Ernest Hemmingway

     Ernest Hemmingway is a brilliant author who's stories were based of off his adventures in real life. His writing style was also inspired by other writers like Mark Twain. All of his stories were inspired by at least one his adventures in real life and one unique writing style. Some of his stories like  2 big hearted river, and in another country, relate to his time in the war and show his insecurity of his masculinity, since they both involve violence and depression. Most of his stories show a lot of masculinity in the characters and the setting, this is because when he was child his mother dressed as a girl and cut his hair to make him look like a girl, so he wants to do and write a manly story to make up for what he had to go through as a child. A cat in the rain reflects Ernest's love life, because he's had multiple wives and always loses interest in them like the husband in the story. All of Hemmingway's stories form a sort of emotional timeline for his life. Each story shows what he was feeling at the time, his current relationship status, and what his interest were at the time.
