Davis Tuggle Landreneau AP English Language & Composition September 22, 2011 Decrypting the Hemingway Cypher Ernest Hemingway uses unparalleled technique and style to capture his audience in ways never done before. Hemingway was born July 2nd, 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois. He is a very famous author and journalist. It is quite obvious that Hemingway’s private life influences his writing a great deal. This is most noticeable in In Our Time and “Observations on the Style of Ernest Hemingway” by Harry Levin.
As one of the greatest American authors ever, "He wins our assent, perhaps now more than ever. His emotions were prophetic, his antennae were out to the truth"(Bloom 201). These words, nonetheless, describe the great Ernest Hemingway. Born in 1899, Hemingway covered nearly every war by way of journalism, as well as fighting, until his passing in 1961. With this journalism came his signature journalistic style of writing to express feeling and emotions, such as in one of his well known short stories "Indian Camp".

Now he was a sturdy, straw-haired man of thirty with a rather hard mouth and a supercilious manner.
Introduction I’ve chosen this theme for essay as I wanted to learn more information about historical figure Ernesto “Che” Guevara , the ultimate revolutionary icon and a symbol of rebellion, nonconformity, and social inequality. He always fought so the common man could be equal. He showed this throughout his childhood, his college days, his role in the Cuban Revolution, and his revolutionary work in Africa and South America to his death. This essay includes quotations of Che’s contemporaries and journalists about his personality, as I think that these quotations will help to understand the image of Ernesto Guevara. Additionally, he was a prolific writer and diarist, composing a seminal manual on guerrilla warfare, along with a best-selling memoir about his youthful motorcycle journey across South America.

As evinced by the author’s admiration of both the city and his peers, Paris was the fountain of inspiration that stimulated the generation of many of his renowned works, such as the novel The Sun Also Rises. Throughout the course of the entire piece, Hemingway intertwines his encounter with notable figures, romantic hours spent with his loving wife, Hadley, and his reflective time by himself. As stated in the opening, the book follows no “strict chronological order” (Hemingway, 5). Instead, the chapters are loosely tied together by the mention of figures who had been introduced in the preceding pages.

An example of this is in his novel The Sun Also Rises. His unique writing style sparked reader’s interests from the beginning of his career in the 1920s. His simple and direct prose complemented by the use of short and factual sentences and his repetitive dialogue demanded that readers look beyond the surface. Hemingway termed this technique as the Iceberg Theory.
