How Did Ernest Hemingway Influenced His Writing

The last big writer Hemingway talked about was Scott Fitzgerald. He talks to him just after The Great Gadsby was released. He was rather impressed at how smart Scott was. But, it seemed he was annoyed with him at times. Scott ended up to be rather untrustworthy. He missed most of a trip they were suppose to make together because he was late. Hemingway finally figured out that the guys main problem was that he was an alcoholic. That was why he ended up being somewhat distant. He was very persistent about what he thought was right and that bugged Hemingway greatly. Scott was almost to the point of being pugnacious at times. But, Hemingway still enjoyed his writing and liked him because he showed that it was possible for him to become a successful writer. Here is a little quote he had on him

“If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.” - John F. Kennedy

Hemingway was a very effective writer. He gets his point across to his readers in a very direct way. His novels included incidences from his life that he had encountered on a daily basis. ("Earnest Hemingway", Discovering Authors)

"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)

Ernest Hemingway is noted as being one of the greatest authors in American history. His style of writing and the topics he chose were appealing to readers of his time and his works are widely read to this day. Ernest was born on July 21, 1899 in Oak Creek, Illinois to Clarence and Grace Hemingway. As a young boy, he spent most of his time outdoors and enjoyed staying at his family's cabin in Michigan. It was here that he discovered his passion for hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. During high school, Hemingway wrote for the sports section of his school's newspaper and continued his newspaper career immediately after graduating when he went to work for the Kansas City Star. It was here that he gained valuable writing experience and adapted

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.

Hemingway was a man of many talents. At an early age Hemingway found a certain fondness within nature. As you read in any of his works, he embraces nature as if it were a vase. Gentle when needed yet firm gripped, not to damage the serenity of natural order. Hemingway was average as a child, yet unlike the boys he grew up with he found solace in writing. Hemingway was no different than any other child of today. He had plans concerning his future, plans that were anything but what his parents wished. After high school he took a job with a newspaper, the "Kansas City Star". Not long after taking the job, Hemingway tried to be a fellow patriot and join the Army, however he was denied due to poor vision. He then did the next best thing and signed up with the American Red Cross, as a driver for emergency vehicles. He left for Europe the following May. Although he was not employed with the "Kansas City Star" but for a short time, he picked up on valuable information in which he incorporated

Due to Hemingway’s horrific relationship with his mother, Grace Hemingway, Hemingway was never able to endure all his other relationships long enough for him to truly enjoy them. Of course he did have a few memorable moments in each relationship he had, everyone receives one each day. But, it just comes down at the end of Hemingway’s life; he was unhappy and regretted almost all of his four marriages. Also, Hemingway felt that he was never truly “man enough” and continuously wanted to prove himself to others. When everyone told they believed he was very masculine, he would not believe it. Instead, Hemingway chose to express what he felt about his life experiences through his writing, letting the world see what he believed. Because of this, Ernest Hemingway became one the most respected and well-known authors that literature had ever

Ernest Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois. After graduating high school in 1917, Hemingway worked as a reporter for the Kansas City Star. A year later, in 1918, Hemingway served as an ambulance driver for the Red Cross in the Italian infantry during World War I and was wounded just before his 19th birthday.
