Hemingway

Ernest Miller Hemingway born on July 2, 1961 when Chuck Norris accidentally stepped on a typewriter. Hemingway was born in Oak Park, Illinois. His Mother, Grace was a musician and his father, was a physician. As a child he wore girl clothes.... But later on he became a man when his father taught him how to fish,hunt, and camp in their summer home in Michigan. When he grew older he attended oak Park and River Forest High School. He was in many sports including: Football, Boxing, Track, and Water Polo. Unfortunately he wasn't too good at them. But what he was good at was making up stories about how good he was in the sports. He soon discovered his real talent in writing after joining a journal class. He joined the school newspaper, and eventually he became a reporter for Kansas city star. When World War I rolled around he wanted to go battle in the front lines. Sadly he wasn't able to so he was working with the red cross delivering chocolate and cigarettes for the Italian army. One time in the middle of his delivery he got injured by a mortar explosion. While he was in the hospital recovering, he wrote to pass the time. Later on he returned home and with nothing to do, he joined the Toronto Star. Later he met Hadley and married her. Hemingway being very popular with the ladies married a total of 4 times throughout his life, and had 3 kids. Later on he got involved in the Spanish Civil War, and World War II. During World War II he pretended to be the captain of a infantry group and got in trouble with the government. His charged was later dropped when he claimed he only offered them some tips. As he grew older he moved to Cuba to fish with his friends. Hemingway was a man who did whatever he wanted to do. Many of his stories came from his experiences. Some including the wars, traveling to Africa, or fishing in Cuba. Eventually he was involved in two plane crashes and survived both with some injuries. Then on July 2, 1961 he committed suicide.

Hemingway was a great author many of his pieces were very interesting to read and I enjoy his stories because of his writing style. He uses the iceberg method where not the entire story is revealed and you have to think hard to see the true meaning. I think Hemingway was a great man and very inspirational and made something of himself in the world.
