Ernest Hemingway
There were many great authors of the twentieth century. ... Hemingway was one of the writers who used his disastrous yet exciting life and adventures to his writing advantage. Ernest Hemingway, who earned many prestigious awards, devoted most of his writing career to writing about his life and the hardships he faced.
Ernest Miller Hemingway was born the second of six children on July 21, 1849, in Oak Park, Illinois, to Grace Hall and Clarence Edmonds Hemingway. ... Hemingway may have shared his father’s interests at an early age, but perhaps the most important person in his life was his mother (Donaldson 173). Hemingway attended Oak Park and River Forest high schools where he wrote for the school paper and school literary magazine and participated in sports such as boxing, swimming, and football. After high school, Hemingway did not attend college but instead began writing for the Kansas City Star and later the Toronto Star and Star Weekly. Rejected for regular military service because of his poor eyesight, Hemingway drove a Red Cross ambulance in Italy during World War I at the age of nineteen. While being treated in a Red Cross hospital in Milan for injuries he received from stray shrapnel, Hemingway fell in love with a beautiful nurse, Agnes von Kurowsky. She rejected Hemingway, saying that he was too young for her therefore, instead, Hemingway made her the model for the heroine in one of his novels (Gerogiannis 188). Hemingway later moved to Paris as a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star Weekly. ... In 1928, Hemingway’s father committed suicide; something that Hemingway never fully recovered from. That same year, Hemingway moved to Key West, Florida, set up a house for writing, and began deep-sea fishing. Four years later, after going on a two-month marlin fishing expedition to Havana, Hemingway found his basis for his novel, The Old Man and the Sea.
