Hemingway.

                   Even the name brings up some interesting thoughts. I didn't know much about him before to be honest, except for some mentions on TV or online. When I first read his short stories however, I thought he would be one of those famous story writers, and I wonder why I haven’t heard of him before. Then again, my memory could just be failing. What I didn’t think about, though, was how influenced his stories was by his real life.
                   Hemingway’s life was, as you would put it, like a somewhat steep hill with a lot of bumps in the road, cutting right through it. He did accomplish many things in life, from writing award-winning stories and his international excursions. However, with those accomplishments he also had some major blows to his life as well. The illnesses he suffered affected him slowly overtime, including serious depression, which also had an impact on his His regular consumption of alcohol did not help his case either, causing some more behavioral problems as well. His character overall wasn’t the best, being somewhat arrogant and conceited. Not to mention having a lot of affairs that made him seem lowly to many others. It starts off having basically said he totally loves them, yet sometimes getting into an argument later on, sometimes violent, and sees another partner yet again. For someone who admits his total love and admiration to someone, he seems to change his view quite quickly.
                   He does however, hold a legacy for his writing style and is one of the most influential writers ever. He was a reputable person, despite what disadvantages he had suffered. His stories have so much in them, so many feelings and thoughts buried under the surface of just those words written on paper. He has a huge part of him in those stories, from his early years to the last, which had been influenced by the many events, including the joyful ones as much as the hardships he endured. Having that in mind, it makes his stories more exciting and interesting to read.
