Ernest Hemingway was born in Cicero, Illinois, on July 21, 1899. His full name was Ernest Miller Hemingway, a student at Oak Park and River Forest High School. He died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 2, 1961. Ernest experienced several life-threatening injuries including: anthrax, malaria, pneumonia, skin cancer, hepatitis, diabetes, two plane crashes, and more. He was also a failed KGB spy. Ernest lost his wife in the first plane crash, but the next day he found himself in another. One day Ernest was at his favorite bar and took a urinal home with him, because he said he had put a lot of money into that urinal and he might as well own it now. I think Ernest Hemingway is a really awkward person based on some photos I've seen of him. Ernest Hemingway likes to shorten and describe his emotions when he puts them in his books or stories. He also likes not to write or describe things. In my opinion, I believe that Ernest Hemingway lived a very hard and difficult life all his life. Ernest is a very strange man to me, honestly I have never met someone in my life who describes everything I have read about him. He is also a very interesting man who likes to express his feelings, but also what is happening in his life in his stories and his books. I believe that if I read more books or short stories, I would be a better book reader. He explains things in his own words and I believe he and I think the same way or at least on the same level. Ernest is a very sophisticated person who produced most of his works between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s. He won a Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. Apparently, Ernest Hemingway was unlucky or just wasn't good with women, because he had four d... middle of paper... his people. I think he refused to leave, because he felt like he had left his animals behind, that he deserved to be left behind by his people. I wish the old man had left with the rest of his people, because he did the best thing he could have done. could have done for the animals. In my eyes, this story is very well written and stays on topic very well throughout the story. If I could have changed anything about this story it would be, I would have given the old man a name. The reason I would have given him a name is because the whole time I was reading this story I was wondering who the old man was. Works Cited “Ernest Hemingway – Facts”. Nobelprize.org.
