Spring Assessment


Authors note: This short piece is going to be about the differences between two people in a short story and the similarities they have. And the tone of the story.

In every short story there is at least two characters that have many differences and some similarities. Just like in the short story A clean and Well Lighted Place by Ernest Hemingway there are two waiters an older one who has lots of respect for people that come in the café late and a younger waiter that has no respect for them and wants them to leave so he can get back to his family. You probably think that this is a happy story because of the title put it is not it is a depressing short story.

Many of you might know that older people like to stay up late and talk with people, That’s what the older waiter is like he loves his job and is nice to costumers that come into the café even if they stay late. The younger waiter is the opposite he doesn't like when customers come in just before closing and he has a family to take care of and wants to be with them. 

The tone in the story is sadness because the old man sitting and drinking is very depressed and lives on his own and doesn't talk to anyone and get mad fun of. Also the tone is sadness because it is at night and it is quiet in the town and all the shops are closed excepted for the café and a bar. The author made this story because he might have been in the same situation as the old man sitting at the table with his drink he was probably lonely and lived by himself in a lonely place.

I recommend this book to people that like sad stories and what depressed people are like. For me I didn't like the story because it was a sad story and I like more sporty books and how some are exciting not just sad and lonely stories.
