AUTHOR’S BIOGRAPHY
Ernest Hemingway was born in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1899, the son of a doctor and a music teacher. He began his writing career as a reporter for the Kansas CityStar. At age eighteen, he volunteered to serve as a Red Cross ambulance driver in World War I and was sent to Italy, where he was badly injured by shrapnel. Hemingway later fictionalized his experience in Italy in what some consider his greatest novel, A Farewell to Arms. In 1921, Hemingway moved to Paris, where he served as a correspondent for the Toronto Daily Star. In Paris, he fell in with a group of American and English expatriate writers that included F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, and Ford Madox Ford. In the early 1920s, Hemingway began to achieve fame as a chronicler of the disaffection felt by many American youth after World War I—a generation of youth whom Stein memorably dubbed the “Lost Generation.” His novels The Sun Also Rises (1926) and A Farewell to Arms (1929) established him as a dominant literary voice of his time. His spare, charged style of writing was revolutionary at the time and would be imitated, for better or for worse, by generations of young writers to come. After leaving Paris, Hemingway wrote on bullfighting, published short stories and articles, covered the Spanish Civil War as a journalist, and published his best-selling novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). These pieces helped Hemingway build up the mythic breed of masculinity for which he wished to be known. His work and his life revolved around big-game hunting, fishing, boxing, and bullfighting, endeavors that he tried to master

    John Green’s The Fault In Our Stars is not a very ambitious book. It only seeks to explore the meaning of life and death. Throughout the book, Green presents contrasting views about the meaning of life (and death). On one hand, Green explores various human emotions involving the idea of wanting to keep alive someone whose death is inevitable; but Green also presents the perspective that emotions are just a side effect of evolution.…

    It’s almost been two months since Augustus died. I feel pain everytime I think of him, like I’ve taken out my cannula and have no oxygen, I can’t breath, like I’m slowly slipping away into nothingness. My need to see him is growing, with every tear stained moment, my want to hear his sexy tone of voice, or to see his crooked smile one last time is worsening. Oh, what I wouldn’t do to see my star crossed lover one last time. He gave me a forever within the numbered days, and for that, I will love him always.…

    From the very first time Hemingway embarked on his historic writing journey, he exhibits through his written works and actions how a “hero” should conduct himself/herself. Hemingway often partook in hunting, fishing, and could be seen attending Spanish bullfights. Hemingway uses these experiences, and the ones he gained from World War II to enhance his already superb writing. Admirers often praise Hemingway for how he believes a man should live his life, and how he also emulates this belief in his characters by “tying the life of the hero…

    Ernest Hemingway’s writing typically took place throughout the World War II era. His works are bleak and dismal, and describe that undertone well. Hemingway was not a very cheerful person, but puts on a good, brave face for everyone. He wrote more than a few short stories about war, all the stories having the same type theme of soldier’s struggle to fit back into society that does not understand what the soldier’s have gone through while away. Many critics believe that these stories are based on his life experiences, but are fictional stories. The emotions that are in the stories can seem real to the readers. He went through a lot of tragedies in his life. In many of his short stories they begin from his childhood to a grown…

    Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois at his family's Victorian home. He is known as one of the greatest writers of American literature in the twentieth century. Even today, Hemingway's mythological character fascinates and at times bewilders literary critics and readers. Frequently, his writings recreated the events of his life, some of which caused him much distress. He was married four times during his sixty-one years, but the first two marriages appear to have had the greatest fundamental impact on his life. In "Hills Like White Elephants," Hemingway re-evaluates his own experiences in terms of relationships and his decision to father children.…
