Question Questions: A Moveable Feast, By Ernest Hemingway
Book talk Question Answer guideline.
My book is A Moveable feast, by Ernest Hemingway. He was the most obnoxious and incredible writer i've ever read.
It's about a young extremely poor writer (Ernest Hemingway) and his journeys throughout Paris. The book is centered around him, tons of amazing writers and the city itself. He speaks of many people he met who evolved him and his writing, things he loved doing, along with things that he didn't. You get a feel of his life style, preferences, struggles and the electric vibes of the city.
Ernest Hemingway- He was the writer and told all about his journey, emotions and thoughts throughout the text.
Scott Fitzgerald- Although he doesn't appear until much later in the novel, the largest chapter was

He had often spoke of how happy she made him throughout the novel. They always had many disagreements, yet he never failed to write about his love for her. I'm not really sure what happened.
4) A moveable feast took place in Paris, France. It took place throughout different quadrants of the city. He lived in the rather poor part which was where he often, ate, wrote and drank at. He often alternated between two main parts of the city. He often went to the more expensive parts of the city to go to horse races, meet friends and enjoy walking around in the atmosphere.
5) Text to text: I connected this novel to his other work because it shows how his writing had evolved along with his personality. He had turned corners from many different struggles in life along with going from one extreme to the other. I find it interesting how, in Paris he had longed after money yet when he got it, he realized it wasn't genuinely what he had wanted. Eventually he had accomplished everything he had set out to in terms of writing, yet it still was never enough for him and it shows throughout all of his

He had an ability to see things in the worst way and picture them in the brightest, vice versa. He was realistic yet still fairly optimistic. He had such a good value for everything and who he was, even if it was the world of times. He always had a grasp on what he was doing and worked at it until he got what he wanted, even if that meant not being able to afford to eat some days. I believe that for the most part the way he was living, in a beautiful city doing exactly what he loved was what everyone strives for in some way.
Text to self: I was in Paris for an extremely short amount of time. Everything he describes feels real. The bookstore that he borrowed books from to read and where he wrote sometimes, is where I bought his book. The atmosphere was incredible along with just knowing authors such as Hemingway and Fitzgerald had visited

    The book I chose this week is called "Tjatjakaymatchan (Coyote) A legend from Carmel Valley" by Alex O. Ramirez and is a Native American tale about why the coyote calls into the night. I would categorize this book as fiction because of the talking coyote and fox. I decided to read this book because of my Choctaw heritage and it reminded me that many first people languages and stories are vanishing into the time because they not written down most of the time. The most interesting piece of information that I found was about why this book was published and it was because the writer's friends encouraged him to write down his memories of his Elders so that they would not fade into time. I also thought his illustrations were interesting because unlike…

    My choice book is called Anthem by Ayn Rand and it was published in 1946. This book is about a boy who is frowned upon by his elders and peers because of his height. He struggles with lots of issues regarding school and trying to get the job he wants. This book was placed in the future so there are people who control what job he gets by looking at him and his appearance and they tell him what career he is going to work at, for the rest of his life.

    Although Ernest Hemingway sees Gertrude Stein as a mentor and motherly figure, he mainly portrays her as a self-righteous, domineering, and critical woman. In the beginning, Hemingway described Gertrude Stein as cordial and friendly with "beautiful eyes and a strong German-Jewish face" which reminded him of a "peasant woman". These physical descriptions of Gertrude, by Hemingway, can be interpreted as his conception of her being an old, matronly-unwed and childless-woman. Including this, and even though Gertrude Stein helped immerse Hemingway into the writing scene and coach him as his writing mentor, Gertrude Stein was still characterized as an incredibly critical old matriarch-hag. Gertrude consistently made excessively opinionated accusations of Hemingway's "lost generation"; calling them criminals and perverts who only partake in "the pleasure of corruption" and striving towards leading everyone around them to the hedonistic lifestyle of drinking and drugs. She also declared other "inaccrochable" writers of Hemingway's age as corrupters, vicious, pitiful, and sick. Gertrude was extraordinarily domineering and condescending.…
