Hemingways Generation Hemingway wished to enlist in the military, but his parents objections and his poor eyesight prevented him from attempting to join up. In 1918, Hemingway served briefly as an ambulance driver in Italy. After only a short time serving, he was injured by mortar shrapnel, and was not able to return to duty.

Hemingway moved to Paris in 1921 with his wife Hadley. By 1926 he had divorced Hadley and married his second wife, Pauline. He met and befriended several authors there, including Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, who had just published The Great Gatsby, and was already considered a success. These authors and other Americans who chose to live in Europe at the time were called expatriates. Gertrude Stein is credited with naming this group a lost generation

Why lost? Imagine that you dream to serve.. to fight for your country and come home a hero

and the reality of war is not exactly what you expected.

Hemingway served in the war, but spent the majority of his time in an army hospital. The WWI era was a time of great social change in America. Hemingway and many soldiers returning to the U.S. had a difficult time readjusting to life in the states.

Picture waving goodbye to your mom and dad in 1915, and they look like this: By the time you get back in 1919, they look like this.

Seriously. Is a guy who grew up expecting the dating scene to look like this supposed to know how to deal with women like this?

In 1923, Hemingway witnessed his first bull fight in Pamplona, Spain. He was fascinated with this ancient blood sport, and even began learning the craft himself. He used these experiences to write The Sun Also Rises.

Hemingway published Sun in 1926, and Farewell in 1929. Critics loved his crisp, bold style. His mother was embarrassed by how frankly he discussed sexual matters in his novels.

Hemingways Late Life Troubles: Things are not always as they seem. Hemingway suffered from severe clinical depression at a time when there were not drugs available to control its effects like we can today. The Hemingway that took his own life in 1961 simply was not the same man he was in his early years.

All you have to do is write one true sentence

His writing style Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now. All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know. Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

He was a genius, that uneasy word, not so much in what he wrote as in how he wrote; he liberated our written language. 3 rd wife, Martha Gellhorn

A Hemingway Short Story For Sale. Baby shoes. Never worn. Although he didnt write this story, it has been attributed to him over the years. It can be considered an example of his type of writing. What do you notice? What do you, the reader, have to do in order to understand whats going on?

Static sentences Photographic "snapshot" style to create a collage of images Short sentences build one on another; events build to create a sense of the whole. Multiple strands exist in one story; an "embedded text" bridges to a different angle. He also used other cinematic techniques of "cutting" quickly from one scene to the next; or of "splicing" a scene into another. Intentional omissions allow the reader to fill the gap

Style Fitzgerald vs. Hemingway The Great Gatsby When I came home to West Egg that night I was afraid for a moment that my house was on fire. Two oclock and the whole corner of the peninsula was blazing with light, which fell unreal on the shrubbery and made thin elongating glints upon the roadside wires. Turning a corner, I saw that it was Gatsbys house, lit from tower to cellar. At first I thought it was another party, a wild rout that had resolved itself into hide- and-go-seek or sardines-in-the-box with all the house thrown open to the game. But there wasnt a sound. Only wind in the trees, which blew the wires and made the lights go off and on again as if the house had winked into the darkness. The Sun Also Rises In the morning, I walked down the Boulevard to the Rue Soufflot for coffee and brioche. It was a fine morning. The horse-chestnut trees in the Luxembourg gardens were in bloom. There was the pleasant early-morning feeling of a hot day. I read the papers with the coffee and then smoked a cigarette. The flower- women were coming up from the market and arranging their daily stock. The first six sentences of Chapter 5 in each novel
