Assignment #5

#1
The summary of part five for my book was, once again, about Jake and Brett. This time it included a little more of a love triangle. Brett met a bull fighter named Romero, who adores Brett, while Jake is still in love with Brett, but Brett still does not want to be with Jake that way. Brett still has intentions of leading Jake on but doesn't want to seriously be with him. It starts off with Bill, Jake, Cohn, Romero, Brett, and Edna all hanging out and having a good time. Of course Jake does not like the fact that Lady Brett is with another guy, he would rather have her in his arms any day, but being the man he is lets it go just so that Brett could be happy. Sometime later Brett and Romero leave Pamplona to be together. After a while Jake receives two telegrams: one from Paris and the other from Pamplona. The telegrams were from Brett saying that she was "in trouble," but when Jake went to her rescue she was in no real danger. Brett just wanted to get away from Romero because she didn't want to be a girl Romero wanted her to be, she simply just wanted to be Brett. In the end of the book, Brett finally admits that she would have loved to be with Jake, but sometimes words can be spoken a little to late, even though he still feels the same.

One thing that I liked about the book was the fact that it seemed realistic. The characters and their personality, their conflicts, their love life, or their secret love life. I felt like I could possibly know somebody with these situations, I mean less mellow drama, but still feels like it would be the same. As for my favorite part, I really don't have just one I have a few. My favorite parts of the book were ones that involved Jake. He was so generous and caring. The way he treated Brett, even though she never really ended up with him, he never betrayed her and was always there for her no matter what. Favorite part, none. Favorite character, Jake! So, with that I would have to say yes, I would recommend this book to plenty of people. The entire book itself was well written and the issues these characters have, I am sure that one out of every five people can relate to them, are real issues people have in the real world. Love triangles, confusion on love, secret affairs, who are your real friends? All of this, and plenty more, are what people look for in a book; something that people can relate to.
