Fitzgerald and Hemingway appear to be different, but actually have significant similarities. Hemingway uses short and simple language, and the iceberg model. Fitzgerald uses elaborate and precise language, but they both include religious symbolism and allusions to Jesus Christ in their texts.
The difference between Fitzgerald and Hemingway’s style of writing, is that Hemingway uses more simple text passages, while Fitzgerald uses elaborate text passages. An example of Fitzgerald’s writing style, is from The Great Gatsby where he talks about “the last swimmers have come in from the beach now are dressing-up stairs; the cars New York are parked deep in the drive, and already the halls and salons and verandas are gaudy with primary colors”(40). …show more content…

Santiago is saying that if we tried to kill the moon we couldn't because it is so far away. The fish is his friend and he killed it, but that was out of hunger. We see here that Fitzgerald and Hemingway have very different styles of writing, but they both have similarities
Both authors use symbols of God in The Great Gatsby and in The Old Man and the Sea. Fitzgerald uses the symbol of God through Dr. T.J Eckleburg in The Great Gatsby, who watches over the Valley of Ashes. The way this is a symbol of God, is for two reasons. First off, God is all knowing and all seeing. Meaning that he knows everything. An example of this is when George Wilson accuses Myrtle of having an affair with Tom. Fitzgerald writes, “I told her she might fool me but she couldn't fool God. I took her to the window."with an effort he got up and walked to the rear window and leaned with his face pressed against it." and I said 'God knows
