[stylist] Hemingway

[Ashley Bramlett]

Brigit,
I certainly heard of him. That's why, he is a great
American novelist. Well, I'll try some of his stories. I heard of those 
stories, but did not realize he wrote them.
A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls have been on my list to read.
I read many classics in high school english, and I'm not sure if we read Old 
Man
in the Sea. Maybe we just read a summary.

I didn't take many english classes in college; just the minimum 
requirements. I love reading/writing, but I'm not too analytical nor did I 
like the issues of inaccessible texts. I had to have readers. But when I 
took my psychology classes, most were from RFB and I found it quite helpful.

However, I might take more english classes for continuing education if I 
find any focussed on creative nonfiction.

Ashley

Ashley,

Hemingway is considered one of the great American novelist. He was
writing in the early and mid part of the 20th century. He's known for
creating short sentences opposed to longer sentences still popular at
the time often using flowery, or arcaic language. He'd use these short
sentences full of meaning then throw in longer sentences at times making
the narrative flow. He wrote Old Man and the Sea, A Farewell to Arms,
For Whom the Bell Tolls and many short stories. He's typically studied
in most English classes including high school.

Sincerely,

I don't think I read his works. Are they nonfiction? Wasn't  Hemingway a

poet?
