Hemmingway Paper.
 
In the story “ A Clean well Lighted Place”, there are three characters. The Old man, Young waiter, and the Old waiter. The old man is the main character but the other two characters have a big part in it. If you would read this story, you will find it very interesting how the writer, Hemmingway, will introduce all the characters that I am about to talk about.
 
The Old Man is a very interesting man. In my prespective the old man is lonely, without anyone to talk to and to be with when he is trouble. In the story it explains a lot about the old man, but with what hemming way is trying to get through is the old man is him. The old man went to a bar almost every night. Sometimes he would get so drunk that he would not know when the bartender would be poring his drink. Or he would be so drunk that he wouldn't be able to pay his own bill.
 
 
The next person I want to talk about is the Old waiter. The old waiter is a lot like the old man. He is also lonely, likes the morning, and a lot more reasons that they are a lot alike. Like you see they get each other. In my opinion the old waiter works at a bar because it closes in the morning. In the story it says “ The old waiter fell a sleep at the crack of dawn”. That told me that he only sleeps in when there is light, just like the old man as well. So the old waiter and the old man have a lot in common like I said before. So what I what I see is Hemmingway trying to put himself in this two very well described characters.
 
The other person I was going to talk to you about is the Young Waiter. This man is young of course. He has a wife, that he can’t get really get to at night because he works at the bar. So obviously he is really rude to the old man when he didn’t want to stay any longer in the bar waiter for some old man that is so drunk that he can’t even pay for his own bill. So what the young waiter did just so that he could go home he kicked the old man out of the bar. And then that’s when the old waiter stepped in and said that was a really wrong thing to do. But still after that the young waiter still didn’t lean his lesson. He was still rude to the old man after that. So you see the old waiter was not the best person to be working at a bar that stays open that that late.
 
So as you can see, the old man did drink a lot. He was lonely and so was the old waiter. But because the young waiter knew that he had a woman waiting for him at home he was selfish and didn’t think about anyone else but himself. But the other thing that I’m trying to point out is that the old man is a part of Hemmingway, and what he was trying to point out is loneliness can lead to some bad things. The old man and the old waiter knew what this felt like, but the young waiter obviously didn’t. so what I think Hemmingway was trying to say is that sometimes young people don’t know what they really have, until you are grown up and you what you it is that you actually have.

Everything happens for a reason.

           That night when you were saying “bye” I knew something was going to go wrong.  we all waited for you for years…. But you never came through that door saying “ hello I’m home”.  I might of been young but I knew that you were not going to come back.  We all knew.

Your exact words that night were, “you two are my little princesses. You three mean the world to me”. You kissed my sister and I on the forehead and gave my mother a kiss.   “I love you guys so much.  While I’m gone I am going to miss you a lot.  Make sure you will stay strong, and pray, for me to come back.”  And BOOM there it was. The clues that, you were not going to come back. “Ever”.  I was only five when all of this happened. But I can remember like it was just yesterday. 

That morning you woke up at 6:40 AM just like every morning, then  took a shower at 7:00 AM.  Then you came in our room and said “I love you girls ill miss you” and kissed us on our foreheads and then went out the door.  Two days passed, And nothing.  Four days passed, and still you didn’t come back.  Then a month.  Whenever anybody rang the doorbell my sister and I ran to the door to see if it was you.  And no it never was.  Then it became almost a year.  And you still never came back. 

Then two years past.  And some things started to arrive at my house.  My mom being all alone not being able to turn to someone for help she panicked and we had to pack our bags, get our plane tickets, and say "bye" to our family and our beautiful country Bogota, Colombia. Without knowing anyone but one person, we came to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. When I got here it was December 24^th.  Being form a country that’s always warm it felt like it was an ice box.  Of course I didn’t like it, neither did my mother or my sister.  But it was a dead that had to be done. We coudln't just go back... so we had to stay in Milwaukee.

Now it has been 7 years without my father, 6 years in Wisconsin, and 4 years of being hardcore American.  So as you can see, I haven’t had one birthday, Christmas, thanksgiving, or any kind of celebration with my father since I was five years old.  But over the years I have learned one big thing.  “Everything happens for a reason”.  If nothing would have happened in Colombia, I would not be here today.  Not in Pewaukee, neither alive.  So when someone tells you that everything happens for a reason believe it because whoever said it, sure knows what they are talking about.

                                                P.S.  I love and miss you daddy.
