The Sun Also Rises: Liberal Use of Dialogue by Hemingway The remarkable thing about the book was its liberal use of dialogue and how Hemingway used it to carry the reader through the book. There was no plot in the book in the sense that there was no twists‚ intrigue‚ or goals for any of the characters and the dialogue was the only thing that moved the reader through the book. Hemingway used so much dialogue that it was difficult at times to follow who was saying what‚ but I believe this didn’t matter
