Hemingway

    Ernest Hemingway was an incredible writer that throughout his life battled with the fears of loneliness and stardom.
    At the early years of Hemingway's life, he had to deal with the trouble hoods of his parents. His mother was an opera singer that kept reminding her family that she was the big star that still could have had a life if it weren't for her. His father on the other had, was cruel and unhappy living with a woman he had nothing in common with him and had the upper hand in the household. This type of relationship between his parents caused the young writer to develop emotions and characteristics that reflected the absence of his parents.
   When Hemingway met his first of four wives, he knew that he was destined to be great. Yet the problem that Hemingway often encountered was the idea of being a man. His strive to being the most manly figure in society caused him to lost the interest of those around him. With the birth of his two sons, he tried to fill in the void of his father, yet he turned away his sons when it came to writing. Hemingway put writing above everything and everyone else, causing him to become a lonely man among his family and friends. As the years passed, Hemingway grew up to the title of a celebrity. With the new works that he published, he became a sensation among the famous, introducing him to the life of the party and drinks. This moment of his life ended with losing himself in the opinions of others. He saw that he finally had an effect in society and he was not going to let that go. People saw him as a man, and Hemingway finally got what he wanted.
   Despite the life that Hemingway dealt with, the emotions of loneliness, manliness, and stardom was reflected through his work. These real emotions of life were easily perceived through his works that later became famous in the literary world.
