Week 15

The end is almost here, this week we only had one class and it was to present our work about the three American short stories: 

• A Horseman in the Sky by Ambrose Bierce
• Cat in the Rain by Ernest Hemingway
• A Buddhist Tale by Thomas DeMaria

I really enjoy the lectures but my favorite is "Cat in the Rain" by Ernest Hemingway because of the doble meaning that not only the dialogue have but also the objects that is part of the “Iceberg Theory” that Hemingway use telling a story with the minimum required words so this way you can interpret it.

The lecture context is Italy, after the world war 1 but the characters are from USA that is why the languages that you can identify are Italian and English.

The characters' story are the American wife and husband (George), the hotel-keeper, and the maid.
