Chapter XV Pgs: 156-173

This chapter is very long although I didn't notice any strikingly well placed literary terms in use. The one I did notice, however, was a [RHETORICAL QUESTION] that is asked to Cohn regarding his preconceived notion that the bull fight would bore him. “I thought he was going to be sick. You weren't bored, were you, Robert?” (169) This question was asked after Mike (the one who asked this question) had already badgered Cohn about his obvious lack of boredom throughout the fight. Mike or technically Hemingway uses the question to make fun of Cohn further since he was so far from boredom that there is no need for an answer.

Chapter VI Pgs: 48-58

This chapter is filled with literary terms in use. Sarcasm is not on our list; however it is implemented very well here. “‘You must be careful not to mention him, my dear. Poor Frances has had a most unfortunate experience. Won’t it be fun, Robert? Don’t you think it will be fun, Jake?’” Frances is being incredibly sarcastic however she also incorporates two [RHETORICAL QUESTIONS] at the end of her rant that are very effective in conveying her point. She doesn’t need an answer to these questions since she is being sarcastic and by being sarcastic Jake and Robert both know that she firmly believes her trip to England will not be fun.
