- 161: A Clean Well Lighted Place
- "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place Earnest Hemingway s "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" The main focus of "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" is on the pain of old age suffered by a man that we meet in a cafe late one night. Hemingway contrasts light and dark to show the difference between this man and the young people around him, and uses his deafness as an image of his separation from the rest ... the old man's life at a point where he has realized the pointlessness of life and finds himself the lonely object of derision. The most obvious image used by Hemingway in this story is that of the contrast between light and dark. The cafe is a "Clean, Well-Lighted Place". It is a refuge from the darkness of night. ...

- ... and informative writing. This essay will show how authors use interesting and informative writing by reviewing four selected pieces of prose: Sherwood Anderson's Hands, James Joyce's Araby, Ernest Hemingway's Hills Like White Elephants, and Toni Cade Bambara's The Lesson. Banbara's ethnical essay, The Lesson, immediately jumps out as being judgemental. BAmbara catches the attention of her ... but feels that this extremity could be better described with amouther choice of words. Bambara's technique for giving informatiove and interesting information falls short in her four-page story. Hemingway's choppy Hills LIke White Elephants leaves much to be desired. It takes the reader teh entire length of the story to half-way figure out what the subject is. Hemingway's evasiveness regarding the subject confuses the reader and adds instability to the writing. Although he sets the scene quite descriptively and allows tthe dialogue to flow naturally, many ...

- 165: The Old Man and the Sea
- The Old Man and the Sea Ernest Hemingway wrote the Old Man and the Sea. It's the story of Santiago (The Old Man). Santiago is an old Cuban fisherman who lives off the coast of the Gulf ... the old man was the carcass from the marlin. The Old Man and the Sea was an average story in my opinion. I have heard so many things about Ernest Hemingway being such a great author. The book did not really catch my interest. Hemingway goes into too much detail in certain items. Take away the detail and the 125-page story would be a lot shorter. I do not plan on reading any ...

- ... lived up to what my friends had said about it. The book was one of the best classic stories I have read, it had a good story and good description. Hemingway could paint the pictures in my mind.

He ends up killing all the sharks and he gets home safely, and exhausted. Ernest Hemingway is an author of the past. Compared to a more modern author, like say, John Grisham, he has different and unique qualities. Hemingway likes to use lots of descriptive phrases, while leaving little room for actual character discussion. Grisham, on the other hand, makes sure that there is a lot of character ...

In Ernest Hemingway’s “Indian Camp,” the conflict between cultures again cause a difference of views of the father. The concept of heroism and violation becomes the issue of conflict. The father or ... not to have her baby on her own. “She had been trying to have her baby for two days. All the old women in the camp had been helping her” (Hemingway 16). Because the Indian woman had been trying to have her baby for the last two days with the help of the other Indian women, it shows the Indians reluctance to call for help outside of the camp itself. “Uncle George looked at his arm. The young Indian smiled reminiscently” (Hemingway 18). During the operation, the young Indian woman bit the arm of uncle George. Her smiling conveys her lack of appreciation for his help during the procedure. The Indian ...

- ... become one with it. Though it may sound refreshing to know that man can appreciate nature, being truly considerate of nature is virtually impossible. A person who has read Ernest Hemingway's final novel, The Old Man and the Sea, and has interpreted the protagonist as a lover of all creatures is manipulated by Hemingway's usage of biblical allusions to suggest a concealed Christ figure in the old man, Santiago. Hemingway's novel uses the timeless theme of man versus nature to tell a story, with the support of allusions to Christ, of an old man who, after losing his ...
