For a true writer, each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed.对真正的作家来说 , 每本书都应该是全新的开始 , 他再度尝试未可及的新的东西 .

3. Introduction of The Old Man and the Sea

Page 12: Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) Presented by 戢婧 徐芙蓉

The Old Man and the Sea is a short novel about an old Cuban fisherman Santiago and his battle with a great marlin.In Santiago we see the spirit of Hemingway type of individualism,contending with a force he knows it is futile to battle with.He keeps on fighting because he believes that “a man is not made for defeat .A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”However ,the old man eventually comes to the realization that in going far out alone,”beyond all the people in the world.”He has met his doom,and he feels good to be one of the human and the natural world.That he begins to experience a feeling of brotherhood and love not for his fellowmen but for his fellow creature in nature is a convincing proof that Hemingway’s vision of the world has undergone a profound change.

4 .The

Lost Generation

Page 14: Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) Presented by 戢婧 徐芙蓉

This term came from Gertrude stein who said in Hemingway’s presence that “you are all a lost generation”.

The lost generation included the young English and American expatriates as well as men and women caught in the war and cut from the old value and yet unable to come to terms with the new era when civilization had gone mad .

These writers adopted unconventional style of writing and reacted against the tendencies of the older writers in the 1920s.

5. The Hemingway Hero

Page 16: Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) Presented by 戢婧 徐芙蓉

调研方法

”grace under pressure”

a world essentially chaotic and meaningless, man fights a solitary struggle against a force he does not even understand, end in defeat, engender a sense of despair

despairing courage, to behave like a man,to assert his dignity in face of adversity

typical Hemingway herores:Nick Adams ,Jake Barnes,Frederic Henry,and Santiago

6. Writing style

“Papa Hemingway”

colloquial style

simple ,apparently natural, direct,clear , fresh,and highly suggestive and connotative.

sentence short ,uncomplicated ,but active; words simple ,but filled with emotion; few modifiers, and great control of pause with action of the story continuing during the silences.

7. Comment

Page 19: Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) Presented by 戢婧 徐芙蓉

1 . Hemingway wrote best earlier in his career , and his chief contributions are in the sense of the short stories .

2 . Influenced by Mark Twain , Hemingway brought the colloquial style to near-perfection.

3. Emphasize emotion : want to recreate for the reader the emotion of being there.

limited his vocabulary to gain some control over his emotion.

4. Iceberg theory of writing , His sentences only give small bit of the meaning, the rest is implied. One must go very deep beneath the suface to understand the full meaning of his writing.
