Number of words: 1172 | Number of pages: 5.... life earlier, Absolom probably would not be in the trouble he is in now. Kumalo's self-centeredness is clear when he learns of the trouble Absolom is in: "Perhaps his son and the girl would go back with them to Ndotsheni, perhaps he and his wife would give to the child what they had failed to give their own. Yet where had they failed? What had they done, or left undone, that their son had become a thief, moving like a vagabond from place to place, living with a girl who herself was no more than a child, father of a child who would have no name? Yet he comforted himself, that was in Johannesburg." (Pg. 87.) Kumalo thinks about what .....

Francis Macomber In The Short
Number of words: 1237 | Number of pages: 5.... hunt. He is first presented in a "mock triumph", since he had only "half an hour before, been carried to his tent from the edge of the camp in triumph on the arms and shoulders of the cook, the personal boys, the skinner and the porters. The gun-bearers had taken no part in the demonstration" (Stallman 89) (Hemingway 1395).

The Sun Also Rises By Ernest H
Number of words: 384 | Number of pages: 2.... all of his friends eating at a restaurant and thinks to himself that he is too far behind to catch up. Jake always seems behind, or at least only a marginal player put so in his position because of his injury.
