We studied the hidden narrative in Hemingway's style by analyzing the ongoing dialogue between Lt. Henry and Catherine. Olivia offered a strong analysis of the exchange as a "skit" wherein the two characters vocalize words of love they both know are not true but need to be true given the fragility of their lives in war. I then read two passages that highlight Hemingway's journalistic terse style, and again we searched for the 7/8 of the iceberg below the surface meaning of the sentences themselves. Last, we located portions of the text foreshadowing that the characters are undergoing some type of character development . In that regard, Olivia discussed how the first person narrative informs the reader that the story occurred in the past in that the reader is told the characters do not know early on what they will later learn. But ,of course, Hemingway does not yet explicitly tell the reader what it is the characters later learned .Olivia then offered speculation about themes the novel will develop and what the major characters may learn from their wartime experience. For homework, I assigned reading the next two chapters.
