.... about the time period in question. All of the "messages" bring the reader to an understanding of a generation, the "lost generation" that appears to result from Hemingway's novel.

One begins to become emotionally involved and attached to Hemingway's many stories, just as he himself appears to hold some personal attachment and emotion to each story.
