Reading Response--A Clean, Well-lighted Place


Write a brief analysis of the two waiters.  What do they represent about life? What does the café symbolize?

The younger waiter is disrespectful compared to the older waiter. I think this is because the younger man has a family to get home too, while the older waiter may understand of know where the man is coming from. The waiters correspond to a impolite man that may not care about anyone but himself and a kind and wise man that is attentive to others. I think that the café symbolizes that the old man is alone, depressed, because normally when people go to a café/bar late at night and continue to drink the rest of the night away they have a problem or situation currently going on in their life and going to the café is their solution to solving this problem.
