Ernest Hemingway Short Story
605 words
Ernest Hemingway was a very talented writer of
short stories. He is even thought by many to be
better at writing short stories than at writing
his novels. He portrays the philosophy of
existentialism. A philosophy that is centered upon
the analysis of existence and of the way man finds
himself existing in the world. He combines this
with a code that Hemingway expects his characters
to adhere to. They are, a person must be
responsible for their actions, a near death
experience is probably as clos...

his revenge by blowing his brains all over the
