" The Clean Well-Lighted Place

Once there was an old and a young waiter and they worked at the same bar where there was an old man who sat in the corner in shadows who was a little drunk. The old and the young waiter did not always get along or agree very much in the short story by Ernest Hemingway called “The Clean Well-Lighted Place”. There are many differences between young and old people.
  
Young and old people are different in my ways. Younger people can be either happily just married or still single and looking for someone to spend the rest of their life with. Older people can either be long and happily married or not married and my lonely or some people are not married and are happy with their life. In this story the old waiter was lonely and had no wife to go home to. Along the lines of the younger waiter he was married and had someone to go home to. My great grandmother lost her husband and now lives with my grandma and grandpa so she does not really have anyone to go home to. So as you can see there are many difference between young and old.
 
Relationships are not the only thing that old and young people do not have in common; they have different perspective on life. Older people can have more understanding about life and why some people doing things they do. The old waiter had more sympathy and understanding of the old man that was drunk in the corner. The young waiter said that I want to go home to his wife and that his life is more important than the old man's. Some people have more understand an life because of thing that happened in the past.
 
Young and old people are just in different states in their lives. Young people need to have a better understanding on life. They need to not be so stuck up and it is not all about them like the young waiter was.

South Dakota

Over this summer I went to South Dakota with my church. We drove 16 hours to The Black hills and we went to Mt. Rushmore on our way there. When we got to the camp we were staying at it was called Atlantic Mountain Ranch, we eat and slept there. The placethat we worked was an hour way. When we got there we help special needs kids ride horses. It was so must fun. We have a lot of fun with 10 girls and 40 hours of driving in a 15 passenger van.
