Robert Cohn

“I have never seen a man in civil life as nervous as Robert Cohn-nor as eager. I was enjoying it. It was lousy to enjoy it, but I felt lousy. Cohn had a wonderful quality of bringing out the worst in anybody.” (Hemingway 104)

To think that we were friends Jake, I cannot believe you have said this. I’ve been through so much and I don’t think I’m going to take any more insults from people that I call my “friends.” The only thing they are good for is to cause pain and embarrassment in my life. The only reason Jake said this was because he was jealous, not thinking before he speaks. It’s not my fault I had an affair with Brett. Just because you had your little “accident” and could not have a relationship with her, it doesn’t mean I can’t. The reason I acted like this was because I haven’t seen her since our visit to San Sebastian. I was eager and nervous at the same time. I’m sure she’s in love with me and I know this won’t be the last time we’ll be seeing each other. I don’t care what anyone says, Brett and I will end up together once again. I’m tired of people telling me what I can and can’t do. I’m going to stop caring about what people think, especially from people that have no morals and love to get drunk all the time. I’m mature enough to not say anything back but, next time something like this happens I’m going to stand up for myself, it won’t be pretty.
