How does the setting ultimately mirror the relationship of this couple? Use the second and third paragraphs for support.

"Ten years later there was nothing of the mill except for the broken white limestone.."(Hemingway 79). This brokenness represents that their relationship is slowly falling apart and broken.

Based on the quote above ("There's our old ruin") explain Hemingway's choice of diction.

Used his and straight to the point style to tell us that the mill is something special to them.

The action of the story (fishing) symbolizes the struggle of the couple. Discuss how this is so.

She struggled to catch the fish just like she struggled to catch Nick's heart, fishing takes hard work and time which is not shown.

Reflect on the title—is it strong? Weak? Too vague? Why do you think this was his choice?

The title is strong because it tells you the deeper meaning of the story and it is what the story is about.

It's clear from Marjorie's comment, "There's our old ruin," that she and Nick have known each other a long time (at least ten years). What is your perception of these characters as individuals? As a couple? What kinds of things do you sense about them? Support.

They would be stronger as individuals because they have a crumbling relationship and I sense that they might have worked at the mill together that is where their relationship started

Marjorie says, "Isn't love any fun?" What is your response to this question? Yes/no? Why/why not?

Well It is not fun anymore for Nick

Marjorie senses that something is wrong. She asks him, "What's the matter, Nick?" Can you relate to her intuition (and likely sense of dread) in this story? Elaborate.

Yes because Nick Nick is unresponsive and is not involved in the conversation.
