The main characters of this novel are Logan, Henry, John, and Shep. These characters had played a very big role in this book and had played them really well. Logan is a teenage boy who has blue pale eyes, and black hair. He is a very calm person. I know this because, in this novel on page 12 it states, “Mom alerts Mr.Stone and he sits up in his chair, probably embarrassed at being caught in such a relaxed state. Mr.Gains shuts the door and it takes everything in me not to press my ear against it”. Henry on the other side has a way different personality. Henry has pale brown eyes with a hint of blond hair. Henry is the bravest of all the character in this novel. I know this because, in this novel on page 44 it states, “sorry I didn't know anyone was in here.” My stomach …show more content…
Its Henry Carlisle. Mr.Stone's words echo in my ears: Steer clear of them at school. Don’t talk to them. Don't talk about them. Should I leave?”. John is a very scared person and catches feelings very often. I Know this because, on page 302 it states, “And then there's John Micheal, back of the Remington. The slide show ends with the frozen image of him with the gun, the picture time- and date-stamped from the morning of Grant's death. John Michael sits down in the chair next to his mother, lays his head on her shoulder, and starts crying”. The fourth main characters whose name is Shep is a very creepy and disgusting person. I know this because, on page 70 it states, “ I have an excellent eye. Send me some pics and I’ll tell you which one is the best. Well I’d really rather see pics of you. Show me what look like right now. But take your shirt off first”. These are the four main characters of this

"Certainly there is no hunting like the hunting of man and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never really care for anything else thereafter. You will meet them doing various things with resolve, but their interest rarely holds because after the other thing ordinary life is as flat as the taste of wine when the taste buds have been burned off your tongue." ('On the Blue Water' in Esquire, April 1936)
The period between World War I and World War II was a very turbulent time in America. Ernest Hemingway most represented this period with his unrestrained lifestyle. This lifestyle brought him many successes, but it eventually destroyed him in the end. His stories are read in classrooms across America, but his semi-autobiographical writings are horrible role models for the students who read them. Hemingway’s lifestyle greatly influenced his writings in many ways.
Throughout the Nick Adams and other stories featuring dominant male figures, Ernest Hemingway teases the reader by drawing biographical parallels to his own life. That is, he uses characters such as Nick Adams throughout many of his literary works in order to play off of his own strengths as well as weaknesses: Nick, like Hemingway, is perceptive and bright but also insecure. Nick Adams as well as other significant male characters, such as Frederick Henry in A Farewell to Arms and Jake Barnes in The Sun Also Rises personifies Hemingway in a sequential manner. Initially, the Hemingway character appears to be impressionable, but he evolves into an isolated individual. Hemingway, due to an unusual childhood and possible post traumatic

Underneath the depths of the ocean lies glimpses and fragments of overwhelming sentiment that construct a photomontage in contemplation of creating the bigger picture. On deciphering an enigmatic ordeal of far greater magnitude and emotional significance, the iceberg principle successes in eclipsing the truth of a story. Hemingway operates under this technique to let the concrete facts float above water while drowning the intense emotions of a character. Hemingway’s signature stripped-down technique is manifested in a noteworthy story that is set against the abhorrence of war; A Farewell To Arms is a semiautobiographical work composed by Ernest Hemingway after World War I. Hemingway uses the iceberg principle to create a lucid image with the sententious and terse elucidation about Frederic Henry 's character; hence, portraying deep emotions and thoughts that are profoundly veiled within his dialogues and actions. To enhance an in-depth psychological dissection of Frederic Henry’s severe emotional trauma caused by warfare, Hemingway uses telegraphic dialogue, stream-of-consciousness, and symbolism.

“Hemingway’s greatness is in his short stories, which rival any other master of the form”(Bloom 1). The Old Man and the Sea is the most popular of his later works (1).

These themes combine to create a book that won Hemingway a Pulitzer Prize in 1953 and contributed to his Nobel Prize for literature in 1954 (3).
