Topic Discussion: Write no less than 150 words on each of the following topics in English.Greatly and permanently affected by the war experiences, Hemingway formed his own writing style, together with his theme and hero. Please discuss Hemingway’s writing style in relation to his novels you have read.
GREATLY AND PERMANENTLY AFFECTED BY THE WAR EXPERIENCES, HEMINGWAY FORMED HIS OWN WRITING STYLE IN WRITING:
(1)“THE DIGNITY OF MOVEMENT OF AN ICEBERG IS DUE TO ONLY ONE-EIGHTH OF IT BEING ABOVE WATER.”
(2) GOOD LITERARY WRITING SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE READERS FEEL THE EMOTION OF THE CHARACTERS DIRECTLY AND THE BEST WAY TO PRODUCE THE EFFECT IS TO SET DOWN EXACTLY EVERY PARTICULAR KIND OF FEELING WITHOUT ANY AUTHORIAL COMMENTS, WITHOUT CONVENTIONALLY EMOTIVE LANGUAGE, AND WITH A BARE MINIMUM OF ADJECTIVES AND ADVERBS. SEEMINGLY SIMPLE AND NATURAL, HEMINGWAY’S STYLE IS ACTUALLY POLISHED AND TIGHTLY CONTROLLED, BUT HIGHLY SUGGESTIVE AND CONNOTATIVE.-----“LESS IS MORE”
(3)THE USE OF SHORT, SIMPLE AND CONVENTIONAL WORDS, COLLOQUIALISM AND SENTENCES HAS AN EFFECT OF CLEARNESS, TERSENESS AND GREAT CARE.
AND HERO: 
(1) HEMINGWAY HERO OF ATHLETIC PROWESS AND MASCULINITY AND UNYIELDING HEROISM.
(2) THEY ARE ALWAYS EXPOSED TO AND VICTIMIZED BY VIOLENCE IN VARIOUS FORMS, EG: NICK BECOMES THE PROTOTYPE OF THE WOUNDED HERO WHO, WITH ALL THE DIGNITY AND COURAGE HE COULD MUSTER, CONFRONTS SITUATION WHICH ARE NOT HIS OWN CHOOSING YET THREATEN HIS DESTRUCTION .
(3)THEY ARE A GROUP OF WANDERING, AMUSING, BUT AIMLESS PEOPLE, WHO ARE CAUGHT IN THE WAR AND REMOVED FROM THE PATH OF ORDINARY LIFE.
(4)THEY ARE THE MEN TRAPPED BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY,
(5) IT SEEMS GOD’S DESIGN OR HIS BENEFICENCE THAT MAN IS DOOMED TO BE ENTRAPPED.
(6)THEY BELIEVE: LIFE IS WORTH LIVING AND THERE ARE CAUSES WORTH DYING FOR.
HIS THEME
(1)IN A TRAGIC SENSE, THE STRUGGLE OF HEMINGWAY’S HEROES SHOW: IT IS A REPRESENTATION OF LIFE AS A STRUGGLE AGAINST UNCONQUERABLE NATURAL FORCES IN WHICH ONLY A PARTIAL VICTORY IS POSSIBLE. NEVERTHELESS, THERE IS A FEELING OF GREAT RESPECT FOR THE STRUGGLE AND MANKIND-----THEY ALL HAVE “GRACE UNDER PRESSURE”.
(2)TO MASTER THE CODE WITH THE HONESTY. THE DISCIPLINE, AND THE RESTRAINT ARE HEMINGWAY CODE HEROES. IN THE GENERAL SITUATION OF HIS NOVELS, LIFE IS FULL OF TENSION AND BATTLES; THE WORLD IS IN CHAOS; MAN IS ALWAYS FIGHTING DESPERATELY A LOSING BATTLE. HOWEVER, THOUGH LIFE IS BUT A LOSING BATTLE, IT IS A STRUGGLE MAN CAN DOMINATE IN SUCH A WAY THAT LOSS BECOMES DIGNITY; MAN CAN BE PHYSICALLY DESTROYED BUT NEVER DEFEATED SPIRITUALLY.
