What's your mood today?

The mood of this piece is laid back, carefree, and a total disregard for consequences. The people in this book are cleaning up the remains of th war they fought in, and they are alive. They want to have a new appreciation for what they do have, forgetting about what could happen. They are getting drunk on every page, and several are having maritals without the mariage. This was becoming the norm, and unfortunaly, set the mold for what we live by today. Tradionally people only drank wine in Europe because the water quality is so poor. Yet the characters are simply drinking to drink."Let us utilize the product of the vine. Is this all we've got?' 'Just the two bottles'" (Hemmingway 127.) Two bottles of wine is plenty to get a perso drunk, and these people are dissapointed when they do not have more. Self control is sorely needed i nthis time period, as these people think they are living, yet they are driving themselves closer to their graves.
