Let’s have a chat
Ernest Hemingway has made a short story where two people try hard to evade a certain topic. This topic the character discuss will forever change both of the characters life for the better or for worse but a slight problem with this Ernest doesn’t give the reader a good idea on what is exactly is going on but only gives the reader a weird title to suggest that what the character are talking about is a very Tough subject. The main theme in this story is communication and the literary terms that Ernest Hemingway uses to bring the theme together and to really show the theme are symbolism, motif, and characterization.

And once they take it away, you never get it back.” “But they haven’t taken it away.” “We’ll wait and see.” “Come on back in the shade you mustn’t feel that way.” “I don’t feel any way I just know things’ “I don’t want you to do anything that you don’t want to do.” “Nor that isn’t good for me, she said I know. Could we have another?”(Hemingway, 593). That show how Jig try’s to escape communicating by using alcohol as her
