"It is awfully easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it is another thing." [page 42].
This quote reminded me of something I frequently think of. People are always afraid of the dark, but darkness is only absence of light. With that in mind, there is no darkness, only light and absence of light. When I get bored, my mind tends to wander to this thought. Hemingway embodies this thought of mine but changes it a little bit. It is always easy to be mad at someone during the day, but at night worries tend to drop away. When you are sleeping, it tends to be peaceful for the most part. Sleep is the time of the day that we do not have to worry about all of our troubles and afflictions we have had thrust upon us. So in this thinking, I don't really believe in darkness, because nothing is actually different in the dark besides the light being absent. Deep thinking right there. :]
There is also some parallelism on the next page [43].
"She was standing looking away, the thread in her folded hands. The man was urging two tourists to buy."
Basically every good writer uses parallelism though...so unfortunately it's not as exciting to write about.
