 * Literary Notes:**
 * The Lost Generation were the U.S. writers whose ideals resembled that of the 1920's in the Post World War I era.

Heming constantly used violence in his works however he used it subtly

Hemingway was surrounded by death all of his life (wars, father’s suicide, etc.). Death normally appears in his novels to express a greater theme Examples: A Farewell to Arms (1929) - Death = Human Commitment For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940) - Death = Comradeship
