Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway belonged to the modernist literary movement. He is known for his minimalist writing style and portrayal of the "Lost Generation" in post-World War I society. Hemingway's works often explore themes of war, masculinity, and the human condition.

In "The Old Man at the Bridge," Hemingway uses a minimalist and economical writing style. He focuses on showing rather than telling, using precise language to convey emotion and atmosphere. Hemingway's use of sparse dialogue and imagery allows the reader to infer the deeper themes and meanings in the story.

Ernest Hemingway wrote most of his major works around the same time as F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Steinbeck, and William Faulkner. These authors were part of the "Lost Generation" and the "Southern Gothic" literary movements of the 1920s and 1930s.

"The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway takes place in the month of September, off the coast of Cuba.

Ernest Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899

20 years has been considered to be a generation.

However, with many people in industrialized countries waiting until their 30s to have their first child, some are now considering one generation to be 25 or even 30 years.

Also, in a non-quantitative sense, one generation is simply the children of one person or couple, and the next generation is all the grandchildren of that person or couple, and so on for each succeeding generation.

He was a hunter of Big Game.

------------

Hemingway was rejected from the U. S. military services on several occassions. His poor eyesight prefented him from taking his place as a member of the U. S. infantry, a position he much desired. In 1917 he was able to join the Red Cross and was sent to the Italian front as part of the American contribution to shore up Italian morale.

Hemingway served as an ambulance driver until 8 July 1918 when he was seriously wounded. He was repaitriated to the U. S. before the end of the war.

Fromhttp://www.umich.edu/~eng217/student_projects/HemingwayWW1/farewell%20to%20arms.htmlHemingway's, A Farewell to Arms, closely relates to his own life. This book retells his experiences during World War 1. Lieutenant Frederic Henry is a model of Hemingway and Catherine Barkley is like Agnes von Kurowsky. A Farewell to Armsbegins with Frederic being injured from the waist down, from a trench mortar shell. This is during World War 1 and he is on the Italian's side. Frederic is taken to a hospital in Milan where he falls in love with Catherine Barkley. She is a nurse that Frederic met before he was injured that he became infatuated with. Catherine gets herself placed to work in the hospital that Frederic is in. Frederic falls madly in love with Catherine. They have an affair throughout the book and she becomes pregnant. In the end, their baby dies during birth and Catherine dies soon after. There are many similarities between Hemingway and the character, Frederic. Obvious similarities are that both author and character were ambulance drivers, were wounded from the waist down, stayed in a hospital in Milan, got a medal for his courage, and had relations with a nurse (4). Frederic also acquired some of Hemingway's little traits and memories. For instance, when Hemingway was injured he said, "My feet felt like I had rubber boots full of water on. Hot water. And my knee cap was acting queer." When Frederic was injured he said, "My legs felt warm and wet and my shoes were wet and warm inside. I knew that I was hit and leaned over and put my hand on my knee. My knee wasn't there." Hemingway even said that the passage from A Farewell to Arms was an accurate account of what had happened to him (5). Even though the end of the story was different than Hemingway's life, both stories are tragic. Both Hemingway and Frederic get left alone and hurt, without their love. It is related to Romeo and Juliet's tragedy. Frederick "establishes a connection with the world in his love affair with Catherine and in doing so, becomes humanly alive. That she dies does not negate his experience; it pushes him into the position of the Major (see Nick Adams page)who also had trouble in resigning himself."(6) Fromhttp://www.umich.edu/~eng217/student_projects/HemingwayWW1/farewell%20to%20arms.htmlHemingway's, A Farewell to Arms, closely relates to his own life.

Here's Alistair MacLeod's short story, "The Boat", is a short story told from the perspective of a boy living in Cape Breton (Canada's East coast) in around 1940s (ish). It is about the reality of the harsh life style that fisherman in Nova Scotia lead. The story is told when the boy has grown up, but he is talking about his childhood. The central character is the boys father, a fisherman who has never really liked the fishing lifestyle and who clearly would have preferred to get an education. Many times it is pointed out that he values education, for example his room is descried as being full of books, however he never had the chance. He would like for his son to get an education and not have to live the dangerous and harsh lifestyle he does- the lifestyle that ends up killing him. The conflicts in this short story are between the narrators mother and father, as his mother does not share the same feeling about education and escaping from the fishing world that the father does. She is conservative in that she wants everything to remain the same, and therefore struggles to isolate both herself and her family from the 'outside' societyes (the tourists and larger cities). She especially did not approve of her daughters leaving Cape Breton, as she made very clear when she said "it seems none of them are interested in any of the right things... I hope you'll be satisfied when they come home knocked up". The second, and more important, conflict is the narrator's internal conflict; he wants to study, but realizes that he is the only son and the only one who can support his parents and follow in the fishing business.

Because he enjoys watching the game, and thinks it is very interesting. Like Santiago in the Old Man and the Sea

Ernest Hemingway was exiled to Idaho, USA, after losing his property in Cuba. He lived on a farm in Ketchum, Idaho, where he ultimately passed away.

Santiago embarks on a sea journey (life) and encounters a giant marlin (treasure). He battles nobly to earn the treasure and then fights the sharks (problems) to save it. The struggle defines him as a hero. Even though he loses the treasure (the marlin) to the sharks (the problems), he has won the sea battle (life).
