A Farewell to Arms chapter NINE part ONE

I HATE it when anyone uses the term “authoritarian leadership” because it is completely inaccurate. Authoritarianism is not leadership. It is the enforcement of obedience to an arbitrary authority figure at the expense of personal freedom (that includes personal safety & survival). Authoritarians are characterized by their lack of concern for others; making them completely antithetical to genuine leaders. My name is Tricia Sulpizio & I am your host for another episode of tea & bedtime stories, a podcast for anyone who likes stories & stories about stories. In this episode, we will continue reading A Farewell to Arms, a novel by Ernest Hemingway, published in 1929. Last time, we read chapter EIGHT in book ONE, & now I will continue the story with chapter NINE. It’s a long chapter so I will be reading it in TWO parts. We will begin with part one. After reading half of the chapter, I will follow up with quick facts & my impressions. I look forward to talking to you soon. Thanks for listening!

A Farewell to Arms chapter NINE part TWO

Warning!!!: In this chapter there are graphic descriptions of bodily injury & death. If you’d rather not hear the violent & gruesome details of war, I recommend skipping ahead to chapter TEN. When we ended part one of chapter nine, the lieutenant & 4 mechanics who had be enlisted as ambulance drivers were sitting in a shallow dug-out, eating spaghetti & cheese, drinking stale wine, & listening to the artillery & machine gun fire & explosions creeping closer on all sides of their position.

Last time, we read chapter NINE part ONE in book ONE, & now I will continue the story with chapter NINE part TWO. After reading the chapter, I will follow up with quick facts & my impressions. There are only 3 chapters left in book one. I will be changing-up the format of the podcast for book two. I’m excited to learn whether or not it makes a big difference in your experience as the listener. I put my email in the description & would love to hear your thoughts.
