Earnest Hemingway was well known as a strong writer, but what many readers of his do not know about is the inspiration he gained throughout his life and experiences that made him a very prolific writer. There are events in his life from childhood to adulthood that helped accustom to his very unique style of writing. Hemingway was a different kind of writer than others; he often used reoccurring words of specific diction in order to create an effect on the reader. Every single one of his books were based off of something, as Hemingway was not the type of writer who sat in a log cabin writing all day. Hemingway was a man of great experiences, and his life was full of many inspirations that had helped attribute to his novels and unique writing style. Every idea of his was based off of personal experience, which he found inspiring. This is what makes him such a unique and original writer in my mind, due to his amazing life experiences.
While Hemingway was growing up, he had a very unique mother who led a career path that most of his readers would not expect. Hemingway’s mother was a classically trained musician, who has studied lots of music throughout her life, mainly classical as I have stated but different types of music and styles as well.

...y interesting writer, and his stories are very unique from other writers.
In conclusion, I feel like I have discovered truly why Hemingway writes about what he does and where he gets all his ideas from. I believe that all Hemingway has written about has been derived from nothing else but personal experience. I’ve learned that Hemingway has learned what he knows about writing and has developed his unique style through personal experience, whether it had been his times of romance, his childhood, and his times during the war, etc. He has learned on his own from living his own life; it is almost as if he would go out and find something interesting to do so that he would be inspired to write more. Earnest Hemingway in general just seems like the type of person who has many stories to tell; if he were still alive, he truly would be someone I would like to meet.

Under such scrutiny, many aspects of Hemingway’s works and life experiences have been in question to the realities and fallacies, which he laid forth. Much of Hemingway’s life, especially his time volunteering as an ambulance driver in Europe, has been in question to the true validity of his myth as a true adventurer and hero.

1185 wordsRead More - Essay On Ernest Hemingwayanalytical essayErnest Hemingway was a great American author whom started his career humbly in a newspaper office in Kansas City at the ripe, young age of seventeen. Once the United States joined World War One, Hemingway deemed it fit to join a volunteer ambulance service. During this time Hemingway was wounded, and decorated by the Italian Government for his noble deeds. Once he completely recovered, he made his way back to the United States. Upon his arrival he became a reporter for the American and Canadian newspapers and was sent abroad to cover significant events. For example, he was sent to Europe to cover the Greek revolution. During his early adulthood, Hemingway became a member of the group of expatriate Americans in Paris. This is known as the time in his life in which he describes in two of his novels; A Farewell to Arms and The Sun Also Rises the latter of the two being his first work. Hemingway was able to use his experiences of serving in the front during the war and his experience of being with other expatriates after the war to shape both of these novels. He was able to successful write these novels due to his past experience with working for newspapers. His experience with the newspaper seemed to be far more beneficial than just supplying him with an income, with the reporting experience under his belt he also was able to construct another novel that allowed him to sufficiently describe his experiences reporting during the Civil War; For Whom the Bell Tolls. Arguably his most tremendous short novel was a about an old fisherman’s journey and the long, lonely struggle with a fish and the sea with his victory being in defeat.
