Unfeasible Beings With Distinction
All people of this world are different in some way or another. This is a fact. No two people are alike, nor do any beings on this earth contain the same exact physical features, but in this, personality traits are shared. Many desire to succeed, to encounter love and emotion, and feed their cravings of hunger, sex, and dignity. That is why man is man. No matter how demeaning or wounded they may be, man craves to come out as the winner. In the A Clean, Well-Lighted Place, A Day's Wait, and In Another Country, the author Ernest Hemingway illustrates his characters with troubles of mental and physical behaviors. In parallel, all these characters share one universal goal; it is to come out of their single situations with dignity and decency. The clean and well-lighted cafe in the story, A Clean, Well-Lighted Place, presented the old man with a place to go. Common to all beings, man likes to go out to a clean and well-lit place to share a drink with himself, maybe to soak away life's unfairness or simply to enjoy his successes. The old man in this story showed dignity, "The waiter watched him go down the street, a very old man walking unsteadily but with dignity."(31) His deafness
"And then crying, his head up looking at nothing, carrying himself straight and soldierly, with tears on his cheeks and biting his lips, he walked past the machines and out the door."

The major is the man, whom holds knowledge but at the same time fear of losing his pride though his wounds of the past. The major shows anger and discomfort towards Nicholas Adams ticking off other things to go on. "He cannot marry. He cannot marry," he said angrily.(69) The major is acting like a father, but is starting to get frustrated that he has now lost his wife and feels lonely. This is jeopardizing his pride of being a real man. "I would not be rude. My wife has just died. You must forgive me."(70) At this point, there is nothing the major can do to completely regain his fearless outer looks, but with express of regret, the major is starting to regain manhood in another sense. Adams who is now starting to understand what a real man is, recognizes that this situation is very difficult for the general with this quote, "Oh-, I am sorry so sorry"(70). The major is a wounded man trying to save himself from the disorder he currently holds. The frustration and uneasiness expressed towards Adams was a way for the major to regain is manhood that lost when his wife had died. A man's destination to go where he must go is sometimes blocked by Mother Nature. In a A Day's Wait, Schatz is a boy that is over worried about falling asleep and letting his sickness over take his body and lose his dig
