Ernest Hemingway is one of the greatest well known author to date. Hemingway was and is especially popular because of his writing style. One thing that I like about Hemingway is his use of personal experiences in his writing. I also liked that his writing had a deeper meaning in it.
Before knowing more biographical information on Hemingway, I didn't see any connection to him. I just saw a story. But by learning about Hemingway I learned that personal experiences were a key factor in his writing. An example of this is in his story The Old Man and the Bridge. This story was written by Hemingway. This story takes place during the Spanish Civil War, and its no surprise that Hemingway was a reporting on the Spanish Civil War. I find it amazing that one could write about experiences that you had.
I also like that Hemingway's writing has a deeper meaning because I enjoy something that has meaning. (Not About that shallow life). I will say that the first time reading his stories, i didn't see anything until doing an analysis and hearing his iceberg theory. The iceberg theory basically says that most of something is underneath the surface, like an iceberg out at sea. You can only see the top but you know there is more ice underneath the ocean. Thats what I like and learned from Hemingway
