Short and Quick

The style used in The Sun Also Rises is much different than other books I have read. First of all the dialogue between the characters is very short and quick most of the time. For me, it seems very choppy when read through quickly. So far the tone of this story has neither been happy nor sad. Instead, its been very ponderous with limited conflict. Cohn has also appeared to be a troubled man who is going through personal problems that resemble a mid-life crisis. Back to the subject of the diction and dialogue, the quick and choppy dialogue between the characters could symbolize how life goes by quick. This was also something that had been troubling Robert Cohn in chapter two when he wanted to travel to Spain. But an example of this choppy dialogue can be found on pages 19 through 21 with the conversation between Robert Cohn and Jake. Personally I like this dialogue because it moves through the book quicker and simpler.
