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
The paper examines three short stories by Ernest Hemingway; "Soldier Home," "Way You l Never Be" and "In Another Country" and discusses the general theme which unifies them. The paper then proceeds to outline how four critics view the central thesis of this paper. The paper explains that they mainly see that nihilism and despair bind together all three stories and how the authentic Hemingway exists in these writings. The paper discusses whether they agree in the main, or disagree with the above thesis.
From the Paper
"Perhaps no other American writer - certainly not in the twentieth century - produced more insightful and provocative work about the ravages of war than Ernest Hemingway. The following paper will advance the thesis that Hemingway, while he may have sought to project a hyper-macho image, was really deeply insecure, introspective and profoundly suspicious of the macho posturings of warfare. To put it another way, while Hemingway's personal life seemed to valorize machismo and "manly" pursuits, his writings (which are deeply influenced by personal experience) cleave to a different view. Chiefly, his writings depict the most brutally masculine pursuit of all - warfare - in a resoundingly negative way and reveal also his own inward contempt for the masculine, martial conventions and paradigms of his time."

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 explores the idea that Ernest Hemingway may have been chauvinistic, through an examination of his novels. The author, however, argues that although Hemingway's main characters were always male and he portrayed his females as background characters, Hemingway was not a misogynist; rather, an author only capable of speaking in a male voice.
From the Paper
"To give Hemingway his due he was a product of his times. No matter how critical the reader gets the fact is that Hemingway's women had more character than many others portrayed during his time. The woman may adhere to the traditional scenarios and Hemingway may have focused on the male protagonist more in comparison but truth be told that was his prerogative. It is not necessary for him to be a woman hater just because he writes a story about a man. The scholar's, men and women alike have agreed that women have their place in the Hemingway novels. The men are not complete without the woman and just by portraying this facet Hemingway redeems himself."

Abstract
This paper takes a brief look at the life of Ernest Hemingway. The author describes his childhood in Illinois, working at the Kansas City Star newspaper and his involvement in World War I. The paper discusses Hemingway's influences as he began his career as a writer in Paris, surrounded by many talented expatriates, and examines the speculation over his depression and death in 1961.
From the Paper
"If literary genius can be described as one person's ability to influence the thinking of others and to do it only with written words, then Ernest Miller Hemingway was certainly deserving of the title. With his direct, declarative and streamlined style of writing, a style he first learned while writing as a newspaper journalist, Hemingway observed the world around him and the people in it, and then wrote of his observations on the nature of mankind.
