Indifference is the Opposite

Believe me when I say this...
The worst of us hits,
With a strong fist,
So painful,
Damn,
I could never believe it.
I thought my life would be so easy,
But it isn't,
It’s so painful,
Sadly,
I wish I could make a stand than sit.
Nobody told me what to do in life,
Nobody stood next to me,
Nobody could understand the sights,
Understand that it’s hard to see,
The hardest par I ever shot,
The toughest fall I ever flopped,
The quickest bullet I heard pop,
And the worst part of all,
Is that I didn't want it to stop.

The book v.s. the game
Now in the video game world, it’s more prone to have some
sort of story relating to something that has been written, for the exceptions
of movies based on stories such as, “Star Wars,” “Harry Potter,” and a bunch of
superhero movies. But there is one game that I came across that was really
good, and did relate to a story written in real life that was published a
really long time ago, the game is called “Dante’s Inferno” and is based on
Dante Alighieri’s “Divine Comedy.” In the video game, you go through an
amazingly detailed setting of what the gaming designers and gaming producers
tried to bring Dante’s imagination to a virtual reality, and make it their own.
This game kind of

Behind Every Song, Is A Poem.
The best of poems are the ones that show art in life, and
even death. But even though it sounds a little dark, death in a poem is one of
the best ones because it reveals what the author really wants to say and wants
you to kind of understand. The emotional toll puts you in such a position where
you are vulnerable to its power. Poetry comes in all types, where you can even
find it in songs of all kinds of genres, rap, folk, rock, and many more. I just
listened to three different artists/bands

"A Clean Well Lighted Place"
"Last week he tried to commit suicide," one waiter said.
"Why?"
"He was in despair."
"What about?"
"Nothing."
"How do you know it was nothing?"
"He has plenty of money." (Hemingway 143)
Despair is a word which has it's toll. It brings people to their lowest potential, and it can bring out the worst in us, and even bring us to an end. I can see why the two waiters had their different views of the old man, he was a drunken old deaf man with nothing to live for, so why should he even bother? The two waiters feel indifference toward the old man. One says that he should have killed himself, while the other says that he was just lonely and had nobody to go to except his niece, but neither of them really care. I feel sympathy for the old man. I wish he would feel better about himself instead of falling into a depression, but it's not easy, once you feel despair, it isn't easy to get out of that feeling. I know when I say it's not easy, but this particular part of the story is what shows the tone of Hemingway and his style. Hemingway's style is shown especially through the way that the old man tried to commit suicide and the way that the older waiter tried to show his wisdom to the younger waiter about the old man's despair.
