The book A Farewell to Arms, written by Ernest Hemingway, is a classic .

             about the love story of a nurse and a war ridden soldier. The story .

             starts as Frederick Henry is serving in the Italian Army. He meets his .

             future love in the hospital that he gets put in for various reasons. I .

             thought that A Farewell to Arms was a good book because of the .

             symbolism, the exciting plot, and the constant moving of the main .

             character.

             The symbolism in A Farewell to Arms is very much apparent. Ernest .

             Hemingway has always been one who is big on the symbolism of night as .

             being bad. To the main character in Hemingway's novels, nights have .

             always been a sign of death, or something negative to happen. Another .

             one of the symbolisms in A Farewell to Arms is when Henry tries to .

             escape from the Italian army by jumping off one of the ships the army .

             that he was going to live from now on. At this time, Henry goes off .

             and finds his wife to be.

             The plot in A Farewell to Arms was always active. They were never .

             staying in one place too long. It had a very good story line, which .

             was a love story that ended up in a tragedy. The main character's wife .

             got pregnant and she was off to have her baby when problems started .

             occurring. They had to have a caesarean, and the baby dies, and when .

             the mother of the child starts to hemorrhage Henry knows that it was .

             over for his wife and he was right.

             From the beginning of the book until the end, the action was up. Ever .

             since the front page Henry was traveling around to different towns so .

             it was not boring for the reader. That made it very interesting for .

             the reader because it was always a new town coming up so they were .

             being introduced in the new characters quite often. As the story goes .

             on, the reader is not introducing as many new people, but they are .
