A whole new generation of young people had seen and experienced this destruction. It seems Hemingway had selected the feelings and experiences of this generation to express through his writing. Hemingway like the other…

In Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, an unlucky angler named Santiago sets out on a boat to ascertain his luck and successfully reel in a marlin he finds. Most view Santiago as the main persona of the book, as the tale unfolds through his eyes. However, obstacles, circumstances and thoughts—those involving the old man and not—seem to revolve around one thing: the marlin he pursues. There is obviously no story without the marlin, but there is no Santiago without it, either. Firstly,…

A River Runs Through It is a novella about fly-fishing and family, told from the first-person perspective of author and major character Norman Maclean. The book is actually an autobiographical account of Maclean.

By describing his fishing trips and related events during the summer of 1937, a much older Maclean seeks to understand the tragedy of his…

As a writer of the Lost Generation, Ernest Hemingway wrote about many difficult human realities.

Although it does not blatantly say what exactly the circumstance is that the two characters face, the use of a sense of vagueness, symbolism, characterization, and uncertain mood helps to explain the looming issue and their indecisiveness towards it. Noting that this…

To me, Hemingway is an exceptional writer because of his simple style and influence he has on other authors. Hemingway wrote his stories for the common man. He felt using big, fancy words was pointless when simple…
