The story of “Soldier’s Home” is about a young man, Harold Krebs, returning to his small hometown in Oklahoma following World War I. Krebs has seen much more than the rest of his family and those in his town, and he struggles to just return to normal life like they expect him to. Krebs is stuck in his own world and does not know how to invite people in or if they would even fit in the world that he now lives. Much of the conflict in “Soldier’s Home” is within Krebs himself. It seems, to some degree

Ernest Hemingway Ernest Hemingway enlisted in the army at age 18, but he was unable to pass the US Army exam. Together with his friend, Ted Brumback, he volunteered as an ambulance driver in the International Red Cross Organization. As a driver, he was affiliated with the Italian Medical Corps in the Alpine Front. During his assignment, a shrapnel exploded in his leg, and he was evacuated to a hospital in Milano where he spent two months and was unable to walk. Later, Hemingway returned to the front

to the bullfight to watch the steers. Steers are cut off from the heights of glory to which the bulls ascend. The diction is clearly on the side of the bulls. The bulls are the more attractive and "noble" of the two images. However, I feel that Hemmingway prefers the less dazzling, but more stable, life of the steers.             Hemmingway's preference for steers is shown in the implicit and explicit critiques of bulls. One such critique is implicit in Robert Cohn's actions. When he trades the

The literary styles of Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald demonstrate the idea that although there are some similarities in their writing styles, there are also many differences. The main literary similarity between these two writes is a focus on symbolism. For Hemmingway, this could be seen in his short story “Big Two-Hearted River” which uses various innocuous-seeming things to represent larger themes. One example of this is the swamp. Hemingway describes it by saying, “In the swamp fishing

Analysis of “Cat in the Rain” Hemmingway juggles heavy themes as gender roles and identity in a minimalistic and colloquial style of writing , in his short story of fiction, “Cat in the Rain” from the collection of short stories – “In our Time” which was published in 1925. The story takes place in Italy. The setting is a hotel at the seaside on a rainy day. “Italians came from a long way off to look up at the war monument. It was made of bronze and glistened in the rain. It was raining.” The war

Sea The novel by Ernest Hemmingway, entitled The old man and the sea is no doubt an excellent piece of art, it caught also caught my attention because of its setting. My father was once a fisherman and we lived by the sea so I had gained empathy on the old man Santiago. What I like about the novel is its sense of adventure engraved in every chapter , the confidence of the characters of the story and the realizations of the characters was expressed by Ernest Hemmingway in a most creative way

Megan Skolmen 13 February Hills like White Elephants Ernest Hemingway First Published August 1927 I read a short story called Hills like White Elephants, by Ernest Hemmingway. This story presents to the readers a conversation between a young man and women who are located at a station, drinking beer, arguing whilst waiting for a train to take them to Madrin - the town in which we learn the girl is said to be having an operation. Overall, this text was one which I quite enjoyed. Although upon reading

Ernest Hemmingway uses time, place, and symbolism in "Hills like White Elephants" to intensify the central dilemma in a story about a man and a woman deciding on whether to go through with an abortion. Although a literal reading of the title may not seem to have any relation to the story, the title is rich in implications. Critics suggest that "Hills" refers to the shape of a woman's stomach when pregnant, and Webster's 21st Century Dictionary defines white elephant as: "[An] awkward, useless possession

The Importance of being earnest Themes Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work. The Nature of Marriage Marriage is of paramount importance in The Importance of Being Earnest, both as a primary force motivating the plot and as a subject for philosophical speculation and debate. The question of the nature of marriage appears for the first time in the opening dialogue between Algernon and his butler, Lane, and from this point on the subject never disappears

in on their conversation while trying to figure out what the people in the predicament are talking about. In the story, “Hills like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemmingway, the American and the girl use this same tactic while in the cramped bar patio in the train station in Spain. The difficult situation the couple is facing is concealed within Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills like White Elephants.” This can be seen by examining the problem latent within the story, the use vague pronouns, and what consequences
