A clean well lighted place
Ernest Hemingway makes this story seem like it is gloomy and full of despair.
The drunk old man is a sign to the older waiter of where his life is heading. The younger waiter is full of life and is oblivious of everything that's going on in regards to the old waiter and the old drunk man. The theme of this story makes me feel like Ernest is telling me there's no hope for aging men. Once strong and full of life ready to conquer the world, are now lost souls in the sands of time.
We Real Cool
Gwendolyn makes this poem short and sweet. The whole theme of it is being lazy and slacking off doing whatever they want. By the use of "school" in it, I assume these are young men who are just doing things out of impulse and do not weigh out the consequences. This theme makes me feel good and full of life. It makes me want to go out and break the law and break things for the hell of it.
