     In Hemingway’s collection of short stories, In Our Time, we follow a character by the name of Nick Adams. We are introduced to Nick in “Indian Camp” as a young boy, and follow him to adulthood in both Parts I and II of “Big Two-Hearted River”.

It is possible that Matt could be a good fit for Dauntless from the way he thrives in his city environment, but the real reason he survives there is that he has always finds the peace with everyone like an Amity would. He believes in many of the values that Amity was founded upon, one of the most obvious choices being shown while he sits in on funerals. It was shown in the Amity manifesto that the primary belief is that everyone should be treated equally, and with respect, to create peace. While Matt watches one of the funerals, he contemplates, “Even though I knew I couldn’t help them all...just knowing that we were all struggling with this thing...that helped” (114).

In “The End of Something” from In Our Time, Nick breaks up his sentimental relationship with his girlfriend Marjorie. The reason why I think he breaks up with her is due to lack of satisfaction, and love in their relationship.

The act of fishing itself is a common Hemingway theme as a completely masculine activity; for example, in "The End of Something," the younger, less mature Nick ends his relationship with his girlfriend Marjorie while fishing, and in "Out of Season," the wife is the first to abandon the fishing trip. By excluding any women from this story, Hemingway portrays his philosophy that women only hinder men's activity, since Nick's fishing trip on this river is the only successful fishing trip throughout the collection. Moreover, Nick is not only completely alone but even seems to prefer his isolation, as shown in the statement, "Nick did not like to fish with other men on the river. Unless they were of your party, they spoiled it" (Hemingway 149). Because he had become completely estranged from society after the war and has lost most of his friends, Nick can only find happiness and enjoyment in isolation. Although he may have recovered from his feelings of loss, he cannot fully eliminate the scars of war. Nevertheless, Nick's emotional change is also a sign of maturity since, according to the Modernist view of the world, everyone is alone and must be self-reliant. As he fishes, Nick becomes intensely immersed in the exhilaration of catching trout, which Hemingway describes, "Nick's

In A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway uses damaged characters to show the unglamorous and futile nature of war and the effects it has on people. Hemingway wants readers to know that war is not what people make it out to be; it is unspectacular and not heroic. Hemingway also feels that war is futile by nature and that most goals in war have almost no point. He also shows readers that military conflict often causes people to have shallow values and to hide their pain for their own protection.

Ernest Hemingway's WWI classic, A Farewell to Arms is a story of initiation in which the growth of the protagonist, Frederic Henry, is recounted. Frederic is initially a naïve and unreflective boy who cannot grasp the meaning of the war in which he is so dedicated, nor the significance of his lover's predictions about his future. He cannot place himself amidst the turmoil that surrounds him and therefore, is unable to fully justify a world of death and destruction. Ultimately, his distinction between his failed relationship with Catherine Barkley and the devastation of the war allows him to mature and arrive at the resolution that the only thing one can be sure of in the course of life is death
