A Moveable Feast



In the memoir by Ernest Hemingway A Moveable Feast Gertrude Stein is presented as some what of a "smarty pants". In the book she seems to think that no matter what she says is always right, making her some what obnoxious. For instance Hemingway tries to talk to her about one of Aldous Huxley's book that he read, but all she is "Why do you read this trash? It is inflated trash, Hemingway. By a dead man." Nothing seemed like it was going to change her mind. She even tell him, " 'Don't argue with me, Hemingway,' Miss Stein said. 'It does no good at all."
Based on Hemingway's descriptions from A Movable Feast the one place that i would want to visit would be the Musée du Luxembourg. One reason is that I visited the Luxembourg Gardens and never got to the the Musée. Also it would be nice to see the painting that were hung there because the painting might not be as popular as the ones at the Louvre and it would be neat to see some of the painting of different artists displayed there that you might have not heard of before. "the Musée du Luxembourge where the great paintings were that have now mostly been transferred to the Louvre and the Jeu de Paume."
