SAC PARAGRAPH - HEMINGWAY "UP IN MICHIGAN"

In the third paragraph of "Up In Michigan", Hemingway uses an unusually large amount of repetition and exposition. He places this at the very beginning of the story to give it emphasis and indicate that it is a major plot point. he starts off by simply stating that, "Liz liked Jim very much" and then continues to use the word 'like' no less than nine times more. The ridiculous amount of times the word that is used is comparable with Liz's ridiculous obbsession for Jim, and it gives us insight into how Liz thinks and feels. Because Hemingway provides basically nothin on characters thoughts, this paragraph is vital for figuring out why Liz responds the way she does, when she is abused by Jim.
