The Sun Also Rises - Chapter 4

1 week ago 31

I'm reading The Sun Also Rises right now. I'm only up to chapter 7 so far.

Just wanted to say when Jake feels like crying himself to sleep that really hit. Sometimes you might try to detach yourself or laugh about what's happening in life but eventually you can't avoid what you are feeling, thinking, or know to be reality. It consumes you. It's like the song crawling by linkin park - "There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface Consuming, confusing This lack of self control I fear is never ending Controlling"

This is from the end of the chapter: "Then I thought of her walking up the street and stepping into the car, as I had last seen her, and of course in a little while I felt like hell again. It is awfully easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it is another thing."

Please don't spoil anything for me.
