English ­ Written Assignment ­ 2
Ernest Hemingway and the Indian Camp ­ By Kristian Løth Munkholm His name was Ernest Miller Hemingway, and he was born on July 21. in
1899. Ernest grew up in a Chicago suburb, more specifically in Oak Park,
Illinois. His family was well respected, somewhat because of his parents being well educated. The mother of Ernest was named Grace Hall­Hemingway, and she was an experienced musician. Grace frequently performed at local concerts in Oak
Park, with extraordinary passion and energy. Hemingway's father, named
Clarence Edmonds Hemingway, was a well educated physician who worked in their home town of Oak Park. As a young boy, Ernest’s parents bought a summer home at Walloon Lake in Michigan. The lakeside summer house, named Windmere, was a place of joy. When Ernest was four years old, his father teached him to hunt, fish and camp in the woods. A day in the early 1918, Ernest responded to a World War One military draft from the red cross of Kansas City. He was chosen to drive an ambulance in the northern Italy, and by that he met what was going to be one of his best friends ever, John
Dos Passos. The first time Ernest fell in love, was also in Italy, and his heart belonged to, Agnes von kurowsky. As it has shown in these later years, Ernest was born for writing. After returning to the US, Ernest worked as a freelance writer. He then later worked as an associate editor in the magazine Cooperative
Commonwealth.

On the second of July 1961, after an ill­feeling year for Mr.
Hemingway, he chose to commit suicide. He walked to his basement and unlocked his favourite gun from his safe. Even though the press framed the suicide as “accidental”, he did

    Since the dawn of life, every organism, unless created through asexual reproduction methods, has had a mother and a father figure, even if they are not around for a significant period of time. Despite the fact that some organisms such as the Cryptodira Chelonioidea, or sea turtle, are abandoned before birth and still turn out the way that most do, most creatures do benefit from having a mother and father, whether they be related to them genetically or emotionally, Deborah Lacks is not an exception to this. While Deborah Lacks was still a little girl, she lost her genetic mother, Henrietta Lacks, to cervical cancer, and due to this, she did not have the certain type of guidance that mothers can bestow upon their children. However, by losing her genetic mother, she had a spot for an emotional mother to come in, whom she eventually found in the year 2000 in the form of a student, a writer, and a soon to be close friend, Rebecca Skloot.

    In Ernest Hemingway’s short story “Hills Like White Elephants,” Hemingway surprisingly engages the reader with ambiguous dialogue and character detail necessitating use of extensive symbolism within the setting to encourage the readers active participation. The glaring lack of key details concerning the characters, an American man and a girl named Jig, and their disjointed conversation provide little real substance to comprehend the conflict at hand. In trying to determine what operation is being discussed this statement provides little clue, “I know you wouldn’t mind it, Jig. It’s really not anything. It’s just to let the air in” (Hemingway 592). If anything this ambiguous statement promotes further confusion. So it is necessary for the reader…
