As with all the chapters in "A Moveable Feast", this weeks readings were about relationships and all the effects and lessons that they taught Hemingway. The next three chapters, I believe, had to do with death: naturally and spiritually.

"The Man Who Was Marked for Death" discussed Ernest Hemingway's new relationship with a poet, Ernest Walsh. Hemingway describes him as being "marked for death". Although he never fully explains what he means by this statement, it is inferred that Walsh is not a upright man and that he is dying slowly of disease. I think that Hemingway saw Walsh as a conman. Even years after Walsh's death Hemingway discussed with another writer, Joyce, about how Walsh had promised them both, and possibly many others, the same prestigious award.

In "Evan Shipman at the Lilas", Hemingway meets with his friend and fellow writer, Evan Shipman, at a restaurant, the Lilas. They discuss the change in management and how it was going to affect their dear friends, Andre and Jean, who were bartenders there. The new owners were changing the menu and controlling the workers appearances. Forcing them to die spiritually, because they are having to change the essence of who they are.

In the chapter "An Agent of Evil", Hemingway recounts a time where he delivers a jar of opium to a dying writer, Dunning. However, when he gave it to him, Dunning began throwing things at him and yelling obscenities. Although I cannot explain his reaction to this, I believe that Dunning might have thought that Hemingway was working with the police, or something, therefore making him an "agent of evil".
