Hemingway like Jake served in WWI and his injury was derived from serving in this war. Soldiers in the war did not have faith in God anymore because they constantly prayed day and night hoping not to pass away, but it seemed as if these prayers could not save men. It should not be forgotten that new modes of warfare were introduced which included trenches, grenades and poisonous gas. Numerous soldiers died day in day out and the soldiers who witnessed these deaths pleaded with God hoping to stay alive. Clearly, faith would be questioned if prayer requests were being delivered without answers. Hemingway addresses the absence of God or religion and morals in the lost generation. This is a trait of a Hemingway hero called the concept of nada. According to Miles, ““nada”focuses on man’s confrontation with the absence of God, the indifference
