Conclusion Abstract: Ernest Hemingway’s prose style has left a lasting effect on the way American literature is written and taught, and his name is legendary in literary circles. His style was deeply influenced by the time he spent working as a newspaper reporter before and after World War I, which also affected him deeply. From these experiences, this paper examines the roots of his stylistic uniqueness and the specific influences that his time at the Kansas City Star and other newspapers left on him.
The Grapes of Wrath has been publicly accepted as a reflection of society in that time period. It includes many interactions between the two main groups at the moment, the older group, known as the Lost Generation and the GIs. One of the most heated debates among historians and sociologists has been whether or not the Greatest Generation was as noble and ethical as it has come to be known. Members of that generation are those born after 1902 all the way to those who were old enough to fight in World War II. Several authors have expressed their opposing viewpoints in their book chapters and essays.
The above said is widely confirmed in his next published novel, Three soldiers. With this novel, Dos Passos expressed his true feelings about war. Is one of the key American war stories, and we can see its influence in various works done recently. Two well-known examples of this are the movies Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola, 1979) and Full Metal Jacket (Stanley Kubrick, 1987) since both movies talk about the de-humanizing factors of war, and how we get to do a great amount of things that heard and seen from another point of view seem ridiculous. Three soldiers is not about the war, is about the impact of the war and times on the ordinary soldier, just like the movies mentioned above.

Trident University International Edward M. Massey Module 1 Case Assignment Course Number: ETH501 Dr. Gary Shelton 7 October 2013 Patriarch of Fraud: Adelphia Communications Scandal John Rigas, grew up during the Great Depression in Wellsville, New York and like many Americans he enlisted and served his country during World War II (WWII). Although he may have taken on some deontological ethics during this time period, such as respecting your neighbor's natural rights (Infamy, 2009). However; at some point after the resolution of WWII, his moral and ethical values changed, as it did in most Americans; developing a staunch opposition to the Soviet Union, convinced the people of this nation to forcefully and zealously embrace the free market system as well as the democratic notion of the good. With that mindset, John Rigas began his first business venture by purchasing a movie theater in Coudersport, Pennsylvania (PA). Fortuitously, Adelphia was founded in 1952 when John Rigas purchased his first television cable company in Coudersport, PA for $300.
Rushdie vs. Hemingway Salman Rushdie and Ernest Hemingway both write with very different styles. In Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Rushdie writes with a great deal of details, forcing the reader to see exactly what Rushdie is imagining. He uses that and foreshadowing to put together his creative story together. Hemingway, on the other hand, is quite different from Rushdie in that he uses very little detail in In Our Time to convey scenes and events. Comparatively, Hemingway isn’t nearly as descriptive as Rushdie is.
In Robert Southey’s “The Battle of Blenheim”, the writer uses age and experience as a method of portraying two very different perspectives of the war that took place in Blenheim. Throughout the ballad, there is a very noticeable phrase that’s mentioned many times. Old Kasper, a man who is a father, has experienced the effects of war, and is literally named “Old” for the sake of being only portrayed as a man experienced in life, always refers to the battle as a “famous victory” or a “great victory”. It becomes more and more evident this phrase was a result of conditioning and propaganda post-war to mask its tragedies when Kasper’s son asks him about the war. "Now tell us all about the war, And what they fought each other for."
Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner are some of the most significant authors during their period. There are several factors and reasons why many people used to compare their works and their ways of narrating their stories. They are similar and yet different from one another. This paper will discuss the similarities and differences of the two authors in terms of their attack and writing styles with one of the hundreds of narratives – Hemingway’s “A Movable Feast” and Faulkner’s “Four Letters for Paris, 1925.” Hemingway and Faulkner are rivals when it comes to writing. Their genres and attack within their narratives are different from one another.
This evidence shows that the way people saw the war was changing. The people didn’t want to see their husbands, kids, friends, or their neighbors fighting in such a horrifying war. The media coverage changed the way people saw the war because it made them realize that there were thousands of Americans dying overseas in a war that they didn’t need to be involved in. The Vietnam changed people’s view about the war, “The Vietnam War was the most extensively covered war in history. This coverage was thought to have had a powerful influence on public opinion and therefore on political decision making”.
