This passage from Ecclesiastes gives examples of the "Circle of Life." In the book The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway the aforementioned passage encompasses one of the many themes offered. The theme that this quote portrays is shown throughout the book, but goes unrecognized until the end of the book is reached. Upon going back through the book I have found many examples of this theme, that when read the first time make no impression but stand out boldly the next.

One example of a missed thematic expression occurs on pg. 39, the last two paragra

Another example of this appears on pg. 148 "Perhaps...about." This section shows how the main character, Jake Barnes, does not care if he truly learns anything in life and only wants to know how to get by. If in life you never learn anything, then it is almost impossible to change. Jake Barnes' unwillingness to learn shows that later in his life he will have little or no change as he did for the book, yet again showing the theme of a constant or unchanging course.

The final reference it is necessary to make is the book in itself. In the beginning Brett and Jake are alone in the carriage and they have a discussion where they profess their love for one another. The book ends the same way but in Madrid. When you read the end it seems like nothing has changed; it is a repeat of Paris but in Madrid.

The incident where Bocanegra kills a man in the crowd while being loaded off the truck for the fight later that night is a subtle example of the theme, the bill always comes. (On pg. 199 "The... Pamplona.") The example shown her
