In A Farewell to Arms, one of the things Hemingway seems
to be saying is that war has a really profound effect on
people's minds once they ve participated in it. Even the title
suggests that one of the story's real concerns is how
Henry is going to be able to mentally leave the war behind,
ELSA
I think so too. And it's clear that he has a hard time
detaching himself from the life of the soldier. He acts really
cool, but at times it's obvious that the war has gotten to
him. Like when he shoots the engineer who can't get the
car unstuck. Henry is clearly a guy carrying around a lot of
stress

Is it possible that the title has a double meaning, though?
Is it possible that 'arms' refers not just to the war but to
something else as well?
ZOE:
Oh, definitely. It's also 'arms" in a romantic sense, for sure.
One of the themes of the novel seems to be that the world
is a pretty cruel place, so it's not just a matter of Henry
having to say farewell to the war, but to the idea that the
world has room for things like love and beauty. It's a pretty
dark story

Read the passage. excerpt from "why equal pay is worth fighting for" by senator elizabeth warren, april 17, 2014 i honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014. when i started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. women have made incredible strides since then. but 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work. women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation. bloomberg analyzed census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. in 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. that's not an accident; that's discrimination. the effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long lasting. today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. . for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by, and many families depend as much on mom's salary as they do on dad's, if not more. women are the main breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much harder for these families to stay afloat. women are ready to fight back against pay discrimination, but it's not easy. today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes. here in the senate, sen. barbara mikulski (d-md.) introduced the paycheck fairness act to give women the tools to combat wage discrimination. it would ensure that salary differences have something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not just because they are women. senator warren states that the effects of pay discrimination are long-lasting. is this a valid argument supported by accurate evidence? no; warren weakens her point by claiming that the paycheck fairness act would "give women the tools to combat wage discrimination." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women." no; warren weakens her point by noting, "today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes."
