Good times bring people together

Total strangers meeting up in today's world probably would not become fast friends. Hoever, in a time such as the mid 20's, where most men were just happy to be alive, it seems fitting that Harris, Barns, and Bill become such close friends so quickly. A little drinking, a little liesure time, and soon enough they are exchanging addresses and cards. "I say Barnes. You don't know wat this means to me. You really can't." (Hemingway 134.) These guys are just enjoying life, forgetting about the past, and moving on. And having a great time doing. it. A little liquor can change a lot of things. And it chagned thses men's relationship quite quickly.
