Abstract
The paper looks at Ernest Hemingway's, "Across the River and into the Trees", and argues that the text does an admirable job of capturing the weariness, the cynicism, the lingering shadows, and the potentiality of Italy in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War; in a real sense, it is an historical novel because of its references and tone and because of some of the indelible images Hemingway creates. The paper explores all of this and looks also at where the book stands relative to other Hemingway books and its relationship to the work of other writers from the period. In the end, "Across the River and into the Trees" is a book that captures nicely Italy in 1950 - and Ernest Hemingway as he was at the mid-point of the twentieth century.

Abstract
To varying degrees, every writer's work is affected by her or his personal experiences. Some might argue that this is particularly true for Ernest Hemingway. For example, it has been pointed out that Hemingway's war injury was a central symbol in his fiction until his death. This essay demonstrates that there is overwhelming evidence of Hemingway's personal experience affecting his writing in his short story, "In Another Country".

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of themes prevalent in Ernest Hemingway's novel, "For Whom the Bell Tolls". Themes included are loyalty, bravery, and gender roles. This novel , traces the life of protagonist, Robert Jordan for three days during the Spanish Civil War. Bravery is characterized by one?s response when faced with death. Courage, trust, and sacrifice outline loyalty. As it is commonplace to focus attention on detailing language when reading Hemingway, one need read closely to conjure the gender-role issues underlying this novel.
From the Paper
"Ernest Hemingway served the North American Newspaper Alliance covering the Spanish Civil War from 1937-38. Upon his return to the United States on his way to a 1953 Pulitzer Prize and a 1954 Noble Prize for literature, he traces the life of protagonist, Robert Jordan for three days during the Spanish Civil War in his writing of ' For Whom the Bell Tolls'. Through Jordan's interaction with other supplementary characters and the use of language, Hemingway addresses the importance of bravery (facing the fear of death/dying), loyalty (trust of others/self), and gender (roles/stereotypes). Bravery and loyalty are complementary and often intertwined characteristics as well as themes. The comprehension and acquisition of these thematic issues and traits is essential before one's sudden, last fatalistic day."

Abstract
This paper explains that similar to Ernest Hemingway, who suffered from life-long depression, many American writers, such as William Faulkner and F. Scott Fitzgerald, appear to have suffered from some type of mental disorder such as alcoholism, schizophrenia or depression. The author points out that it is quite obvious that Ernest Hemingway utilized his depression as a kind of support mechanism to compose his short stories and novels; however, the question remains as to exactly how depression either led or inspired Hemingway to become such a great American novelist. The paper relates that the literary conflict within "The Old Man and the Sea", as seen in the character of Santiago is, actually Hemingway himself, an old man with great internal struggles based on his need to satisfy his inflated ego, which is in a battle with his depression.
From the Paper
"One important element of depression is that some people become very neurotic, meaning that they over-react to certain situations which in reality are not that particularly disruptive to ordinary persons. Under certain circumstances, a person suffering from depression may experience vivid hallucinations and delusions that are not real, much like living in a dream state where things and ideas are not tangible nor logically explainable. Those that suffer from major depression often have recurring episodes throughout their lives, yet they may also return to a relatively normal state at any given time."

Abstract
The paper discusses the recurring themes in Ernest Hemingway's novels and, referring to titles of his works, highlights that these themes are a description of Hemingway's life. The paper relates that, in using these themes, Hemingway portrays his lifestyle and ambitions. The paper then concludes that violence as a theme, in particular, appears in many of his novels.
Outline:
Isolation
Violence and its consequences
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Hemingway's stories contained several recurring themes, such as suicide, destruction of prized possessions, and darkness, among others. Two of his recurrent themes, examined here, were isolation and violence. As with other topics, Hemingway found the inspiration to write about these themes from his own experience: his isolation created by his career and by his depression, his experience in the war and in Spain, among others, creating sources for his violent works. Hemingway was an American icon; today, additional analysis of his works gives them continued value."

Abstract
Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), one of the most popular and influential American novelists of the twentieth century, enjoyed nearly as much fame as a hard-living, adventurous personality as he did as a major artist. The paper shows that his life and his art were intertwined in many ways, and biography plays an important role in understanding his work. The paper shows that a great deal can be learned about Hemingway's art by studying the ways in which his life was transformed in his fiction--the process that made his fiction works of art rather than autobiography. The paper discusses several of Hemingway's books, including "The Sun Also Rises" and "A Farewell to Arms."
From the Paper
"If the autobiographical element in the Nick Adams stories is fairly direct--and the character can be considered Hemingway's alter-ego without any difficulty--the story in the novel was even more directly taken from life. Yet Jake Barnes, the protagonist, is far more problematical as a stand-in for the author. In some ways the character's disgust with the 'lostness' of the other lost generation characters in the book and his pleasure in the art of the bullfighter reflected the real Hemingway. They were also the first fictional steps in the author's lifelong project of "orchestrat[ing] his own persona, a persona which continues to dominate both popular and critical evaluations" of the novels and stories (Clifford 172). Thus readings of the novel sometimes concentrate too heavily on this emerging public Hemingway."

Abstract
A discussion of how Ernest Hemingway effectively illustrated the glories of Spanish culture and society and depicted the lives of people in the African wild. It explains that these two prevailing themes in Hemingway's novels show how the great writer sought to effectively show to his readers the reality of life in the world despite people's differences in culture and society.
From the Paper
"Before Hemingway, became renowned for his writings as a novelist, he was first employed as a Kansas City Star cub reporter in 1917. Although his writing became his primary occupation, Hemingway also contributed in providing people and the government some civil services through his work as an ambulance driver for the US in the Italian front in 1918 and reported on the Greco-Turkish war in 1922. After years of committing himself to a life of civil service for the US, Hemingway came back to live a civilian's life. However, he quit journalism and instead tried to focus on his writing skills in creating fictional works in 1924."

Abstract
This paper examines the life and the writings of Ernest Hemingway by focusing on three of his works, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," "The Short Happy Life of Kilimanjaro" and "A Farewell to Arms." It discusses how each story argues that a man may only find his true worth when confronted by danger, usually in the form of the dangers of the natural world. It provides a brief overview of his life and shows how as both novelist and short-story writer, Hemingway's style is characterized by crispness, laconic dialogue and emotional understatement and how both his writings and his personal life exerted a profound influence on American writers of his time.
From the Paper
"Hemingway's writing style was no doubt influenced by an early job as a reporter for the Kansas City Star. He left this job within a few months to serve as a volunteer ambulance driver in Italy during World War I. He later transferred to the Italian infantry and was severely wounded. After the war he was a correspondent for the Toronto Star and then settled in Paris. While there, he was encouraged in creative work by the American expatriate writers Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. After 1927 Hemingway spent long periods of time in Key West, Florida, and in Spain and Africa. These adventures, his career as a journalist and his work in war zones all influenced his philosophy and writing style (Clifford, 1999, p. 22)."
