Lieutenant Henry Italian Army
1,270 words
A Farewell to Arms: The work presented by Ernest
Hemingway was one of enormous magnitude. On the
outside the work is presented as a simple story of
war and love and the details that go along with
the storyline. The simplistic manner in which the
story is unfolded is obviously an attempt to force
the reader to read between the lines. By leaving
the emotions and the motivations for the reader to
interpret, Hemingway is forcing the reader to try
and relate to the characters. I found this to be a

Hero in Hemingway's writing The Sun Also Rises The
remarkable thing about the book was its liberal
use of dialogue and how Hemingway used it to carry
the reader through the book. There was no plot in
the book in the sense that there was no twists,
intrigue, or goals for any of the characters and
the dialogue was the only thing that moved the
