A Farewell to Arms: Style Critics usually describe Hemingway’s style as simple‚ spare‚ and journalistic. These are all good words; they all apply. Perhaps because of his training as a newspaperman‚ Hemingway is a master of the declarative‚ subject-verb-object sentence. His writing has been likened to a boxer’s punches--combinations of lefts and rights coming at us without pause. Take the following passage: We were all cooked. The thing was not to recognize it. The last country to realize they were

Today‚ I stand before you‚ with a lot of emotions; quite similar to those I faced the first day I entered this building. It was not just a building; it was a place that slowly but surely over the next seven years I could call a home.These seven years seem like such a long journey and you wake up one day and realize that suddenly‚ it’s all over... and all you can do is dramatize because as much as they tell you to look ahead‚ you just can’t stop looking back. When writing this speech‚ for the first
