well, i just finished reading Hemingway's "Hills Like White Elephants" and i am amazed. it was amazing to me how he could write such a long time and really say nothing at all. now i know that that is not true and probably why i am not good at literature is that i am not good at picking out the details within the literature and the subtletees of it. i can analyze history because it is easy and interesting to do so and delve into the details of what is known and what is not known, go on a quest to find more information or see how a piece of seemingly unrealted could have influenced events. i do like Hemingway because his story, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" shows the cruelty of nature and the futility of modern man within the realistic descriptive prose. that story is realistic, as is "Hills" but "Snows" just shows human nature so well; it is hard to describe.
other than that, i have been really bored lately. i am talking to a friend and i was telling her that it just seems that i have no goal to attain; nothing to strive towards right now. oh well. there is always tomorrow and one can always wish... i know that life will work out somehow. "God help me. Amen."
