Answers
HEYYYY
Hemingway has provided a picturesque scene of the bridge and the movement of the army across the river. It was a pontoon bridge (i.e., a temporary bridge made of flat-bottomed boats, floating objects etc.) A long caravan of carts, trucks, men, women and children were crossing it. The mule-drawn carts were staggering up the steep bank from the bridge with some difficulty. The peasants were also struggling up in the ankle-deep dust. But the old man, the protagonist of this story, sat still without making any signs of willingness to move. He was obviously too tired to go any farther.

The story “Old Man at the Bridge” by Earnest Hemingway is set in the backdrop of Spanish Civil War in 1938. It starts with the description of an old man who was sitting at a bridge. It was a war-like situation as the Fascists forces were advancing towards Ebro. Our narrator, a news reporter, was in the charge to cross a pontoon bridge to check the advancement of the enemy forces. He saw that an old man with steel rimmed spectacles and dusty clothes was sitting beside the road at the bridge while carts, trucks and people were crossing the bridge to get to a safe distance from the enemies.
