  • The emotional responses between speakers are implied, not described, as speech follows speech.
  • It is about the relationship of the man and the woman as revealed through the action and dialogue.
  • rficially, this is the story of an aborted fishing trip; quintessentially it is the story of a collapsing relationship whose outcome is unresolved
  • Hemingway wrote of his narrative strategy that "if a writer of prose knows enough about what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as if the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water."
  • the reader more easily perceives the submerged structures that support the visible parts of his later fiction,
  • Hemingway's narrative technique was taking. The story is presented obliquely, its effect created as much by what is omitted as by what is overtly stated.

      The start of the lit crticism
  • one of the finest prose stylists in English,"
  • The presenter of the 1954 Nobel Prize in literature said: "With masterly skill [Hemingway] reproduces all the nuances of the spoken word, as well as those pauses in which thought stands still and the nervous mechanism is thrown out of gear. It may sometimes sound like small talk, but it is not trivial when one gets to know his method. He prefers to leave the work of psychological reflection to his readers and this freedom is of great benefit to him in spontaneous observation."

  • Hemingway has been a powerful mentor, in terms of what it means to create a landscape impressionistically on the page, to make it come alive, pulse, breathe, to 'make the country so that you could walk into it.'
  • Although recognized primarily as a stylist and innovator of form, Hemingway also embraced a distinctly modern, existentialist worldview that influenced twentieth-century literature.

      At a young age and early in his career as an ambulance driver, Ernest already had a horrific war experience.
  • In a letter to Hemingway's father, Ted Brumback, one of Ernest's fellow ambulance drivers, wrote that despite over 200 pieces of shrapnel being lodged in Hemingway's legs he still managed to carry another wounded soldier back to the first aid station; along the way he was hit in the legs by several machine gun bullets. Whether he carried the wounded soldier or not, doesn't diminish Hemingway's sacrifice.

      Hemingway has consideration to try to save a fellow soldier.
  • Hemingway's wounding along the Piave River in Italy and his subsequent recovery at a hospital in Milan, including the relationship with his nurse Agnes von Kurowsky, all inspired his great novel A Farewell To Arms.
