Blog Entry #2 - Pages 15-46 (Chapter's 1-5)
This weeks assigned readings introduced us to Ernest Hemingway and his story in "A Moveable Feast."
The story begins with him sitting in a Paris cafe struggling to find the motivation in his writing. The cold winter season has started to move in and I quickly learned that this was not Hemingway's favorite part of the year. He and his wife agree to leave Paris until the weather began to improve.
During the 2nd chapter the reader is introduced to Miss Stein. She is a very knowledgeable woman that Hemingway greatly respects. She has a very persuasive personality that allowed her to influence others when she wanted to. They develop a strong relationship.
Toward the latter half of this weeks readings we are introduced to Hemingway's love for the Spring months. It also becomes clear that him and his wife enjoy horse racing and spending time together. It puts aside their worries about money and life. The two spend a nice day/evening together at the races and enjoying a rather expensive meal at Michaud's restaurant at the end of Chapter 6.
