The Sun Also Rises (Annotated) Study Guide and Aid
* Study Guide
This is a 48 Page breakdown of Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises".This study aid gives detail summaries and analysis of each chapter as well the understanding. This includes plots, character analysis, themes, symbols, quotations, and key facts from the work.
My study aids are well put together in an easy to read format that will guarantee success. Unlike other postings, I have included a snip below on how my study aids are written and analyzed.
Example Summary from Chapter 1
The first chapter is a portrait of Robert Cohn, drawn by his friend (and the book's narrator) Jake Barnes. Keep in mind that Jake Barnes is not Hemingway, nor is he always completely reliable as a narrator. Jake has very strong beliefs that can cloud his judgment, so you should not trust everything he tells you. Robert Cohn is a good case in Jake makes him out to be the book's villain, but don't blindly accept this. Some readers consider Cohn the hero of the book.
Robert Cohn comes from a wealthy Jewish family. He went to Princeton at a time when the school was filled with socially prominent white Anglo-Saxons. As a Jew, he was made to feel like an outsider. Too shy and gentle to attack the school's anti-Semitism straight on, he turned to boxing and became the school's middleweight champion. This was his only success, and years later none of his classmates even remembers him.
At school Cohn developed a "painful self-consciousness," probably because he could never forget he was a Jew and an outsider. Self- consciousness is seen by Jake and his friends as a sign of weakness. They have no patience or sympathy for a person who is easily ruffled and who cannot distance himself from his feelings. To Jake and the others, it's better to know who you are and to accept yourself without apologies or regrets. Cohn, on the contrary, is always blind to his faults. His blindness gets him and others into trouble.
