Ernest Hemingway:
An Extremely Well-Thought Out and Carefully Planned Report for the Brilliant Class of Journalism by Alison Lasagna

Mr. Hemingway is so cool. First of all, his hairstyle was really hip. I think more people should do their hair like Ernest Hemingway.

As you can see from this picture, Ernest Hemingway lived a really long time ago. From the photograph, you can tell that color wasn’t invented yet. Plus houses were really small. This is where Ernest Hemingway probably lived and there wasn’t even enough room for his whole top half. Clearly, living conditions weren’t so great to begin with, but that was probably before he got famous and all.
    Mr. Hemingway was a modernist too. Wikipedia says he “fell under the influence of the modernist writers and artists of the 1920s "Lost Generation" expatriate community. The Sun Also Rises, Hemingway's first novel, was published in 1926.” That isn’t all they have to say about Ernest Hemingway though. It was a pretty long article, I mean. I don’t think it was accurate, however, because the 1920s is not modern. That’s like, ninety years ago, suckers.
    Ernest Hemingway was a pretty cool kid. He didn’t have any hair in early life, which probably alienated him and made him want to express himself through writing. See picture below.

    He had really small feet, which is evidence enough for me to consider him a fairy. That is a cool fact about the life of Ernest Hemingway.
    When Ernie was a kid he took journalism classes from Fannie Biggs. By the way, that’s a really unfortunate name, and yours is much cooler, Mrs. [name]. He put some of his stuff in their newspaper too. Him and this girl Marcelline. Not the one from Adventure Time. I think that one had only one L like me, right?
    So anyway. Ernest Hemingway died in 1961. That was when he was 61. No kidding. That’s sort of out of order, but it kind of confused me, because the website had that bit towards the beginning too and I don’t think he died at the beginning so I’m really just messed up right now on what goes where.
    Ernest Hemingway was once a “tall, handsome, muscular, broad-shouldered, brown-eyed, rosy-cheeked, square-jawed, soft-voiced young man.” I don’t know who said that. Wikipedia didn’t say. Seems like sort of a weird thing for a passerby to describe someone as, so I assume someone who knew him said that. I’m not reading this whole article, but I think it said something about him being in Paris, where color was most likely invented because of the brown-eye thing.
    One thing you should know about Ernest Hemingway is that he can’t really spell very well. He used a lot of big words, probably, but I’ll bet he couldn’t even spell them. Probably his editors or spell check or whatever helped him out there. I mean, he didn’t even know how to spell “hemming.” Seriously, it isn’t that hard. And “hemmingway” is not even a compound word. It’s called spacebar, sir. Also, clearly, there is an “a” in “earnest,” so people can’t really take him in earnest. It just kind of creates this feeling of disreputability, you know? He might have been eccentric. I think he was rich. Famous people usually are. Eccentric, I mean, but rich too.
    Ernest Hemingway wrote a lot of books. Some of them were posthumous. That means they were published after his death. That is where the term “ghost writer” derives from. Ghost writers write books after they die and then they get published and they’re posthumous, which you shouldn’t confuse with possum as that’s a very different word. Some of the titles, including the posthumous ones, don’t make much sense. Like “A Farewell to Arms.” You kind of need arms to write books, unless you’re really good at typing with your feet. And “For Whom the Bell Tolls.” I think sound waves should probably hit the eardrums of anyone within range, shouldn’t they? Maybe that’s just me. I don’t know.
    Here’s a quote about Ernest Hemingway that may help you better understand his life. It’s kind of long:

“Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American author and journalist. His economical and understated style had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non-fiction works. Three novels, four collections of short stories, and three non-fiction works were published posthumously. Many of these are considered classics of American literature.
Hemingway was raised in Oak Park, Illinois. After high school he reported for a few months for The Kansas City Star, before leaving for the Italian front to enlist with the World War I ambulance drivers. In 1918, he was seriously wounded and returned home. His wartime experiences formed the basis for his novel A Farewell to Arms. In 1922, he married Hadley Richardson, the first of his four wives. The couple moved to Paris, where he worked as a foreign correspondent, and fell under the influence of the modernist writers and artists of the 1920s "Lost Generation" expatriate community. The Sun Also Rises, Hemingway's first novel, was published in 1926.
After his 1927 divorce from Hadley Richardson, Hemingway married Pauline Pfeiffer. They divorced after he returned from the Spanish Civil War where he had been a journalist, and after which he wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls. Martha Gellhorn became his third wife in 1940. They separated when he met Mary Welsh in London during World War II. He was present at the Normandy Landings and the liberation of Paris.
Shortly after the publication of The Old Man and the Sea in 1952, Hemingway went on safari to Africa, where he was almost killed in two successive plane crashes that left him in pain or ill health for much of the rest of his life. Hemingway had permanent residences in Key West, Florida, and Cuba during the 1930s and 1940s, but in 1959 he moved from Cuba to Ketchum, Idaho, where he committed suicide in the summer of 1961.”

    I think that was a very good quote about Ernest Hemingway because it showed a lot about his life and summed up some things about him.
    In conclusion, Ernest Hemingway had cool hair and his writings are good too even if they aren’t that modern really.
