5. Diction/Syntax/Repetition/Simplicity/Complexity unique to Hemingway
ReplyDeleteRepetition of "sleep":
"'But you have not slept yet, old man,' he said aloud. 'It is half a day and a night and now another day and you have not slept. You must devise a way so that you sleep a little if he is quiet and steady. If you do not sleep you might become unclear in the head.'
I'm clear enough in the head, he thought. Too clear. I am as clear as he stars that are my brothers. Still I must sleep. They sleep and the moon and the sun sleep and even the ocean sleeps sometimes on certain days when there is no current and a flat calm." (77)
Repetition of "friend", "bed", and "he thought". It is also an example of simplicity:
"The wind is our friend, anyway, he thought. Then he added, sometimes. And the great sea with our friends and our enemies. And bed, he thought. Bed is my friend. Just bed, he thought. Bed will be a great thing. It is easy when you are beaten, he thought. I never knew how easy it was. And what beat you, he thought." (120)
