After tasted Hemingway’s “style”, I gained something.

First of all, the emotion matters. Different weather will bring different feelings to the readers: sunny makes people happy, cloudy indicates a mixture of hesitation and worry, snowy means sadness especially the hearts are frozen, rainy always produce a sadness such as crying (dropping tears), and storm brings up people’s madness and violence. In this book, the weather transforms from rain with thunder to light rain. Henry’s “I’m afraid of rain because I can see I will die soon.” reveals his fear of death, one of the characteristics of “Code Hero”, which means if he died, everything is about to end. The “rain” indicates his fragile but strong heart, aiming for all he needs when worrying he may potentially lose it. The rain, the darkness, end, in his mind.

Furthermore, losing something is not horrible, but the attitude on how you will deal with the losing, one of the natural phenomena, is vital. The most important factor, the environment, sometimes can make substantial impact on people. If people live under unpleasant atmosphere such as war (World War I or II), battle (Iran-U, or widespread virus, it’s quite reasonable than they cannot adjust their mood shortly. If people cannot keep away from the negative emotions, they would never have chance to feel the happiness. Losing something is not abnormal, even the thing seems really precious to yourself, but we still have numerous opportunities to obtain it.

You cannot overturn the environment, but you’re capable of changing yourself!
