This short story seemed simple due to repetition and vocabulary but actually has a lot of deeper meaning in it. In the beginning of the story the reader is not sure exactly where the two characters take place. The reader later finds out that the two characters have been through many experiences together and have a large past. " We'll be fine afterward. Just like we were before" (Hemingway). Some indications of this are how informally they speak with one another and how they had many bags from many different areas.
A huge repetition in the story is how the characters keep reminding each other than they will always be together, and how much they love each other. Although both characters keep mentioning how they will be okay and they will be happy; the reader is left uncertain if what they are saying is true. They seem to bicker a lot in the text and are uneasy. The reader can also detect that some thing is wrong with the characters by their uncommon dialog. "Then I'll do it, because i don't care about me" (Hemingway).
This story left me wishing that it had been longer, it was very interesting to read, not because it was exciting or thrilling, but because of its odd dialog and the way it is written. This story is very easy to understand and read but still has a lot of deeper meaning that take place between the characters.
