THE SUN ALSO RISES
By
Ernest Hemingway
The book is ok, there were three main characters. The main characters were Robert Cohn,
Lady Brett Ashley, and Jake Barnes. The book is all right, the only reason I didn't like
is because it talks about slaves and I don't like that. The story was set in Spain in the
1920's with main characters going to see a bullfight
Robert Cohn is the main character. Robert is an educated Jewish American who is a writer
and an ex-boxer he loved to box. The title meant a lot to him. He got a flat nose and
never boxed again. He fell in love with Lady Ashley. 
The Lady Brett Ashley usually goes by the name Brett. The story is based around her. She
loved to drink and go to the cafes in Spain. Everyone loved to drink in the book. She is
French and spends her time in and out of relationships with other men, men without Jake's
type of unfortunate injury. She got herself a fiance (Mike Campbell) later in the book.
She loved the bullfighting and she fell in love with the bullfighter who's name was Pedro
Romero.
Jake Barnes is the narrator. He's smart and he was wounded in the war. Jake Barnes also
loves Brett but he can never have her. His secret war wound that has left him sexually
incapable. 
The main conflict of the story I think is about the love between Jake and Lady Ashley.
She like's him in away but she has a fiance Mike Campbell and she loved him. So she goes
for him. All this helped when they ended up in Pamplona and they followed the
bull-running festival. They all loved to drink and go to cafes. I thought this book was
ok but it had too much romance in it for me. The way the book is written makes it hard to
follow the story line and understand the plot. He did a good job writing it and I would
tell someone else to read it. David Blevins A4
