“A Clean Well- Lighted Place”
The story “A Clean Well
Lighted Place”, was a story on how people need to find light to save themselves
from the dark. In the story the main people were two waitress’ and one was old
and was younger. Also there was one customer in the entire restaurant and it
was an old man. He was sitting in the bar all alone drinking non-stop. He was
trying to stay in the light and not go into the dark, which was outside,
because it was night time outside. In my opinion the point of this story is for
that some people just need to be in the light to be delighted. These people do
not want to be taken into the dark. Another thing that was cool was that in the
movie you could actually visualize what the light and dark means. And in the story
it was hard to see what was actually going on with the light and dark.
For
example at the beginning of the movie there were two waitress’ waiting for the
old man to finish up his drinking. They showed the two men sitting at a table
talking about the old man and life. But, while they were talking one guy, the
younger one, was completely under a shadow. A shadow is dark and that means
that he has been taken into the dark. The older guy was completely bright and
had a light shining over him. It was very clear on who had been taken into the
dark and the one who wanted to stay in the light. And in the book it was very
unclear on how to see who was in the dark, who wanted to go in the dark, etc.
Overall,
I say that it was unclear for me to understand what was going on in the book.
It was hard for me to understand what was happening with the whole light and
dark. Also what it meant to people. And then when I saw the movie I now understand
by seeing the movie what it meant to people and how it affected them.
