Esme With Love And Squalor And The Sun: An Analysis

After reading J.D. Salinger’s book (For Esme with love and Squalor) and Ernest Hemingway’s book (The Sun also rises), I found a lot of similarity between each of the writer’s character. Salinger used Sergeant X and Hemingway used Jack to connote the things that the America’s soldiers passed through at the time of war. These themes were exile from their homeland, the emotional effects of the war on the soldiers, and their lack of communication.
Well we all knew that for anyone to be able to take part in a war, he or she has to leave his or her father land to the other neighboring country where they intended to combat. Likewise, Salinger and Hemingway were able to use Sergeant X and Jack to talk about the exile that happened in the phase of the

To be asked upon or to be reminded of what happened in the war is like a suicide steps for them to climb. Many of us had tried to ask anyone close to us that had fought in the war, say the Vietnam War.

In addition, these two soldiers were ashamed of themselves to let know to the public and to their friends around them to acknowledge the things that they were passing through. They never told anyone about their experiences of the war. Even they failed to let their friends known the challenges that they were facing. In Salinger’s book, Esme interviewed Sergeant X, in doing so, she wanted to know how it went in the war. Many questions that Esme asked Sergeant X, Sergeant X was unable to answer them all. He pretended as a patient that only talked whenever he was called upon to talk. Likewise the same way that Jack did. Jack failed to compose himself in letting Brett known that he truly loved her. Jack also did not know how to communicate himself to his male folks. His lack of communication brought depression to this friend around him.

His communication problem usually resulted in fight. He usually He usually fought his male friend because they could not understand his body languages, his ways of doing things or his personal temperaments. Not to forget that even though he communicated with his friend Georgette about the war, he preferred to discuss on the positive side of the war like he explained that he would be ok if they were not disturbed in the cost of the war.
