Farewell To Arms Hemingway Style

declarative, subject-verb-object sentence. His
writing has been likened to a boxers punches
combinations of lefts and rights coming at us
without pause. Take the following passage: We were
all cooked. The thing was not to recognize it. The

the bomb works, had I known of the destructive

motionless on a shelf, staring coolly back at
their live counterparts. W...
