Hemmingway's The Sun Also Rises
.... so that he was not so pleasant to have around² (16). There is
racism in Jake¹s tone, but Jake¹s problem with Chon is is strictly one of
jealousy.

endeavors with women, but these feelings their peak when Chon and Lady
Brett have a brief affair. Jake, having unconditional love for Brett,

.... and forgive Brett¹s
promiscuity and infidelity is an indication of the skewed values of the
age. It was an ³anything goes² era right after the first war, and Jake¹s
message to Brett seems to be the same: anything goes as long as you
eventually come back to me.
Jake is forced to accept living in this seemingly terrible way for more
than one reason. He a weak person socially, but he is also physically
disabled because of an injury that he suffered during the war. He suffered
an injury that caused him to be castrated. The first hint of this is when
he says to Georgeette ³I was hurt in the war (24) in refrence to why they

Jake had not helped her. She uses her feminine charm, and there is, little

There is no question in Jake¹s mind that he will be losing Montoya as a
friend and also the respect that others had once held for him, yet he
choose Brett over these losses. Jake even goes as far as to make an
agreement with with Montoya that he breaks up .....

quest is very simple. He wants to do good. As compared to tragic heroes in the

To Kill A Mockingbird: Courage
.... into this neighborhood. The
next display of moral courage was when Jem despite his misgivings constantly
went to Ms. Dubose's house and read to her. The next display of moral courage
was Atticus's decision to defend Tom Robinson in court and instead of just
walking in and walking out he tried his best to help him get out. There was
also Heck Tate's moral courage at the end of the book, his courage to keep
Arthur Radley from being a spectacle.
In short this book has many different displays of immense courage both
in the physical sense and in the moral sense. I also feel that had it not been
for these shows of courage t .....
