Annotated Bibliography Ernest Hemingway

Hemingway’s attitude was a prominent part of him which determined many people’s perceptions of him. One bizarre thing about Hemingway was that he didn’t want a biography written during his lifetime and hoped that no one would write one until a century after his death. Three years before he died, he wrote in his will that none of his many letters were allowed to ever be published. But in the years since his death, Hemingway has had more written about him than any other American writer in the twentieth century. Hemingway was the kind of guy to tell something like it was. His sentences usually were not too complicated and he encompassed many stories by means of repetition (Adams). Hemingway also had a malevolent side to him. If he thought a women were not likeminded to him, he would threaten to take his own life (Adams). “He once boasted of shooting a dog in such a way as to ensure it would take days to bleed to death” (Adams). After going through this phase of having a horrid sense of humor, he started to tell everyone what to do. “Hemingway had arrived; he saw himself as one of the patriarchs of American literature, young as he was. He began to be everyone’s papa, but not often a benevolent one. He

Hemingway was with a woman even while he was injured and in the hospital from World War I. That is where he met his first attempt at marriage and a wife. Her name was Agnes von Kurowsky and she was a nurse at the hospital where he stayed in Milan. He proposed to her and she eventually accepted his proposal, but not very long later she left because she found a new man. This was devastating to Hemingway, but providing a great vision for some of his other renowned works. These stories include A Very Short Story and A Farewell to Arms. He met someone who was going to be his first actual wife in Chicago after returning home from the war. He was working at the Toronto Star at the time. Her name was Hadley Richardson. Once they were married they went to Paris for a while and continued working for the Toronto Star. Hemingway’s first child was born in 1923 to Hadley and Ernest. His name was John Hadley Nicanor Hemingway. Hemingway’s second wife Pauline Pfeiffer would be closely following Hadley because Hemingway and Pauline had an affair. This is why Hadley and Hemingway divorced, but Hemingway didn’t take long to marry again. Once his first divorce was finalized he was already married. He was working on a book of short stories at this time called, Men Without Women. Pauline became pregnant and they moved back to America. Their first son together was named Patrick Hemingway. In 1928, they settled in Key West, Florida. This was when Hemingway finally finished his World War I novel

The family is a big thing in everyone 's life, Hemingway had an interesting childhood with a lot of family flaws.

Throughout his years, various women had walked into the famous writer Ernest Hemingway’s life. Yet these same women never remained with Hemingway for long and soon enough walked out on him, with the exception of his last and final wife. Thus the love life of Ernest Hemingway proved to be a complex one. However the time each woman had spent with Hemingway did not simply end with their break-ups; instead the women’s brief relationship with Hemingway served to be a great source of inspiration for the famous writer. As a result, Hemingway's depiction of women in his literary works was influenced and inspired by these various women in his life.

When Hemmingway was young, his father persuaded him to have his tonsils removed by a friend, Dr. Wesley Peck. Even though it was Dr. Peck who performed the painful operation, Hemingway "always held it against his father for taking out his tonsils without an anaesthetic" (Meyers 48). Hemingway saw the opportunity to portray his father in "Indian Camp" as the cold-hearted man who had his tonsils yanked out without anaesthetic. In a reply to Nick's question about giving the Indian woman something to stop screaming, his father states, "No. I haven't any anaesthetic…But her screams are not important. I don't hear them because they are not important." (Tessitore 18) Hemingway lashed out at his father one more time before the story ends. In "Indian Camp," Hemingway uses the conversation between Nick and his father, concerning the suicide of the Indian, to show his distaste for his own father's suicide: 'Why did he kill himself, Daddy?' 'I don't know Nick.' 'He couldn't stand things, I guess.' 'Do many men kill themselves, Daddy?' 'Not very many, Nick…' 'Is dying hard, Daddy?' 'No, I think its pretty easy, Nick. It all depends.' (Hemingway 19) Hemingway saw his father as a weak working man who served his wife, Grace, unconditionally. Ed worked a full day to come home to clean house, prepare food, and tend to the children. He had promised Grace that if she would marry him, she would not

Although Ernest Hemingway incurred a public image of a carefree veteran-of-war turned writer, he was a man suffering under the sickness of having been present in the face of death; in the photograph of Hemingway, the set of his shoulders, position of his knees, and the gun in front of his eye all reveal that despite his misnomered facade, he was a sick person. At first glance, one can see Hemingway holding a gun in front of his face, with his shoulders closed off to the photographer. A person usually scrunches their shoulders up when they are uncomfortable or feeling cautionary of that which is front of him; this entirely reveals how Hemingway felt wary of what was in front of him, be it the future or necessity to trust other people- he had

When Hemingway returned home from Italy in January of 1919 he found Oak Park dull compared to the adventures of war. With a letter of introduction from Sherwood Anderson, Hemingway met some of Paris' prominent writers and artists and forged quick friendships with them during his first few years. Counted among those friends were Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, Sylvia Beach, James Joyce, Max Eastman, Lincoln Steffens and Wyndahm Lewis, and he was acquainted with the painters Miro and Picasso. Hemingway was inspired to write different works at different times because of the events that occured in his life.

Many of the passages of the novel reflect his life. Hemingway writes: “But man is not made for defeat," he said. "A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” This has been shown through his life, as Hemingway wrote the novella to prove he wasn’t finished as a writer. This is also reflected during his time in World War 1. Hemingway was wounded by Austrian Mortar fire, and yet despite his injuries or “defeat,” Hemingway carried a wounded italian soldier to safety. Hemingway wrote: "When you go to war as a boy you have a great illusion
