Throughout the 20th century there were many influential pieces of literature that would not only

Ernest Hemingway was born in Chicago, IL on July 21, 1899 and Died in Ketchum, ID on July 2, 1961. Hemingway was always both a creative and an adventurous person, he had a thrilling life with a tragic end. He served during WWI, he had the chance to write in Paris, side by side with some of the most prolific authors at the time, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald (Hossick, Ernest Hemingway: A Concise Biography). His life had so much inspiration and thrilling events that it would be unusual that he didn’t reflect those life experiences on paper. Hemingway’s style of writing is peculiar in various aspects, mostly with way Hemingway applies metaphors, but the charm on the way he uses them is that they are subtle yet they are direct. His style is simple and clean, he didn’t need to adorn his pieces for them to be masterpieces, he mastered this pragmatic way of writing, which

Ernest Hemingway, a literary icon of the early twentieth century, challenged the typical lengthy and detailed prose of authors before him by pioneering a stylistic revolution centered around heavy dialogue and minimalistic details. More specifically, “Hemingway used a journalistic style and unadorned prose to capture the everyday lives of men and women caught up in history’s most momentous events,” without wasting pages establishing the setting or background within a work like most authors of the nineteenth century (The Letters… 442). Often, the mood, setting, and emotion within Hemingway’s stories are established through symbolism and constant dialogue. Hemingway expertly implements his unconventional and unique authorial style to convey the disparity in gender communication and perspectives and its effects on relationships in his 1927 short story, Hills Like White Elephants.

The clearest example is the impotency of the main character Jake Barnes. Jake explains to Georgette how he was hurt during the war in order to prevent her from becoming infatuated with him (Hemingway 22). The battle wound rendered Jake impotent, so he cannot be with his love, Brett Ashley. Throughout the novel, Jake witnesses Brett’s affairs with other men; his insecurity is enhanced. Robert Cohn, Jake’s Jewish friend, is a former boxer who did not experience World War I firsthand like the rest of Jake’s friends. Hemingway explains why Robert boxes: "He cared nothing for boxing, in fact he disliked it, but he learned it painfully and thoroughly to counteract the feeling of inferiority and shyness he had felt on being treated as a Jew at Princeton" (11). Robert practices boxing as a way to counteract his insecurity; he thinks he will gain respect and intimidate others. Instead, Robert is always found to be the center of jokes and criticism from his peer group; he nonchalantly brushes it off but is concerned about his identity.

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.

Ernest Hemingway was considered by the general population, an important figure in twentieth-century American writing. He is most known for his books A Farewell to Arms and The Old Man and the Sea. All through his career, he got both critical and famous acclaim for his books, stories, and poems. In light of his ceaseless rising fame from his books or individual life, his public image once in awhile. Be that as it may, he was still respected for the enhancing of his general assemblage of work by intensely recounting from his experience as a major gamer seeker, a bullfight enthusiast, and as deep-sea fisherman. He additionally has credited that the music lessons his mom demanded him to take as a kid were valuable to his written work (Scribner Laidlaw 2).

After Ernest graduated from high school, he either wanted to join the armed forces or write. Of course, his dad wanted him to go to college. His dad forbid him to go to World War I also. In 1917, he decided to apply for a job at The Kansas City Star as a journalist. He got the job and moved to Kansas City (Life and Works 3). He only made $15 a week while he worked for the newspaper (Parry 865). He lived with his uncle when he first arrived in Kansas City. He later moved into an apartment with Carl Edgar. While working for The Star, he covered many interesting stories such as The Police, The Union Station, and The General Hospital. His first training job was on stolen goods, crimes and accidents. He also wrote about the many famous people who came through The Union Station. Ernest worked very hard to improve his writing with the help of his mentor Lionol Calhoun Moise. Ernest would later be impressed with Moise’s lifestyle. Moise was famous for violence, alcohol, and cursing. While he worked for The Star he learned many things, but he also became bored. He wanted real action. He was caught up in the war fever of World War I. One thing that stopped him though,

   Ernest Hemingway has been greatly criticized for a supposed hatred of women that some feel is evident in his writings. One of the primary books that critics believe shows this misogynistic attitude is A Farewell To Arms. It is counterproductive to interpret the book using such a narrow focus because the author is dealing with much more profound themes. Hemingway is not concerned with the theme of gender equality, but rather with the greater themes of the inherent struggle of life and the inevitability of death.

Hemingway's world is one in which things do not grow and bear fruit, but explode, break, decompose, or are eaten away. It is saved from total misery by visions of endurance, by what happiness the body can give when it does not hurt, by interludes of love which

“Ernest Hemingway has been called the twentieth century's most influential writer. With the publication of A Farewell to Arms in 1929, he achieved widespread fame, and despite a steady decline in the quality of his work thereafter, his fame continued to grow until his suicide in 1961 and beyond.”

Ernest Hemingway, the famously known author out of Oak Parks, Illinois on July 21, 1899 to Grace and Clarence Hemingway. Ernest Hemingway was brought up in a very conservative but yet unusual house. The reason I iterate unusual is because his mother, Grace Hemingway is the one that provides the financial stability in their household and does not do any house chores, she was an strong willed women but was unsupportive and bashful, whereas his father Clarence Hemingway played more of the mother role because he would do the house chores and did not make as much as Grace, That is unusual at that time frame in history because men were the breadwinners of the households and the women would do all the house chores. The things that I believe that most influenced Ernest Hemingway psychologically through his life would have to be the role his mother had on him and also the influence women besides his mother, and it could be seen with the characters Margot Macomber and Francis Macomber from Ernest Hemingway’s story , “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” .
