A Farewell to Arms, by Ernest Hemingway
A Farewell to Arms BY Ernest Hemingway Book One 1 In the late summer of that year we lived in a house in a village that looked across the river and the plain to the mountains. In the bed of the river there were pebbles and boulders, dry and white in the sun, and the water was clear and swiftly moving and blue in the channels. Troops went by the house and down the road and the dust they raised powdered the leaves of the trees. The trunks of the trees too were dusty and the leaves fell early that year and we saw the troops marching along the road and the dust rising and leaves, stirred by the breeze, falling and the soldiers marching and afterward the road bare and white except for the leaves. The plain was rich with crops; there were many orchards of fruit trees and beyond the plain the mountains were brown and bare. There was fighting in the mountains and at night we could see the flashes from the artillery. In the dark it was like summer lightning, but the nights were cool and there was not the feeling of a storm coming. Sometimes in the dark we heard the troops marching under the window and guns going past pulled by motor-tractors. There was much traffic at night and many mules on the roads with boxes of ammunition on each side of their pack-saddles and gray motor trucks that carried men, and other trucks with loads covered with canvas that moved slower in the traffic. -
Rainy Day Blues: the Role of Weather in a Farewell to Arms the Elements Play a Critical Role in Hemingway's Writings. They
!" Rainy Day Blues: The Role of Weather in A Farewell to Arms The elements play a critical role in Hemingway’s writings. They foreshadow future events, reflect the emotions of characters, and serve as a metaphor for overarching themes. In A Farewell to Arms, weather is heavily symbolic, especially the rain. Throughout the novel, the weather transitions gradually from warm and dry to wet, cold and muddy as the war becomes more real and immediate to Frederic. It is a symbol for mortality, steadily falling as a constant reminder of the violence of the war and the inevitability of death. A Farewell to Arms begins in the summer, when Frederic is living peacefully in the countryside with the other officers. On the first page of the first chapter, the narrator describes the bed of the river, which is shallow and calm. Protruding rocks, “dry and white in the sun” (3), are unsullied by rain and mud, and maintain their white hue, symbolic of their purity--the river bed has yet to be flooded, and it flows along lazily in the summer sun. The rain, and the war, are far away; the artillery flashes in the distance seem benign, “like summer lightning” (3), rather than an actual threat. The narrator, Frederic, remarks that despite these flashes of the distant violence, “the nights were cool and there was not the feeling of a storm coming” (3). The violence is far-off; Frederic reacts to it just as a child who listens to a storm in bed, but snuggles further under the covers and feels safe. -

Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois to Dr. Clarence Edmonds Hemingway and Grace Hall Hemingway. The second of six children, Ernest enjoyed an adventurous boyhood, fishing and hunting with his father in the northern woods of Michigan. He attended Oak Park High School where he excelled in his classes, particularly English. He tried his hand at football and swimming, edited the school paper (the Trapeze), and contributed pieces to the school's literary magazine (the Tabula). After graduating high school, Ernest traveled to Kansas City and worked as a cub reporter for The Kansas City Star. In 1918, he began service as an ambulance driver for the Italian army. On July 8, he was wounded at Fossalta on the Italian Piave while delivering chocolates, cigarettes, and postcards to soldiers. He married Elizabeth Hadley Richardson on September 3, 1921. The newlyweds soon entered the literary community of Paris, living off of Hadley's trust fund and Ernest's pay as a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star. The 1920's were extremely productive writing years for Hemingway. Three Stories and Ten Poems was published in 1923, In Our Time in 1925. In 1926, The Torrents of Spring and the widely successful novel, The Sun Also Rises were published. -

Box 318 Paradise, MI 49768 810-247-4583 [email protected] Section II - Introduction Narrative Description – a brief overview of the nomination This nomination area resides within the Michigan waters of Lake Superior described by noted Great Lakes shipwreck author, Frederick Stonehouse, in his book “Lake Superior’s Shipwreck Coast”. Stonehouse writes therein “If there is truly a graveyard of Lake Superior, it is the general area of Whitefish Point. More vessels have been lost there than any other part of the lake.” Stonehouse lists over 100 vessels lost between Grand Marais MI, west of Whitefish Point and Pt. Iroquois MI, southeast of Whitefish Point. Less than half of these shipwrecks have been found and documented to date. Several shipwrecks of historical significance have been found in amazingly well-preserved condition including the Comet, Cowle, Vienna, Osborn, and Mather as documented in GLSHS’ project report “The Art and Science of Mapping Lake Superior’s Shipwrecks: Ghosts of the Shipwreck Coast” 1. -

Then, I have to thank my supervisor, professor. Fatiha KAID BERRAHAL in THELIDJI Amar -University-Laghouat For the continuous support of my PhD study and related research, for her patience, motivation, and immense knowledge. Her guidance helped me in all the time of research and writing of this thesis. I could not have imagined having a better advisor and mentor for my PhD study. There are no proper words to convey my deep gratitude and respect for her. She has inspired me to become an independent researcher and helped me realize the power of critical reasoning. In fact the Thesis writing process has been a long journey for me, seven years of research that would not have been possible without her belief in me. I also thank my wife and partner who supported me through this venture and for her stimulating discussions, for the sleepless nights we were working together, especially these last three months, before deadlines, and for all the fun mixed with irritability we have had in the last six years. -
A Farewell to Arms, by Ernest Hemingway
A Farewell to Arms, by Ernest Hemingway In A Nutshell A Farewell to Arms was published in 1929 by Ernest Hemingway, a Nobel Prize-winning American author. This novel is semi-autobiographical. Like the protagonist, Hemingway served in the Italian Army as a Red Cross ambulance driver during World War I, got wounded, and spent time in an American Army in Milan, where he met a nurse. But unlike Hemingway, the novel's protagonist starts a love affair with the nurse. Similar to characters in A Farewell to Arms, Hemingway was deeply influenced by his experiences at war. In fact, Hemingway is considered to be part of the "The Lost Generation." The phrase was coined by Gertrude Stein to refer to Modernist artists who felt "lost" after witnessing the horrors of World War I. Hemingway certainly relied on his own experiences in WWI Italy to write this novel, but he did use other sources as well. Though A Farewell to Arms begins in 1916, Hemingway didn’t get to Italy until the summer of 1918. The Italian retreat from Caporetto, described in such detailed in the novel, began in October 1917. So how did Hemingway describe it so well? The novel is meticulously researched. Hemingway was a journalist and worked for the Kansas City Star newspaper when the retreat was on, read details of it, and was extremely concerned over the war in general. (For a discussion of the importance of newspapers to the novel, see "Symbols, Imagery, and Allegory.") It’s likely that such concern inspired him to enlist with the Red Cross in the first place. -
