2. Ernest Miller Hemingway was born in Oak Park, Illinois (just outside of Chicago) on
July 21, 1899. His father, Clarence, was a medical doctor and his mother, Grace, was a
voice and piano teacher. As a young boy, his father taught him how to hunt and fish the
untouched wilderness of Northern Michigan. Right away in Horton’s Bay, the young boy
learned a delicate appreciation for the beauty and intricacy of nature, as he could often
be found along the many streams of the area. Although his writing carried him to many
large cities like Paris, Chicago, and Toronto, the undying peace and serenity Ernest
found in Mother Nature continued throughout his life and is certainly evident in his many
works. Hemingway graduated the Oak Park public school system in 1917 and followed
his interest in writing to the Kansas City Star, where he served as a young reporter. In
just his short time at the paper, he learned some aspects of style that would follow him
as an accomplished writer for all his days

3.At this same time, World War I was raging over the grounds of Europe, and Woodrow
Wilson was now unable to stop the United States from entering. Our young masculine
man wanted very badly to enlist in the army and serve in WWI, but his poor eyesight
prevented him from doing so. Instead, he became an ambulance driver for the Red
Cross in Italy. after the United States entered the First World War, he joined a volunteer
ambulance unit in the Italian army. Serving at the front, he was wounded, was decorated by the
Italian Government, and spent considerable time in hospitals.

4. After his return to the United States, he became a reporter for Canadian and
American newspapers and was soon sent back to Europe to cover such events as
the Greek Revolution.
5During the twenties, Hemingway became a member of the group of
expatriate Americans in Paris, which he described in his first important
work, The Sun Also Rises (1926). I can't stnad it to think my life is
going so fast and I'm not really living it.

6. Equally successful was A Farewell to Arms (1929), the study of an
American ambulance officer's disillusionment in the war and his role
as a deserter. Maybe...you'll fall in love with me all over again." "Hell," I said, "I love
you enough now. …
7 Hemingway used his experience as a reporter during the civil war in Spain as the
background for his most ambitious novel, \(1940).

Sea (1952), the story of an old fisherman's journey and his victory in defeat.

not be as stong as I think, but I know many tricks and

I have resolution.” Ernest Hemingway "the old man
and the sea"

9. “Cat in the Rain” is a short story about an American couple on

vacation in Italy set in or around the couple's hotel, which faces the
sea as well as the "public garden and the war monument". Throughout
the story it rains, leaving the couple trapped in their hotel room.

10. What we do know is that at the end of his life, Ernest Hemingway was suffering in
mind, and likely in body as well. Over the course of his life he had weathered malaria,
dysentery, skin cancer, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, and these maladies
had taken their toll. Additionally, he had suffered six serious, essentially untreated
concussions (two within back-to-back years), which left him with headaches, mental
fogginess, ringing in his ears, and very likely a traumatic brain injury. Several years
before his suicide, he was almost killed in two separate plane crashes, in two days,
which ruptured his liver, spleen, and kidneys, sprained several limbs, dislocated his
shoulder, crushed vertebra, left first degrees burns over much of his body, and cracked
his skull, giving him one of the aforementioned concussions (this one so severe that
cerebral fluid seeped out of his ear). He was in constant pain for a long time afterwards,
which he dealt with by drinking even more heavily than he usually did. Hemingway shot
himself in the head a day and a half after returning home from the hospital. Hemingway
died in Idaho in 1961
