2#  "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was an intersting book, but i wouldn't say that it was my kind of book. The main reason I kept reading was because I wanted to find out when they were going to blow the bridge. The main reason I was let down was beacuse the language they used for some of it was old spanish and I didn't really understand it at all.One of my favorite parts would probably be how they still managed to blow up the bridge even though they lacked certain materials. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes romance or suspensful thrillers.

pg.157
"Is she all right?... she looked ill before"
 I thought this was an interesting chapter that almost high-lighted Pilar in a way.In this chapter you can see how Pilar feels about Maria and how she envy's Maria's looks and Youth. It almost troubles Pilar just being around Maria. I didn't really noticed the effect Maria's looks had on Pilar until this chapter. It's astonishing to see the affects that one character has on another.

pg.116
"In this town...and later burned "
I choose this quote because it was the first time Robert Jordan talked a little about his childhood. As he shares his past experiences with the people around him, They are shocked and in disbelief that such an event would take place. I think that Robert Jordan is starting to compare himself to those barbarians that hung the negro when he was little. He may not know it but he is becoming a brute just like the rest of the people fighting in the war.
