From the Paper
"Many literary critics consider Ernest Hemingway to be the greatest writer of the 20th century. Hemingway had a zest for life and adventure; he was also considered a genius at his craft. He won both the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize for literature. Hemingway entered the international scene during the early decades of the 20th century when his contemporaries, writers like William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, and Eugene O'Neill were improving American literature by leaps and bounds. And, while other writers like Tolstoy and T.E. Lawrence had also written from personal experience in combat in War and Peace and Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Hemingway was the first American writer to combine chaotic battle scenes with observations of minute detail in a novel that was both autobiographical and historical and contained elements of ...

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.

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."

From the Paper
"Upon returning briefly to the United States after the World War, Hemingway, as well as working for the Toronto Star, lived for a short time in Chicago. Later, after marrying, Hemingway moved to Paris, where he served as foreign correspondent for the Star. As Hemingway covered events on all of Europe, the young reporter interviewed important leaders such as Lloyd George, Clemenceau, and Mussolini. The Hemingways lived in Paris from 1921-1926; this time of stylistic development for Hemingway reaches its zenith in 1923 with the publication of "Three Stories and Ten Poems" by Robert McAlmon in Paris and the birth of his son John. This time in Paris inspired the novel "A Moveable Feast", published posthumously in 1964.
"In Paris, Hemingway used a friend from Chicago's letter of introduction to meet Gertrude Stein and enter the world of ex-patriot authors and artists whom inhabited her intellectual circle. The famous description of this "lost generation" was born of an employee's remark to Hemingway, and became immortalized as the epigraph on his first major novel, "The Sun Also Rises". This "lost generation" both characterized the postwar generation and the literary movement it produced. In the 1920's, writers such as Anderson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, James Joyce, Ezra Pound, and Gertrude Stein decried the false ideals of patriotism that led young people to war, only to the benefit of materialistic elders. This writer's tenets that the only truth was reality, and thus life could be nothing but hardship, strongly influenced Hemingway."

Abstract
This paper discusses the prominent theme of dignity in the face of hardship that each character faces in Hemingway's novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls." The novel focuses on the main character of Robert, the American professor who has come to Spain to join the fight against the fascists. The writer of this paper also examines the title: "For Whom the Bell Tolls" which bears great meaning and relevance to the events of the novel.
From the Paper
"A world of torture and pain would await him in such a case, where he would have no control over his time of death. However the reader did not see whether this possibility turned to a reality. The danger involved with fighting wounded was wholeheartedly applauded by Hemingway, because while he did not give a definitive ending, Robert's sacrifice was inarguably noble. There is a level of irony in Robert's death that is impossible to miss."

Abstract
This paper examines how Ernest Hemingway?s 1940 novel, ?For Whom The Bell Tolls?, is a long and powerful look at the themes of courage, fear, idealism, and disenchantment in the face of war, in this case the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939. Considered by many critics as Hemingway?s best work, it is now widely accepted as one of the greatest examples of fiction in the 20th century. It individually analyzes the themes of idealism and courage for each of the characters, Robert Jordan, Pablo, and Anselmo.
From the Paper
"Though he considers himself a soldier and has been a part of the Communist/Loyalist uprising against the Fascist government since early on, Anselmo is also a compassionate person who has yet to actually kill a man. Even when he looks at the enemy, who would kill him given the slightest chance, he sees people more like himself than different. To him, the Spanish people are still basically one group divided by an artificial line of separation called politics. It is his hope that he will not be forced to kill, and when there is talk of what to do with captured Fascists, his vote is to allow them to live and therefore have the opportunity to reject the harsh rule of Fascism and rejoin the ?natural? course of life."

From the Paper
"Within the framework of war which surounds Hemingway's two novels, "A Farewell to Arms" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls", there exist contrasting and similar characteristics which are directly related to the author's maturity and sentiments. A Farewell to Arms, written in 1929, expresses more pessimism and less feeling for the Italians than the later work, For Whom the Bell Tolls. In both works, Hemingway has illustrated the futility of life, love, and happiness that war brings. Frederick Henry and Robert Jordan are victims of different wars, falling in love amid the pressures war brings. Although both men were wounded by war, Henry's injury led him to his love affair with Catherine Barkley, while Jordan's injury rendered him unable to ride horseback to be with his love, Maria. Jordan is left to die, but it is his choice. Maria shouts, "Let me stay! Let me stay!". but Jordan ... "

Abstract
This paper summarizes, discusses, and analyzes Ernest Hemingway's novel, "For Whom the Bell Tolls," and explains how the novel focuses on the dehumanizing effects of war. The paper also describes the literary style and techniques employed by Hemingway in the novel, which allow him to deliver his message about the ugliness and futility of war without belaboring the point.
From the Paper
"It is a well-established fact that For Whom the Bell Tolls was based on Ernest Hemingway's experiences as a foreign war correspondent during the Spanish Civil War. Although there are a great many war novels, Hemingway's effort stands out due to its stark depiction of the realities of war. No doubt, Hemingway was able to achieve this because he had personally witnessed the political turmoil and intrigues in Spain. Moreover, because Hemingway was a journalist, he was able to use all his analytical skills to cut through the professed ideologies and propaganda and reveal the pitfalls and horrors of war. Thus, For Whom the Bell Tolls is a work that does not glorify war or its heroes. Instead, its focus is on exploring the dehumanizing effects of war."

Ernest Hemingway, 2006.
This paper discusses the depression and creativity of Ernest Hemingway, considered by many as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.

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
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
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
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)."

Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms", 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" is a love story built around a theme of good versus evil, set against backdrops of war and hospitals. The author points out that, in this morality tale, Hemingway uses this war and the hospitals, both places where individuals fight a life-or-death battle, to symbolize facing one's own spirituality. The paper relates that the love between Frederic and Catherine is symbolic of the good in life; however, Frederic's unclean way of living, the bad side of human nature, is symbolic of death.
From the Paper
"Rather, Hemingway uses his brief service as a Red Cross ambulance driver on the Italian front in 1918, and his injury by a mortar burst as a source for realistic detail. Hemingway's wound was critical enough to be life endangering, and it has been observed by his contemporaries that this experience permanently altered his outlook on life. The author himself remembered the sensation of his life almost leaving him, "like you'd pull a silk handkerchief out of a pocket by a corner." The love story is based on his own affair with a nurse during this time, Agnes von Kurowsky. Although Hemingway was deeply in love with her, she did not regard the liaison as a serious affair, and left for Florence to care for a patient. While there, she became involved with someone else and broke the affair off."
