Enest Hemingway
The American man, the antagonist character, uses everything he can to force the girl, jig to have their first child aborted. Sentences repeated in the text include seven variations on a conditional questions asked by jig, if ‘afterward” the couple can be as happy as they were before the operation was necessary. The final repetition is distinguished from its predecessors because it is declarative statement.” And I ‘ll do it and everything will be fine” (Hemingway564). Jig then answers her own question and predicting that “everything will be fine” suggest that despite her reluctance, the man’s persuasion is succeeding. The man repeats six variations in the text by saying” I don’t want you to do it if you feel that way.” This alters and further specifies the conditions he sets foe allowing her refusal. He requires that she “cares about herself. And the fifth interruptions repetition begins with an adversative conjunction phrase, emphasizes the man’s persistence and power to change the conditions of the agreements, as well as jig’s reluctance or inability to want or feel as he directs. Every moment he tries to say something; he always uses the word “but” to set up a condition from the get to. The girl, despite her reluctance, is always agreeing whit whatever decisions the man comes up with.
