I've reread some of the other slop from HS english like Salinger and Fitzgerald and have been disappointed recently.

i prefer his short stories just like salinger

>>24530777 (OP)
No

>>24530777 (OP)
No. Americans fell for this nasty trend of terse writing called "Iceberg theory" which was really just an excuse to write like an average chump and mass produce slop.

>>24530788
yup, Fitzgerald and Hemingway both were incredible short story writers

>>24530777 (OP)
He is perfect for HS because only 15 yr olds would enjoy him.

>Not reading old man and the sea

Read The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber and The Snows of Kilimanjaro and decide for yourself. I liked them enough to where I will read all of his short stories. Some are hit or miss. I haven't gotten to his other classic Hills Like White Elephants yet, but the two I mentioned above are good and great and The Capital of the World is also a funny little story.

>>24530777 (OP)
Hemmingway is cool. I like his works.

>>24530777 (OP)
Was Hemingway the Miles Davis of literature?

Vignette from In Our Time:
>While the bombardment was knocking the trench to pieces at Fossalta, he lay very flat and sweated and prayed oh jesus christ get me out of here. Dear jesus please get me out. Christ please please please christ. If you’ll only keep me from getting killed I’ll do anything you say. I believe in you and I’ll tell every one in the world that you are the only one that matters. Please please dear jesus. The shelling moved further up the line. We went to work on the trench and in the morning the sun came up and the day was hot and muggy and cheerful and quiet. The next night back at Mestre he did not tell the girl he went upstairs with at the Villa Rossa about Jesus. And he never told anybody.
Yes.

>>24531402
Hills Like White Elephants fucking sucked

>>24530777 (OP)
"for whom the bell tolls" is supposedly one of his best books, and it was completely forgettable. would not recommend.

His great-granddaughter is really pretty

>>24532271 They look dope together, doe. Ebony and Ivory.

>>24530791
Are these Americans in your walls?

>>24532345
That is a young gentleman of the tribe of David is it not?

>>24530791
Hemingway just copied the French writers

>>24530826
What 15-year-old would like The Old Man & the Sea? Or For Whom the Bell Tolls? Are you stupid?

>>24533093
Which ones?

>>24530777 (OP)
yeah, he was pretty good
