Ernest Hemingway was born in Cicero, Illinois, on July 21, 1899. His full name was Ernest Miller Hemingway, education at Oak Park and River Forest High School. He died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 02, 1961. Ernest lived through several life threatening injuries like; anthrax, malaria, pneumonia, skin cancer, hepatitis, diabetes, two plane crashes, and so on. He was also a failed KGB spy. Ernest lost his wife in the first plane crash, but the next day he was in another. One day Ernest was at his favorite bar and took a urinal home with him, because he said that he has pissed some much money away into this urinal that he might as well own it by now.

...his people. I think he refused to go, because he felt sense he left his animals behind, that he deserves to left behind by his people.

I wish the old man would have just went with the rest of his people, because he did the best thing he could have done for the animals. In my eyes this story was very well written, and stays on the topic through out the whole story very well. If I could have changed anything in this story, it would be, I would have given the old man a name. The reason I would have given him a name is because the whole time I was reading this story I was wondering who the old man was.
