over 7 years after this video was posted and it's still helping people. bless you for this
9 years now, lol
10 years now
10 years now
11years lol
It’s crazy that even 8 years later your video is helping people.
Ikr I was reading the excerpt my professor assigned, and didn’t understand the story until this vid.
omg!! thank you so much.!! I am an international student In ELAC. I read the story 3 times!! Can't figure out what the hell they were talking about... When the professor asked me what they are talking about, I answered "tattoo" . Worst day of my life
Lorance Luo I didn't understand it either even after reading it twice. One of my classmates had to explain it to me. I felt like a dunce.
😂
😂👍
lol
So I was in mid anxiety attack because I couldn’t understand this story and I had a deadline, and then like an angel you came upon my feed and save me so thank you very much 😊
REALLY good explanation! I am so terrible at deciphering these stories but you made it so clear and simple. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
You're welcome!
I love how you explain the theme and symbols in the story! Great job and thank you very much!
I'm so happy that this helped you! Hemingway is tough because his dialogue can be cryptic. He uses "sub-text," which means that the characters imply a lot rather than saying things directly. The reader has to infer and "hear" what they are REALLY saying by "reading between the lines." A challenge!
I wish I had a video on "A Clean, Well-lighted Place" for you. That's a good suggestion for the next one! Thanks.
10 years and on. This video helped me understand the story better.
tnx for removing confuses. I really started to think a real white elephant in the story.
I can't believe that you are helping nearly all my assignments get done.
Many compliments!
You have gotten me through sooo many English assignments even when I understand the story I watch your videos.
I love you!! You explain things so clearly. Never stop doing these videos! Because I can truly say that your videos help so many people have a better understanding of these complicated stories.
Jazmin Hernandez Thank you so much! I'm so glad these are useful!
It actually was like a whole novel in a short story. I like the theme, the simpliciity of Hemingway, and especially your walking us through it to see the different layers of it. Thank yoU !
she posted this video n Dec 2012 and it is helping me now in 2021 with my college English class, Thank you God bless you, stay safe.
12 YEARS LATER. Thank you!!!!!
This is relaxing to listen too
8years later and your still blessing confused students 😭 your explanation was so good ugh! Thank you ! Thank you! Thank you !!
You're welcome!! It's a pleasure.
Yes, I agree! The train station definitely represents a transition for both of them! I guess the man thinks that other people in the station were waiting "reasonably", because unlike the other people are all heading to whatever amazing journey, their relationship will probably end up afterwards..
This brings so much clarity to me about the point of the story! Thank you so much for helping me understand.
You're welcome! Glad to help!
WELL-EXPLAINED !! THANK YOU SO MUCH !! HOPE THIS CAN HELP FOR MY REPORTING TOMORROW !!
You're welcome! Hope it helps!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, you have helped me so much with my English class. You're great at this!!! You're amazing!

Very well stated. I have read and studied this story continually since high school and you elaborated beautifully upon the characters' psychology, which of course is the meat of the story itself. Thank you.

Great video! However, there is so much symbolism in this story that was left out. If only you were the sixtyminutescholar
You're so right!
Thank you ma'am your a big help to my studies especially Literature
This certainly helped me here in AZ. Now I know why the teacher told us to NOT wait until the night before to write our papers. I appreciate it!
I'm so glad this helped you! Good luck with that paper!
I love all of your insight on short story fiction. You have helped me lots.

Thank you so much. I've watched 3 or 4 of you videos, and they are really helping me out in my English class. thanks so much.
You're very welcome. So glad to help!
I'M SO GLAD I FOUND THIS!!!!
I really liked what you said about them being at a train station, and that's a place where you stop and move on. I didn't see it like that, too bad I already submitted my paper like a week ago, that would have really made a point. Cool video! Have a good one and post more! :)
Thanks for doing these videos. Your all your analysis are great, and you're fantastic.
good for my LIT class, thanks
Hello can you please help me with a question my professor asked me to answer but I'm so confused "in what two or three ways does the American prove how dumb he is ?"
BROOKS I wish my classes were LIT
Oh my goodness thank you so much for this! You're explaination made me understand this story so much more! Keep up the amazing work! :D
You're godsend lmao every single text I need explained. I always stumble on your videos
I read this story twice and tried to figure out if I was missing something. I was, I missed the whole thing. First I thought it was about them drinking absinthe, then I re read and found something about an operation, thinking maybe breast implants, or something, but it wasn't an option when this story was written. So I Googled around a bit and found this video and it cleared it up completely. Thanks!
Thank you for you're insight, bless you! awesome work
THANK YOU please don't stop doing these, you got a knack!
Thanks! You made my day. It's fun to make these, so, yes, I'll keep doing them!
Wow, thanks! You made my day! I'm so glad that this helped you. :-)
This was a phenomenal analysis!! Thank you!
Thank you this was very helpful and you do a very good job at explaining love the pace.
I just want you to know how much you have helped me! thank you so much!!
amazing analysis
Thank you so much for making this video. I read the story several times to find out the meaning of the word 'operation', but poor me I did not find. Now I got it. operation - abortion.
I just found your videos and I'm truly thankful you've taken the time to make them. I have such trouble understanding Hemingway and had drawn my own conclusion, but watching this made it so clear. :D
Sometimes it just takes another's thoughts to make it all clear. :) I also watched your video over Everyday Use by Alice Walker. You did wonderful on it. After watching and then reading it once again it all clicked! :)
Thank you and I'm suggesting your videos to my friend. :)
I didn't know that the story was this deep. Thanks for the explanation! Keep on making analysis videos!
You're so welcome! I'm glad that these videos are useful to you. That makes my day!
Professor, this is what I thought it was, but she was more political than I was in my thoughts, but the same ending.
It was very good video and thank you. A great way to do the lesson.
I know I'm late to this video, but I am currently working on a paper and this helped a lot. Thank you so much. : )
I like the way you explained this story. I'm doing it for one of my college classes. I have an oral presentation tomorrow !
