Question and Thesis

Question: In A Clean, Well Lighted Place, why does Hemingway include instances of first-person narration with the older waiter?

Thesis: Hemingway uses the occasional first person to provide a deeper characterization on the older waiter by giving the reader the advantage of seeing him from two perspectives.

  1. What does he reveal? You don't have to include this in your thesis, but build on that. Is there a contradiction between the third and first person narration in the story? What typifies that contrast?
