Lost Generation

“You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another,” (Page 11). The Sun Also Rises, written by Ernest Hemingway, was published in 1926. The book is a prime example of modernism that tells the story of people who are lost in themselves. The protagonist is Jake, who also acts as the narrator.

The Sun Also Rises, is a complex modernist novel that often leaves the reader with unanswered questions and a lack of closure. Hemingway’s character driven narrative highlights the feelings of futility that many people experienced after World War One. Events from his personal life and time in Europe find their way into his work, and the outcome is sometimes lonely and hopeless. Often, the characters in The Sun Also Rises strive to establish relationships, but wind up creating alienation instead.…

Everyone has a false face. Although we were born bare, our experiences, society and the prejudiced perspective that mankind has on itself have left us inevitability concealing our vulnerable flesh. It is forlorn, however, as life has the tendency to reveal us, leaving us scrutinizing for a new beginning. As it did to the Americans of the 1920s. Through the decline of American Society, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby demonstrates the revision of the American Dream. In the early 1920s, the…

“Soldier’s Home” Soldier's Home by Ernest Hemingway paints the picture of a very small town where people are more interested in fables compared to reality. The titular home in "Soldier's Home" is not a post-war veteran home, but rather, the childhood home of Harold Krebs, a Marine officer. The author portrays a world widely divided in two sects of people: the ones who have been to war, and the ones who have not. The ones who went to war struggle to find meaning in the things they once enjoyed,…

The 1920’s was the decade many raved about. Exciting new social changes and cultural differences began. During this decade there were clashes over alcohol, manners, morals, and over the rise of cities and evolution. It was all a matter of political and social change. Many people began moving into cities rather than living on farms. (History.com staff; “The Roaring Twenties”). Although many young people chose to celebrate and make the twenties roar, the 1920’s brought more conflict than…

cheating on his wife. If he were religious we might see some remorse or guilt for his actions, but from what is read in the novel, this is not the first time he has cheated or caused problems for his family. Gatsby does not hesitate to try and win Daisy back from Tom and his business dealings aren’t exactly moral either. However, I believe he may have more morals than Tom due to the fact that he was willing to take the blame for the death of Myrtle Wilson for Daisy. Tom wouldn’t have done that.…
