I enjoy A Farewell To Arms so far. It is very interesting to see how characters and people lived and survived in the 1920s, especially in the war. The story takes place in Italy during the war. There are many soldiers and characters in the novel, but only two play hug significant roles. There is Henry, who is America and drives the ambulance car in the war. Then there is the women that he is in love with, her name is Catherine Barkley. She is an English nurse also very involved with the war. When they begin talking they try their best to not talk about the war since it is always on their minds. A major theme of the novel is love. It shows the progression of Catherine and Henry's relationship. Catherine starts off disliking Henry because he is very "pushy" but she learns to like him. I am excited to see how the plot plays out and what happens.
