Hemingway Voyant Project
Whoever coined the term, “A man of few words”, could have been describing Hemingway. Famous for his short stories, Hemingway’s writing seems simplistic in nature but is often very symbolic. For instance one of his most famous short stories “Hills Like White Elephants” is just a few pages long and the central conflict is never even mentioned. It’s only through… Read more →
Hemingway’s Religion
For our graphs, click here! Since Hemingway was Catholic, we decided to look up various terms pertaining to Catholicism in his works. Wine, which holds a strong association to the Catholic belief, is mentioned 387 times throughout both of Hemingway’s fictional and nonfictional work.

Death in Flashbacks
Though Hemingway’s writing style can seem a bit cold and removed, many of his short stories focus on great adventures and romances. Yet notably these exiting deeds are generally over before Hemingway chooses to start his story. Although we rarely get glimpses into the minds of his characters, Hemingway does offer some flashbacks in his story in order to orient… Read more →

A Very Scientific And Overly Legitimate Method Of Examining Works With Proper Titles!
So if our goal is to not read all of Hemingway and then try to make some generalizations about his writing, what better way to do it than to take the random sample extracted for examination that surely does not suffer from sampling bias given its ample size of three and make some sweeping generalizations based […] Read more →
Feeling Uncertain in Hemingway
Like I said in my last post, I am new to Hemingway. I knew going into his short stories to expect examples of strong men but after having read something like 10 of them I cannot get over the way his characters are quite fragmented. For the most part it seems his character uncertain about Continue Reading Read more →
