself.
His writing remains well–known. One story he wrote was called "A Clean, Well–Lighted Place." Hemingway wrote this story about an old man who
stays late at a cafe where two waiters were working at. The old man would even stay late when no one else was in the cafe. The waiters, especially
the younger one, were becoming impatient with the old man. The older waiter did not seem to mind much. As the story goes on, Hemingway
gives the reader a good contrast between the waiters. There is also a sense of depression or abandonment in the story. This story can be seen as a
reflection of the impact of age because of the contrast between the waiters, the loneliness of the old man, and the emphasis of the use of "nada." As
someone reads this story, it is clear that there is contrast between the two waiters. Hemingway writes the dialogue in a way that readers can tell there
is an age difference between the two waiters. The waiters begin to talk about what each of them have. The older waiter is clearly older because, he
says, "'You have youth, confidence, and a job..." (Hemingway 169). The waiters have an age difference which shows throughout the story. There is
another line where the older waiter says,

The kitchen staff includes one chef specializing in each aspect of the menu i.e. (appetizers, salads, sandwiches, main dishes, deserts). Once the order
is ready, the Food Expeditor checks the accuracy of the order, presentation of the dish as well as the portion (quantity) to ensure it abides by the
standards set for the kitchen. If the order is approved, the food runner takes the order up to the waiter, who in turns serves it to the table. This chain is
illustrated in Figure one. If we take a closer look at the Kitchen, this is where the most important part of the dining experience – the food, is created.
The kitchen at each branch receives their ingredients from the Central Kitchen of Deek Duke. It is important to note that Deek Duke holds an

1.0Introduction
Who's Cookin' is a catering business that launched in 1975 that serves customers with great food and service for their event needs. Operating in 5
different locations in South East Brisbane, the business is looking to expand to 10 different locations across other cities in the near future. Who's
Cookin' has however been gradually declining over the past few years as the business is obsolete when it comes to customers wanting efficient and
time–saving solutions when ordering for catering services. The business have manual cashiers that take a lot of time to use for cashiers, and have no
reliable resources to store data of orders when filing. In order for the business to improve and update, a bank loan of $100,000 has been applied from
Who's Cookin' to transform the business with 21st century technology to potentially own the latest Information and Communications Technology
(ICT), Information Systems (IS), and Computer Based Information Systems (CBIS). This enhancement will allow Who's Cookin' to have digitalized
cash registers, computer devices for storing important business data, fund local TV advertisements, and even sustain funding a website and phone
application for customers to order online. The business will run more time efficiently if the company technology was improved. It would also increase
productivity and improve customer satisfaction overall.

I stand no taller than three feet, even with the monster–sized boots hiding my feet from the frigid air on the lake. The bright orange hat falls over my
eyes as I struggle to keep up with my dad. I slip a bit on the ice and let out a shrill scream before getting ready to hit the ground, but I don 't feel any
pain. I open my eyes to see that my superhero had swooped me up and saved the day. I wrap my slender arms around his neck, hugging him. He
carries me the rest of the way to the small lakeside restaurant. When he sets me down on the ground again, my boots make a loud bang on the
wooden floor. A few heads turn towards us. One specific person that I notice is an old man who's grey hair hangs a bit too long. His scruffy looking
beard reminds me of my grandfather.
I waddle after my dad to the tall stools by the counter. I try to climb up by myself but I am much too short. Dad picks me up again and sets me on the

ice fishing for what seems like years but it's really only been about two weeks. He smiles back as a waiter comes up to us. My dad asks if I 'd rather

32. A Clean Well-Lighted Place Essay
In "A Clean Well–Lighted Place" by Ernest Hemingway, there are characters in the story that has some conflicts with each other. The conflict is
based on the young waiter and the older waiter. There are three reasons how they bump heads with each other. The first reason is how the author's
main purpose deals with these two conflicts. The second reason is because of the way the young is dealing the story. The final reason is the way the
old is dealing with the story. Although there are some similarities in this story, but there are some differences between the young verses the old. First
and foremost, the author's main purpose dealing with the young verses the old in the story. The author discussed the views of an older person with a
younger person. In this case, the people that he used were the younger and the older waiter. The older waiter was one of the main characters in this
story that the author used to describe the main purpose of his writing. The waiter stated in "A Clean Well–Lighted Place" that the younger waiter could
not stand up with dignity, that he was nothing of a man, and that it was nothing that the young waiter knew too well (Hemingway 5). The author
basically pointed out that the meaning of the story is that the young rushes and is not blind of what to do in... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This waiter is rushing through life as if it was a race. He does not want to take his time to get through life tasks. In the story, for an example, the
young waiter stated, "I'm sleepy now. I never get into bed before three o'clock. He should have killed himself last week" (Hemingway 2). He was in
a huge rush to get home to his wife and family because he did not want to wait until the deaf old man got done drinking. He was very impatient to the
point he was having a confrontation with the older waiter that was understanding why the deaf man was acting the way he was. Being in a rush may

Steam billowed from what seemed like a hole in the wall to reveal sweating cooks cooking up a feast for the guests attending. She leaned in from

cream from the premium cows and the thickest, most pure chocolate syrup ever imagined. She was practically drooling down onto her shoes before
a waiter crashed into her shoulder and in horror spilled an entire platter of vegetables onto the orchestra and people dancing before both of them. The
strings of the band whined to a halt as they were dressed head to toe with carrots and radishes, sticking to their hair and clinging to their fake

34. Sun Also Rises War
"All for fun. Just for fun." This quotation taken from the novel, The Sun Also Rises illustrates Ernest Hemingway's distaste for the effects of war and
needless violence on the human condition that is reflected in the experiences of Jake Barnes, the main character of the boook. At one point in the
story, Jake witnesses firsthand a man being stabbed to death by a bull during a bull rush and later on recounts the event to a waiter of a nearby cafe. It
is here where Hemingway establishes his personal negative sentiment towards the killing as a metaphor for war and violence through the use of various
literary elements including repetition, imagery and tone. Upon perusing this passage, the reader immediately notices the repetition of specific... Show

When Jake first meets the waiter, he is asked where the man was stabbed. Jake replies by placing "...one hand on the small of my back and the
other on my chest..." Here, the reader can visualize the moment of impact for the man and the bull as well as the pain that the man must have felt in
his final moment of life. A few lines later, when the waiter brings Jake a coffee and milk pot, he pours both liquids through the "long sprouts in two
streams into the big cup." The "two streams" in this case reflect the streams of blood that gushed out of the man once he was stabbed while the
contrast in the dark shade of the coffee and the white color of the milk reflect the opposing forces of life and death, fighting until the end where death
ultimately won. Furthermore, before walking away to tend to other customers, the waiter imitates Jake's action earlier and places "his hand on the small
of his back." as if envisioning himself in that man's situation. This moment indicates the pity and sympathy that the waiter feels toward the man as well
as his profound aversion to the bull rush. At the same time, this moment could have also displayed Hemingway's own aversion to war and its incessant
killing of innocent people. The reader can infer that through the waiter's actions, Hemingway is able to express his own lingering negativity towards
the violence. As such, imagery throughout the passage conveys certain details about the death of the man as well as the authors thoughts on the event

He hasn't seen or heard from his son in three years after what seemed to be a pretty rough divorce between him and Charlie's mother considering it
has been three years without a word. Out of nowhere comes Charlie who wants to meet with his father for an hour and a half for lunch between his
trains. An hour and a half is not a lot of time to catch up for three years of lost time. There is almost no dialogue between the two in the whole story,
except for when they first meet and when they part ways. The only mention of the two talking in the middle of the story is when Charlie's father
talks to him about baseball. Baseball though, is probably one of the only things that the two may have in common at this point, but the way it is put
into context some people would think that Charlie's father doesn't seem interested in him. All of this is very sudden for Charlie's father and he
definitely wasn't ready for Charlie to show up in New York. So it could be said that all things considered, all of this could be a little overwhelming
for Charlie's father and could be directly related to the way that he acted during their meeting. A father who hasn't seen his son in three years, trying to
make a good impression, who is probably very nervous and maybe even scared of meeting his son. Charlie's silence during their meeting doesn't help

After a countless amount of readings of Ernest Hemingway's short story "A Clean, Well–Lighted Place" I have often contemplated what it all means.
I've previously been told by my undergraduate professor that the story has no intrinsic meaning or value. I refuse to believe that is true. All stories can
have multiple meanings that are buried deep beneath the text. It just requires an extensive analyzation of the short story. Why would the story be
written if it had no meaning? In this paper, I will search for meaning in the text that is primarily described as an exploration of existential nihilism. In

Instead, you enter a world of ambiguous conversations surrounding suicide and nihilism. The short story introduces an ideology of agnosticism and
atheism that challenges the ever powerful, and meaningful, religious ideologies. In this case, the agonistic worldview is oppressed compared to an
ideal religious ideology. Another idealistic feature within the text is being youthful. The younger waiter in the story is privileged because he has
many years ahead of him, a wife, and he believes he has a more meaningful life. The oppressed and unappealing people in the text would be the old
deaf man and the old waiter that are in the story. With the younger waiter being privileged in the story, it is essential to challenge and reverse the
powerful hierarchies that romanticize being youthful and having "meaning" in ones life. When the younger waiter refuses to let the old man stay and
drink in the cafe he assumes that the old man can go drink elsewhere. He doesn't realize that he needs the cafe, because it is nicely lit and it is quiet.
Not only is the waiter closing the cafe earlier than usual, but he mentions that an hour means more to him than it would to the old man. The text states,
"'Why didn't you let him stay and drink?' the unhurried waiter asked. They were putting up the shutters. 'It is not half–past two.' 'I want to go home to
bed.' 'What is an hour?' 'More to me than to him.' 'An hour is the same'" (381). At this point in the story, the older waiter is telling the young man that
he was wrong for sending the old man away. When the younger waiter to state that his time is more valuable than the old man, this shows how the
older people in the text are being oppressed. According to Rolfe, "To reverse the resident hierarchy, only to displace it, that is, to expose and challenge

38. A Clean, Well Lighted Place By Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway developed his own style of writing and follows it in "A Clean, Well–Lighted Place". Hemingway's elegance in writing is such that
he indirectly gives all of the information to the reader without making any judgment; thus allowing one to create an opinion about every minute detail
of the story. Hemingway illustrates his foundations of writing in "A Clean, Well
–Lighted Place" by providing small clues that provide an indirect view
of the larger meaning.
Hemingway illustrates one of his elements of writing, omission, by providing two waiters and their exchange of speech and actions with each
other and their customer, the old man. By doing so, he provides all of the information for readers to create an assumption about the individual's
traits; the saintly and even wicked. In the story we are given a scene with the old drunken man and the younger waiter. The old man asks for
another brandy while pointing to his empty glass. The younger of the two waiters brashly began his dialogue with "Finished," he said, speaking
with that omission of syntax stupid people employ when talking to drunken people or foreigners. "No more tonight. Close now." "Another," said the
old man. "No. Finished." The waiter wiped the edge of the table with a towel and shook his head. The old man stands to leave, counts his tab, pays
for his brandy, even leaves a tip for the waiters, and then begins to walk away with dignity even for his drunken stupor. (153–154) In this passage the

This story was written by Hemingway in 1933. It details an evening's interaction between two waiters, and their differing perspectives of life.
Hemingway uses an old man as a patron to demonstrate the waiter's philosophies. Hemingway is also visible in the story as the old man, someone
who society says should be content, but has a significant empty feeling inside. What follows is a line–by–line analysis, putting emphasis on the

The old man signals the younger waiter over for another drink, and the waiter declines to server him because
he feels that the man is getting drunk and doesn't want to get stuck waiting for him to finish. The younger waiter then comments that the old man
should have killed himself last week, and how the waiter is tired and simply wants to get to bed at a reasonable hour.
The older waiter, empathizing with the old man, grabs the bottle of brandy and pours a full glass for the old
man. This, again, reflects the respect that the older waiter has for the old man. This is the first real hint that the older waiter has a lot in common with
the old man. As the older waiter takes his seat at the table with the younger waiter, the younger waiter comments
about the old man's drunkenness every night. The old man asks the younger why the old man would want to kill himself. The younger waiter replies
that he doesn't know why. They discuss the incident, and the younger waiter asks who cut the rope that the man was hanging from. The older replies
that it was his niece, and explains that she probably did it our of fear for his soul. The younger waiter questions
