Ernest Hemingway was a twentieth century writer known for his tough works. He wrote about his experiences as a former journalist and World War I ambulance driver, as highlighted in A Farewell to Arms.
This book is about an American ambulance driver in World War I. He meets an English nurse, and they quickly fall in love. The story follows him through his adventures on the war front, a horrific injury in a bomb explosion, and the unexpected pregnancy of his love.
The context of this book was during the twentieth century, post- World War I era.
The audience is anyone interested in books about war or romance.
The purpose of this book is to tell an entertaining tale of love and war.
Rhetorical devices include:
- Sentence Structure: Hemingway uses a contrast of long run-on sentences with overuse of "and" and short, blunt sentences.
- Imagery: There are a lot of details, describing everything about the war. The setting is especially descriptive.
I think the author accomplished his purpose. This book is so far pretty good. I am not a huge fan of war stories, so it is less entertaining to me than it might be to someone who is a fan of that type of writing, but it is absolutely a well-written story and a very good love story.
