“If something in life hurts you in life, use it in your writing.” This quote is by Ernest Hemingway, and he made this statement apparent when he wrote his book, “A Farewell to Arms.” In this novel there are many similarities between Hemingway and the main character Fredrick Henry. Once Ernest Hemingway enlisted into the war and was deferred because of his poor vision he became an ambulance driver as did Fredrick in the book. While running a mobile canteen he was hit by a mortar fire and was injured from the waist down. Other similarities include how both Hemingway and Fredrick were not close to their family at all, and how they both fell in love with a nurse while in the hospital for their injures. “Farewell to arms” is an exemplification of his love life as well as his war life as an ambulance driver in World War I.

He hasn't eaten since breakfast and late at night while he waits for Corley to return with money, he orders a meal of peas and vinegar with a bottle of ginger beer for his dinner. He simply doesn't have the money for a proper meal. And, his future looks dismal: it will only get worse.

At the age of 20 former family allies the Taichi'uts captured and temporarily enslaved Genghis, but with the help of a sympathetic captor he was able to escape and reunite with his brothers where he would form his first army of around 20,000 people and begin his slow ascent to power. At first he set out to conquer various tribes and unite the Mongols under his rule.
