Para3:What did Hemingway do to achieve his ambition to become a writer
Ernest Hemingway(1899-1961) was an American novelist and short-story writer who came to literary prominence following the First World War, as a member of the so called “Lost Generation ”in the 1920s. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He had an understated prose style and a restrained method of exposition, which he termed the “ iceberg theory”(because he believed that a great deal could be understood in a narration even if it was deliberately unmentioned). His most famous novels include The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Old Man and the Sea.
” I decided that I would write one story about each thing that I knew about.”
Having set himself this goal, he wrote novels and short stories based on his personal experiences of the First World War, the Spanish Civil War, bullfighting and deep-sea fishing , amongst others.
On leaving high school, he joined a local Kansas newspaper as a trainee reporter.
He went to become foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star and used his extraordinary experiences in Europe and later Cuba to inform his writing.
