over 7 years after this video was posted and it's still helping people. bless you for this

It’s crazy that even 8 years later your video is helping people.

So I was in mid anxiety attack because I couldn’t understand this story and I had a deadline, and then like an angel you came upon my feed and save me so thank you very much 😊

I'm so happy that this helped you! Hemingway is tough because his dialogue can be cryptic. He uses "sub-text," which means that the characters imply a lot rather than saying things directly. The reader has to infer and "hear" what they are REALLY saying by "reading between the lines." A challenge! I wish I had a video on "A Clean, Well-lighted Place" for you. That's a good suggestion for the next one! Thanks.

REALLY good explanation! I am so terrible at deciphering these stories but you made it so clear and simple. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

I love how you explain the theme and symbols in the story! Great job and thank you very much!

omg!! thank you so much.!! I am an international student In ELAC. I read the story 3 times!! Can't figure out what the hell they were talking about... When the professor asked me what they are talking about, I answered "tattoo" . Worst day of my life

tnx for removing confuses. I really started to think a real white elephant in the story.

I love you!! You explain things so clearly. Never stop doing these videos! Because I can truly say that your videos help so many people have a better understanding of these complicated stories.

10 years and on. This video helped me understand the story better.

I can't believe that you are helping nearly all my assignments get done. Many compliments!

You have gotten me through sooo many English assignments even when I understand the story I watch your videos.

Yes, I agree! The train station definitely represents a transition for both of them! I guess the man thinks that other people in the station were waiting "reasonably", because unlike the other people are all heading to whatever amazing journey, their relationship will probably end up afterwards..

I always search for your videos after reading assignments for my English class! You clear things up for me greatly! Thank you for your time and knowledge!

This brings so much clarity to me about the point of the story! Thank you so much for helping me understand.

You're so welcome! I'm glad that these videos are useful to you. That makes my day!

Thank you so much! I just finished reading it and was completely confused, but it’s very clear now. I’m going to read it again and see everything fall in to place. Thanks 🙏🏼

You always help me get through my college classes. Thank you so much! You explain things better than all my professors.

It actually was like a whole novel in a short story. I like the theme, the simpliciity of Hemingway, and especially your walking us through it to see the different layers of it. Thank yoU !

I just found your videos and I'm truly thankful you've taken the time to make them. I have such trouble understanding Hemingway and had drawn my own conclusion, but watching this made it so clear. :D Sometimes it just takes another's thoughts to make it all clear. :) I also watched your video over Everyday Use by Alice Walker. You did wonderful on it. After watching and then reading it once again it all clicked! :) Thank you and I'm suggesting your videos to my friend. :)

Thank you for the explanation. I am doing online class and this is one of the assignments.

I really liked what you said about them being at a train station, and that's a place where you stop and move on. I didn't see it like that, too bad I already submitted my paper like a week ago, that would have really made a point. Cool video! Have a good one and post more! :)

Thank you so much I watched all of your videos they help mate a lot

i rely on scholars, even if i do not completely agree with their analysis, i always walk away a richer man for the experience....we are blessed with those who do the research....i for one have a problem staying on the subject, fortunately, we have those whose claws won't turn loose of the subject

Thank you so much , i really appreciate your video it helps a lot to understand this complicated short story

thank you for this, was really insightufl and helpful

I read this story twice and tried to figure out if I was missing something. I was, I missed the whole thing. First I thought it was about them drinking absinthe, then I re read and found something about an operation, thinking maybe breast implants, or something, but it wasn't an option when this story was written. So I Googled around a bit and found this video and it cleared it up completely. Thanks!

Great video! However, there is so much symbolism in this story that was left out. If only you were the sixtyminutescholar
