    The life experiences and values of Ernest Hemingway converge with his scholarly work. Hemingway lived a life that was marked my pain, depression, and abuse from the day of his birth to the end of his existence. The stories he wrote deeply analyzed the troubles, curses, and damnation of life itself. His writing style was critiqued by literary scholars as both very detailed and fluid or simply lacking structure, going from climax to very low points. The stories he told through his unique novels actively focused on religion, gender roles, and society as a whole. It is extremely difficult to begin to visualize and imagine the pain and suffering Hemingway experienced throughout his 62 years of life. He had a variety of mental health disorders that stemmed from his sad upbringing and from his family’s history of having mental health problems. Earnest Hemingway has seen more high and lows in sixty two years than most people see in a lifetime.…
