Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway was one of America's most well known authors. Hemingway was a talented author who developed his skill in literature since his high school  career as a newspaper journalist. Hemingway, like most authors remained unknown, until he had written and published one of his finest works, The Sun Also Rises. Hemingway was a talented writer, but corrupted by the aftermath of World War I. Later in his life, after many successful stories he had written and published, Hemingway lost his "Hemingway style," or his style of writing in his stories. His greatest work, The Old Man and the Sea was Hemingway's "greatest" published piece yet. Hemingway was a man of youth, with a history of many wives, and divorces. Even after much success with his career as an author, on July 2, 1961, Ernest Hemingway committed suicide. Despite his death, his work of literature is still admired to this day.

  1. I like how you give the reader an idea on the sheer amount of famous stories he has written. This helps create Hemingway a bigger image. However, I feel like there could be more details about the stories, such as what influenced him to write them.
