The theme of this story is, with great power comes great responsibility. George desperately says (p.541), "...let me lose my miraculous power, let my will become just everyone else's will, and all these dangerous miracles be stopped." This shows that he was desperate to rid himself of the power of miracles. He realized the responsibility that came along with it was too great. He couldn't take the pressure anymore. When given such a power he couldn't handle it and he buckled under pressure

The Three Day Blow by
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway’s short stories and pieces are commonly known to have a masculine perspective. In the short story, ”The Three Day Blow”, Hemingway uses various kinds of techniques of writing. The diction used is more appropriate for a male reader, whereas a female audience may not comprehend the text as well. The story’s perspective is limited to the point where only a certain extent of people will understand what Hemingway is trying to get across to the audience. In the short story, Hemingway uses the phrases such as ““Once a man’s married, he’s absolutely b****ed,” Bill went on. ”He hasn’t got anything more. Nothing. Not a d*mn thing. He’s done for. You’ve seen the guys that get married.”-(page 23)  This excerpt is one example of how the author has a more male-friendly point of view, because men tend to use more inappropriate dialect compared to women. They are criticizing marriage and what it does with their future, which creates a bold point of view..Another quote used in the short story that emphasizes a masculine perspective is, ” Bill reached down the whisky bottle. His big hand went all around it. He poured the whisky into the glass Nick held out.” -(page 18)This phrase from the story constructs the perspective because males usually drink and they most commonly have considerately large hands.

 The other side of the hedge takes place on a road the has lasted a very long time, more than the speaker can remember, and seems to have no end. The road represents the path between life and death. The road continues on forever until they finally let themself accept death. By crossing over the hedge and meeting the others who were curious enough to jump over, they can be greeted and be taken by death "I was strangely disquieted at the sight, which seemed to deprive me of all self-control. A man was passing us, returning for the night to the hills, with a scythe over his shoulder and a can of some liquid in his hand. I forgot the destiny of our race. I forgot the road that lay before my eyes, and I sprang at him, wrenched the can out of his hand, and began to drink." Pg. 52 The main characters action represents him accepting death, as the drink that he takes from the man with the scythe, which represents death, inevitably kills him.

Based on The Three-Day Blow by Ernest Hemingway the masculine style of writing doesn't give off much emotion and may appeal more to adult males. This limits the reader's point of view because there's no insight to the minds of the characters. The quotes from the story like, "It's got a swell, smoky taste." normally end in the speaker tag, "he said". This made the story much more boring and it didn't give the people a lot of personality. I think the story would have been better if Hemingway had used better speaker tags.]]> 2018-09-06 15:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nathan_renfro/tffn5pkgpavg/wish/278490733 https://padlet.com/nathan_renfro/tffn5pkgpavg/wish/278491771 The other side of the hedge

In the Jockey, Carson McCullers builds tension by having the rich men constantly trying to calm the Jockey down. Sylvester argued, "Be reasonable. You know you have to be responsible.' This line was repeated multiple times, and the Jockey soon became very annoyed at the rich men because he knew that they had something to do with his friend's injury but they were playing dumb. From what I understood, the richer men paid to have the race rigged and the boy hurt to get more money.

He had mentioned his brother earlier in the story saying, "At first I thought I was going to be like my brother, whom I had to leave by the roadside a year or two round the corner" (Forster, 47), meaning that his brother had passed away. He also mentioned that his pedometer had not been tracking is steps, which shows that he is not living anymore. Later, Forster writes, "The man whose beer I had stolen lowered me down gently to sleep off its effects, and, as he did so, I saw that he was my brother" (53).

In The Three-Day Blow, Hemingway limits the readers point of view by  only providing the reader with a male perspective. For example, Bill states, "You've seen the guys that get married. They get this sort of fat married look. They're done for." (p. 23)  This gives a negative outlook on marriage and the reader doesn't get the women's perspective on the subject. As a female reader myself, I found it difficult to connect with the themes of sports and guns. For example, "What did the Cards do? Dropped a double header to the Giants?" (p. 18) I couldn't wrap my mind around what they were discussing]]> 2018-09-11 00:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nathan_renfro/tffn5pkgpavg/wish/279658940
