Abstract
This paper sets out to discuss Ernest Hemingway's novels and short stories conceptualizing his ideas of heroes facing life's harshness with dignity and grace which culminate in the Hemingway Code. The essay traces his works as well as various feminist scholars, but focuses on Hemingway's famous piece 'A Farewell to Arms' which the paper analyzes, especially in reference to the heroine Catherine Barkley.
From the Paper
Catherine does more than simply face unpleasant facts; she takes appropriate action as well. Her demeanor is calm and matter-of-fact, whether the activity in question involves giving Frederic an enema before surgery, dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, or helping Frederic escape to Switzerland to avoid imprisonment and execution. And, as she steadily handles one crisis after another, she continues to reassure her lover. "You mustn't mind, darling," she says about the baby, "I'll try and not make trouble for you" (138). Later, as they escape to Switzerland, she says fondly, "You're such a silly boy. But I'll look after you" (251).

Abstract
The concept of leadership has gained a large amount of attention in recent years, as sports have increased in popularity and researchers have placed an emphasis on determining the relationship between leaders, teams and performance. This paper examines the Multidimensional Model of Sport Leadership which states that optimal performance and satisfaction are achieved when leader's required, preferred and actual behaviors are consistent. The paper also discuses the many studies which have been conducted to try to develop or expand the knowledge of the topic of sport leadership.
From the Paper
"Chelladurai's research proposed the Multidimensional Model of Leadership, in which the characteristics of the leader and group members interact with situational factors, like the athletic program philosophy. Therefore, the specific characteristics of an effective leader are hypothesized to differ as a function of context. Thus, the sport leader characteristics that are the most effective for male basketball players may be different than the characteristics of effective leaders on a women's swim team.
A leader is one of the most important aspects of an organization. The major task of an athletic trainer is to get employees to perform their best. An athletic trainer, such as a coach, must complete successfully implement training schedules, and provide competing athletes with the skills needed to target the training objects. In addition, to handle a team, a leader must act as a friend, consultant, manager, psychologist, and funds collector of athletes."

Abstract
This paper discusses Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" and illustrates how the author broaches the brutality of war while juxtaposing it against the complexity of human emotions. The paper examines the tragic ending to "A Farewell to Arms" showing how it underscores the difficulty in finding meaning in life. The paper describes how Hemingway drives home the complex relationship between love and war and draws out their ironic similarities in his novel "A Farewell to Arms."
From the Paper
"Hemingway broaches the brutality of war while juxtaposing it against the complexity of human emotions in his novel "A Farewell to Arms." Set in Europe during World War I, "A Farewell to Arms" is a classic American text that elucidates the role of women in the time of its publication as well as revealing the author's own feelings towards the roles of men and women in society. The narrator and protagonist is a man conflicted about his position in the army and his position as a lover. Frederic Henry dismisses the philosophical nature of war and heroism, downplaying the loftier causes of the Great War. Mirroring his conflict about warfare is his relationship with Catherine Barkley. Catherine initiates their affair in a playful and frivolous manner, but because a genuine love and trust develops between the two, Henry's character matures and his priorities are realized: romantic love usurps his desire to be a hero. Amid this background and setting of death and bloodshed, Hemingway introduces the theme of the fundamentally bleak nature of human existence, for in spite of their love, Henry and Catherine cannot find lasting happiness. The conflict between love and war and the universal struggle for meaning is played out against this backdrop. Frederick Henry's internal strife parallels the bloody fights that surround him, and through his role in the army and his role in his relationship with Catherine, the character proves the primacy of love."
