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.
