 As an American realism writer and the 1954 Nobel Prize Laureate for Literature, Hemingway participated in the First World War to work as a volunteer, as well as the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War as a correspondent。 At his older age, he became physically ill and mentally depressed。 He ended his own life by himself in 1961。 His main works includes In Our Times, The Torrents of Spring, The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Old Man and the Seas。

Hemingway has excellent ability to master writing language。 He often expresses the most complex content with the simplest terms and specific meaning with basic vocabulary and short phrases, revealing true facts of matters with on artificial words。 As for the sentence structure, Hemingway usually uses brief statement sentences to express thoughts。 He believes that there is no need to use text modification to appeal to readers but to clearly describe matters and give the decision right to readers。

Ernest Hemingway unites austere realism and poetic language to express a powerful argument against the war and to tell a touching love story at the same time。 Possessed of remarkable time sense of the period between wars, his disillusioned temperature and technical writing skill have influenced the whole generation of successor writers。 In spite of its unyielding realism of detail and its tragic ending, A Farewell to Arms is nevertheless an idealistic and classical book。来自~优尔、论文|网www.youerw.com +QQ752018766-

A Farewell to Arms is a representative work of Ernest Hemingway。 Henry, the protagonist of this novel is a reflection of the author to a certain extent。 He joins the army with good wills at the beginning but finally he finds himself cheated by the capitalist class。 When he gets a clear understanding of the true essences of the war, he begins to fight against it。 But he cannot absolutely resist the war and the society。 He loses the aim of life and is at a loss。 He is a representative figure of “the lost generation”。
