What is sound? Sound is a wave‚ a pattern—simple or complex‚ depending on the sound—of changing air pressure. Sound is produced by vibrations of objects.

Earnest Hemingway‚ in my opinion‚ is a story about a mans loneliness. The story starts out in an empty café‚ very late at night. Even the setting symbolizes gloominess.
