Ch.1 - Ch.2

I wouldn't want my kids to read The Sun Also Rises because I don't want them to think that guys/males should have lots of money to get a family. The character, Robert Cohn, loses his wife and three children because he didn't have any money left and when he used most of his fifty-thousand-dollar inheritance from his father. This book also gives the wrong impression that the women would walk away if the men doesn't have money.Then later on the story, when he was doing well with his novel writing, he meets Frances Clyne. As she begins to age, she wants to make Cohn to marry her while she is still beautiful. I don't want my daughter to think that she has to get married when she's young because when she gets older, she wouldn't be able to get married. I want her to meet someone she likes and get married when they both are ready.

Also, I don't want my children to read how Cohn publishes his novel and suddenly several women act "nice" towards him. I don't want men to think that if they are successful, all the women would just swoon for them. It gives me the impression that the women just follow money and leave when the men don't have any money.

Even though all of those things are bad, I liked one of the quotes. "You can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another." I've realized that just by moving from one place to another doesn't make you into another person. You have to accept things and try to change them. It is useless to try to escape the problem. Everyone needs to face it and try to alter it somehow to live with it.
