The Sun Also Rises is a great, meaningful book.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The Sun Also Rises is about a group of expatriated Americans who are in Paris. Jake Barnes has been emasculated in the war, and can therefore not physically express his love toward Brett. Brett is "dirty" and is incapable of staying with one person. Her "true love" died in the war, and she loves Jake, but they cannot be together because she needs what he can't give her physically.
Deeper Meaning?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book needs to be read more than once. Even though it hurts to struggle through each page, after reading it the first time, i was disgusted that i couldn't find a plain and simple deeper meaning. BUT i read it twice, and it was better the second time. Read a book thats easy to read once, read one thats hard twice.
