Ernest Hemingway -- Americans as Nonconformists in “A Man of the World” and “Hills Like White Elephants”
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses two of Ernest Hemingway’s short stories in terms of how they serve as an example of an American as a rebel rather than a conformist. The writing produced by Ernest Hemingway was in itself an act of rebellion that personifies the unique character of how Americans want or believe they should be perceived -- brash, self-sufficient, able to move beyond what most people would presumably consider personal setbacks, even the ability to detach one’s self from personal tragedy and see it in a humorous light. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Ernest Hemingway and “Hills Like White Elephants” -- An Example of a Literary Iceberg Beneath the Surface
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses Ernest Hemingway’s short stories and the ways in which he presents only the “tip of the iceberg” and the impact of the story lies beneath the surface, left to the imagination of the reader. It seems remarkably clear that Hemingway was determined, in virtually all of his writing, to demonstrate an alternative way of thinking that reflected his own alternative attitudes regarding the status quo. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Ernest Hemingway and the Impact of War on the Human Psyche
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses Ernest Hemingway’s writing that is directly related to his experiences and observations of war and how it has an impact on the psyche of the individual human being. For Hemingway, war serves as a constant in his literary focus and allows for his readers to consider the realities of war in the context in which he wants them to see it rather than in terms of political or even personal points of view. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell To Arms"
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. Ernest Hemingway placed himself in all of his works; however, it can readily be argued that none were as personal as A Farewell To Arms. The poignant love story set in the backdrop of World War I is more of an autobiography of the author's own war experience than it is a work of fiction. The writer discusses plot, characterization and underlying themes. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Ernest Hemingway's "Indian Camp" - Early Childhood Trauma And Personality Formation
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Childhood experiences - both good and bad - serve to formulate an individual's lifelong perspectives, judgments and beliefs, all of which ultimately construct his personality. Parents toil especially hard to make sure every situation has an underlying lesson to take away so the child realizes the importance of learning from everything that happens in one's life. Earnest Hemingway's work sought to pass along this message in virtually all his writings, not the least of which is the traumatic encounter Nick Adams undergoes in Indian Camp and how it was instrumental in shaping the boy's personality with regard to compassion for his fellow man. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Ernest Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises": Men And Women
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. True to form in depicting a somewhat skewed perception of reality, females are one dimensional in the vast lot of Ernest Hemingway novels. This assertion has been noted by myriad critics, with one going so far as to say that Hemingway feels an obligation to introduce women, though he does not know what to do with them beyond taking them to bed. One novel in particular – "The Sun Also Rises" – brings forth much negativity between Brett and Jake, inasmuch as Brett cannot bring herself to overlook the unexpected impotence Jake experiences after the war. The detrimental impact that has upon Jake as a man and as an individual is enough to make him believe he is worthless as a human being. The domino effect of Brett's shallow perspective appears as a barrier between men and women throughout the novel, effectively dissolving any true intimacy between the sexes and ultimately compelling the men to bond to a much greater degree with their own gender rather than with the women. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
