Abstract
This paper contends that out of all the protagonists he painstakingly described in his novels and short stories, the one which came closest to the real Ernest Hemingway was one of his earliest creations, Nick Adams. The paper discusses how Nick's trials and tribulations were featured in a series of 'coming of age' short stories, which were assembled in the compilation, "In Our Time", originally published in 1930. The paper defines Nick Adams as serving as Hemingway's literary alter-ego, a man who was on a personal quest to embody his definition of a macho hero, the man who could stoically overcome any obstacle without registering any outward emotion.

From the Paper
"The first offering, "Indian Camp," is a story which describes Nick accompanying his physician father to perform a Caesarean on a pregnant squaw. Dr. Adams describes the serious medical situation in clinical, matter of fact terms, telling his son, "Listen to me. What she is going through is called being in labor. The baby wants to be born and she wants it to be born. All her muscles are trying to get the baby born. That is what is happening when she screams" (16). The unsettling quiet of the labor is disrupted by the woman's desperate cries of anguish. There is, in these remote surroundings, naturally, no type of anesthetic, and Nick becomes increasingly agitated by the pregnant woman's obvious distress. "

Abstract
This paper examines how the difficulty of life and the human condition is often a theme that surfaces in the works of Ernest Hemingway; while his subject matter is worthy of discussion, it is perhaps his style that has brought him the most popularity. It looks at how his sparse style and direct approach make him stand out as one of the most celebrated authors of the 20th century and how his approach to writing is succinct and so compelling that it has influenced literature in all genres. It explores specific areas of Hemingway's style and how it brings life to many of his characters, while at the same time capturing the mood and sentiments of a displaced, yet compassionate American.

From the Paper
"John Aldridge claims that Hemingway's most "seductive attribute" is "his powerful responsiveness to experience" (Aldridge 139). Aldridge notes that The Sun Also Rises reflects the author's responsiveness to his experiences. According to Aldridge, Hemingway "was living in the most exotic city in Europe among some of the most remarkable personalities and gifted artists of the post Word War I era" (139). This element of his circumstances is reflected in the novel. His depiction of the hotels, bars, and restaurants of Paris makes us feel as if we are there and because Hemingway knew the names of all the streets and "knew the exact location of all the best places and the best route to get to them" (139) add to the mood of the novel."

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)."

Abstract
The paper asserts that in order to understand Hemingway and his novel "In Our Time", a basic knowledge of the cubist genre of the 1920's is necessary. The paper examines whether or not "In Our Time" is a novel or a collection of short stories and shows how if "In Our Time" is deconstructed in the context of the era it was written and published, then there is no doubt that Hemingway's first novel is simply that-a novel.

From the Paper
"In order to understand Hemingway and his novel "In Our Time' a basic knowledge of the cubist genre of the 1920's is necessary. The question within this paper is whether or not "In Our Time" is a novel or a collection of short stories. If "In Our Time" is deconstructed in the context of the era it was written and published then there is no doubt that the Hemingway's first novel is simply that--a novel. A contemporary of Hemingway's F. Scott Fitzgerald published "The Great Gatsby" two weeks prior to Hemingway's publication of "In Our Time". "The Great Gatsby" is accepted as a novel even though each chapter can stand..."

Abstract

The paper examines the writing style and beliefs of Hemingway on the evil and violent nature of mankind.

From the Paper
"Ernest Hemingway led a life filled with both adventure and drama, which would ultimately lead him to write about these experiences in his works. Hemingway is hailed for his genuineness, in that what he wrote was most often personally experienced, so the material was owned as opposed to being randomly created, his perceptions of which will be discussed. Ernest Hemingway was a master craftsman who is universally lauded for creating a new style and setting a new direction in American prose. Hemingway received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954, just a year after having won the Pulitzer Prize. (Garrigues 59) Hemingway lived during tumultuous times of war, having served himself, and thus his writing reflects this darker sense of reality. His service in the First World War on the Italian front would give him his inspiration for the book "A Farewell to Arms" while his many friends from the war would provide the inspiration for many of his other stories."

Abstract
The writer of this paper examines the mood and atmosphere of the 1920s as depicted in Hemingway's collection of short stories "Men Without Women." This paper focuses on the central male characters in 6 of the 14 stories from the author's novel. This paper explores Hemingway's obvious obsession with small-time athletes and bullfighters past their prime. This paper also discusses the author's practice of writing about men rather than women, which is appropriate considering the era in which these stories were written. The writer analyzes the following short stories: "The Undefeated", "In Another Country", "The Killers", "Fifty Grand", "A Simple Enquiry" and "Banal Story".

From the Paper
"Hemingway was obsessed with the small-time athletes- bullfighters who had their moment in the sun, prize fighters who had their hands raised but, when the really big fight came along, would find themselves on the canvas, stretched out like so much dead meat. Hemingway knows and repeats the callous conversations, the religious and ethnic slurs that come from the mouths of these, usually uneducated, and carefree men who occupy the lower rungs of our society. In "Fifty Grand" Jack, the mediocre fighter, worries about his wife, the property he has in the Bronx and in Florida."

Abstract
This paper offers a history of the critical reception of "The Sun Also Rises." The paper demonstrates how the book has been interpreted since the time of its publication and highlights those critics who made a major contribution to new ways of interpreting it. The paper underscores the fact that critics have looked at "The Sun Also Rises" for decades and many of them have come up with some interesting interpretations that challenge readers to think more deeply about what they have read.

From the Paper
"Many of Hemingway's characters exude masculinity and raw power, and this novel is no exception, as many critics have also noted. These are men who are strong, silent, and often deadly. They are not afraid of death, as their running with the bulls shows. One 1943 review said, "They act like people who have not fully grown up and who lack the self-awareness to realize this; in fact, they possess no desire to grow up" (Farrell 222). This anti-Semitism according to many critics and reviewers.s also quite in keeping with their masculinity, which does not necessarily denote maturity, as their running with the bulls in Pamplona also shows. Grown, mature men do not need to prove their masculinity by running from bulls, but young men still finding themselves certainly do, and critics recognized this."

Abstract
The paper looks at the short stories collected by Ernest Hemingway in his book "In Our Time" that address issues of war and death, based in part on his own experiences in World War I. The paper relates that the primary subject is life and death, often related to war and violence, and their effects on the human beings facing both. The paper conveys how the character of Nick Adams, seen in several of the stories in this volume, is a reflection of Hemingway himself as a young man. The paper discusses how many of the themes apparent in the works of Ernest Hemingway can be connected to events and attitudes in his own life.

From the Paper
"Many of the themes apparent in the works of Ernest Hemingway can be related to events and attitudes in his own life. Hemingway grew up in Michigan, in a family that placed an emphasis on outdoor activities. As a boy, Ernest was strong and strong-willed, with physical capabilities that would hold him in good stead until the latter days of his life (Hardy and Cull 10-11). Ernest became a reporter rather than going to college as his father wanted, and he became interested in the war raging in Europe (World War I) and decided to go there to see it for himself. All this was part of his attitude toward masculinity in men, something he prized highly (Hardy and Cull 14-15)."

Abstract
This paper looks at how Ernest Hemingway explores homosocial relationships between men in the book, "In Our Time." The paper explains that the homosocial interactions between the males in the stories are given more importance than the heterosexual interactions between the males and females. The paper looks at how Hemingway seems to show a particularly strong interest in the relationship between two good male friends, displaying their exchanges and affections for each other in a non-sexual manner. The paper points out that in the story "The End of Something," Nick breaks up with Marjorie because she is too masculine and does everything with him, or because he isn't getting a chance to spend enough time with Bill. The paper also explains that most of the time close relationships between males are interpreted as homosexual, but Hemingway has introduced a different level of male bonding.

From the Paper
"The role of heterosexuality is also important in this story, along with others in the collection. There is always a female presence that complements the male characters, but usually the relationship is portrayed with a strain. For example, in "The End of Something," Nick molds Marjorie into a more masculine, tomboy kind of person so that she does everything he does. While it is this exact trait that turns him off from her. The fact that she began doing everything with him, and her lack of femininity turns him away contradicting the fact that he wanted her to be that way in the first place. In the story when Nick informs Marjorie that there will be a full moon and she says she knows, his annoying is evident and he insists that she knows everything, implying that nothing is fun or interesting to talk about because she already knows everything (page 34)."
