From the Paper
"Ernest Hemingway and Katherine Anne Porter are very different sorts of writers, with different styles and different ways of structuring their material. Pale Horse, Pale Rider is a collection by Porter containing three long stories, or novelettes, while Hemingway's collection In Our Time contains a number of short stories held together by material separating the stories as if they were chapters in a larger work. Both writers tackle some of the major themes of fiction, including death, war, and sex, but they see these issues in somewhat different ways and present their material in their own unique styles. Both writers might be called stylists in that they make strong use of language to create a poetic vision in words, but Hemingway's spare style is not the same as the direct and descriptive style used by Porter."

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)."

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. "

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 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."

'For Whom the Bell Tolls' by Ernest Hemingway, 2001.

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 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)."

"Hills Like White Elephants" by Ernest Hemingway, 2008.

Abstract
This paper examines the use of setting and narrative in Ernest Hemingway's short story "Hills Like White Elephants". The paper explains that because of the transitional quality of the background, the reader naturally becomes curious about the previous circumstances of the characters- what was their situation before, what brought the characters to this moment, and where are they going? The paper looks at how Hemingway uses the setting of a train station to suggest to the reader that the characters are in a place of transition. The writer explains that this is a vital clue for the reader, as it will determine his understanding of the plot as a whole. The writer also suggests that it is also this notion that supplants the plot with its real action- the realization and subsequent emotional transitions or choices of the characters involved- especially that of the woman. The writer believes that the setting also serves to remind the reader that this narrative is not just a conversation- but a conversation with a purpose- and that it will take the characters in specific directions.
From the Paper
"Upon entering the bar, the girl asks the man "what should we drink?" and instead of responding with an answer about what they should drink he merely comments on the weather saying "It's pretty hot" to which the woman responds "let's drink beer". This is the first interchange available to the reader, and while it's very short and seemingly sparse, it is very telling. The woman is making an effort to connect with the man- to be together, rather than being two people who travel together. His comments inform the reader that they haven't been together for a while now because, while he is there physically, he's already gone.
The state of their relationship is further illustrated through the man's reluctance to make any decisions and the reader finds out later that this non action is symbolic. It becomes apparent that the woman has become pregnant and the man is shirking his manly responsibility."

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."

Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms", 2005.
This paper discusses the use of symbolism in Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms".

»
Click here to show/hide summary
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."

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."
