Abstract
In this paper, this character analysis focuses on the unethical and cruel behavior by the doctor/father figure in "Indian Camp" by Earnest Hemingway. The inherent lessons that the doctor imparts on his son reflect his racism and lack of human compassion for his patients. This is the unethical foundation for the doctor's behavior, as he views the human body as a mere engine that he has the power to heal. Without humanism and a quest for deeper compassion, the doctor behaves cruelly toward the woman, which results in the suicide of her husband.
From the Paper
"This literary analysis will seek to understand the inherent sense of cruelty and racism that resides within the behaviors of the father/doctor character in Hemingway's "Indian Camp." By observing how the doctor's actions and behaviors reveal the coldness of medical practitioner in Hemingway's narrative, one can understand why ethics is a major issue in this story. By observing the father/doctor character in Earnest Hemingway's "Indian Camp" one can realize the racism and unethical medical behavior that arises in this tale. In Earnest Hemingway's short story: "Indian Camp" an unethical doctor must evaluate and then surgically remove a child due to problem at birth for a native Indian woman."

Analysis of Nick in Ernest Hemingway's "Indian Camp", 2000.

From the Paper
"Power is unique in that it can individualize people into a group that has power or that does not. People either dominate others or are subjugated to that dominance. Power opposes resistance but can be overthrown by it. The ideas of power and resistance are seen in the character Nick in the work ?Indian Camp? by Ernest Hemingway. They are clearly displayed throughout the story where the doctor forces Nick, his son, to see what a typical day was like at the Indian camp. Michel Foucault talks about these topics in his work ?Method.? He explains many areas of gender and sexuality, interpretations of power struggles, and discourses of resistance. These topics and themes correlate to ?Indian Camp? in many profound ways through all of the characters. Nick is the individual who shows the most intriguing personality change. He exhibits more power and more resistance as the story develops, and he concludes at the end of the story that ?he felt sure that he would never die? (Hemingway 275). "

Abstract
This paper will discuss the relationship that exists between Catherine and Frederic in "A Farewell To Arms by Earnest Hemingway".

'A Farewell to Arms' by Earnest Hemingway, 2006.
A review of Earnest Hemingway's 'A Farewell to Arms'.

Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes the book 'A Farewell to Arms' to Earnest Hemingway. The paper studies the role of the leading character, Frederic Henry and how he handles war and violence.
From the Paper
"Earnest Hemingway's purpose in 'A Farewell to Arms' suggests the undeniable cruelty and destruction that war brings forth in western culture. The aggressive and often masculine nature of Hemingway's lead character, Frederic Henry, conveys this aspect of war with a relentless series of violent events. By creating a book that would depict the reality of war, Hemingway sought to bring out the darkest possible scenario of what soldiers had gone through during the Italian campaign of World War I. This goal is achieved by recognizing the horrible reality of murder and mayhem, which strays from the ideological glory of war and the supposed rewards one gets from participating in war. In my opinion, Hemingway captures the stoicism and masculine hardness of reality, as Henry is not deterred from the ideological ramblings of the priest, Ettore Moretti and Gino."

Earnest Hemingway and John Cheever, 2001.
The following essay compares and contrasts the styles of two short story writers, Earnest Hemingway and John Cheever.

»

Abstract
This paper argues that one can draw an almost direct literary line between Cheever and Hemingway in terms of the attitudes they possessed towards their characters and the sparse quality of their prose.
From the Paper
?Hemingway is often cited as the author who is the ultimate chronicler of the masculine ethos in the outdoor world. Pete Hamill wrote in his memoir A Drinking Life:No other word could describe him [Hemingway]: his writing, his life, his courage, his drinking, were all part of the heroic image. (Hamill 230) Hemingway heroes suffer the threat of death, the complete loss of life and love in a cold and alienated world. In contrast, John Cheever chronicles the mundane world of suburbia. His heroes are often comical and ineffectual. His character's messy emotions, rather than external circumstances, are the focus of his short stories. Not much seems to happen in Cheever's outer world.?

"Flight" by John Steinbeck and "The Old Man and The Sea" by Earnest Hemingway, 2000.
An examination of the short stories and the novels' protagonists as they evolve in wisdom through solitude in nature.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"This study will examine John Steinbeck's story "Flight" and Ernest Hemingway's novel The Old Man and the Sea in terms of the applicability of the Luther Standing Bear quotation, "Only solitude brings wisdom." Both stories focus on the role of nature in the characters' acquisition of wisdom. For the purposes of clarity, "solitude" will refer to an individual human being's isolation from other human beings in a natural environment, and "wisdom" will refer to an individual's evolution into a state of greater awareness of what life and death are for a human being by himself in harrowing circumstances.
Santiago, the old man in Hemingway's story is on the sea by himself by choice. He is a fisherman and his story tells of his moving more deeply into wisdom as he struggles in life and death with a great fish far at sea in solitude, and then with the..."

Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World., 2008.
A Critique of Jack Weatherford's "Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World."
1,495 words (approx. 6.0 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 72.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses that the term 'Indian giver' has come to be a synonym for someone who gives something, only to take it back. The paper further explains that it was the Indians who were forced to give to the Europeans--their knowledge about farming and fishing in the Americas and ultimately their land. The paper discusses that in Jack Weatherford's book, "Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World," the exchange between Europeans and Native Americans was an unequal one, with Europeans taking of the positive benefits of the New World, while the Indians were doing all of the giving. The paper concludes that unwittingly, the Indians found themselves the recipient of the evils of European civilization, like slavery, and a disrespectful attitude to the land.
From the Paper
"According to Weatherford, the early post-Columbian contact of the Europeans with the native populace actually enabled the Industrial Revolution to change Europe, and ultimately the world. "Had Europe and America not come together through Columbus or some other connection, the industrial revolution would never have happened in the way we know it," because Europeans would never have gained access to the metals of the New World, or to Indian mines (Weatherford 57). This contact also generated the money economy of Europe and fueled a shift to a European economy based upon real, hard, convertible currency. Metal-based currency also was critical in fueling industrialism and world trade. By beginning the book with tales of South American encounters with Europe, which were particularly brutal and unequal from the beginning of the Indian-European relationship, Weatherford initiates a tragic tone, explaining how enslaved South American Indians mining gold and silver in Potosi supplied the precious metals for most of the European coins that generated wealth for the Old World at the expense of the liberty of the New World."

Denial in Literature, 2002.
Examines the function of denial in Hesse's "Siddhartha" and Hemingway's "Indian Camp".
2,900 words (approx. 11.6 pages), 3 sources, AU$ 155.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Hesse and Hemingway both write with influences from existential philosophy; however, each writer also fails to address the embedded paradox of isolation and meaningfulness is his writing. What emerges in this analysis is the way denial functions in the authors' texts. This denial works at a deep level, where each author writes in ways that presume a logic of transparency to writing. In other words, the assumption that the author is absent from the writing functions as a denial of writing at all. As such, both texts are drained of effect, revealing too much of the author's own rationalizations and too little of the ethical issues being addressed.

Ernest Hemingway, 2006.
Questions whether Earnest Hemingway should be considered a legend or not.

Abstract
Is Earnest Hemingway a legend? The resounding answer is of course yes, most definitely. Does he deserve to be? For the loyalist of the author, this answer, too, is obvious; however there are indeed many debates on the subject. This paper shows for one to fully understand this 1954 Nobel Laureate, one needs to consider his whole body of works before arriving at one's decision. The paper presents a chronological overview of Hemingway's works and what influenced his writing.
From the Paper
"Critics, too, respect Hemingway as a literary giant, not so much for his work, but for his contribution to literature. Hemingway developed a school and theory of writing that has transcended his lifetime and effected every modern writer. His critics, too, do not deny his influence, but argue that his actual writings do not deserve the praise awarded. Their claims range from the inconsistency of Hemingway and an overriding, destructive machismo to redundancy and repressed homosexual underpinnings."

Androgyny in Hemingway's Fiction, 2007.
An analysis of issues of gender-bending and androgyny in several of Earnest Hemingway's works.
3,118 words (approx. 12.5 pages), 7 sources, MLA, AU$ 131.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Hemingway can be considered a "man's writer who writes for men in an attempt to define men- real men, ideal men and manly men. It attempts to define Hemingway's man through an examination of some of his characters: Jake Barnes in "The Sun Also Rises Francis Macomber", Wilson in "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" and finally Robert Jordan in "For Whom the Bell Tolls". It concludes that by considering these characters, Hemingway's perception of gender seems to be strictly binary.
From the Paper
"Perhaps Hemingway sets out not to establish a code for that which he considers manly, but rather identify what society has already designated as manly. Subsequently, perhaps Hemingway has a certain amount of empathy for those of his protagonists who are ultimately foiled by these impossible standards. So what is a man supposed to be? Michael Leland describes "the story [as] familiar by now: the Hemingway hero loses some version of his maleness to the first World War, and he replaces it with a tool -- in Upper Michigan, a fishing rod or pocketknife; in Africa, a hunting rifle" - which is of course, a gross oversimplification but nevertheless a humorous take on what characteristics shape his protagonists.

Steinbeck and Hemingway, 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses how John Steinbeck and Ernest Hemingway are two writers known for their distinct writing styles. It examines how the major aspect of Hemingway and Steinbeck that appeal to both readers and writers is their way of getting straight to the point and how neither writer relies on colorful language or excessive description like the earlier 19th century style or on action-packed plots. It looks at how, instead, the subjects and the story lines of their works are quite simple and how both writers managed to transform a simple story from something uninteresting to something lasting and meaningful. Using examples from their books, it considers their writing styles, characterizations and settings and analyzes the similarities and differences as well as the way each writer links their writing style to the message they are trying to convey.
From the Paper
"Steinbeck and Hemingway also achieve different results by the different characters used. They both give their stories impact by creating character-driven stories rather than plot-driven stories. Yet, the purposes and qualities of the characters are very different. Steinbeck creates characters who are complicated, interesting and intriguing. Steinbeck often adds minor details to these characters. While these may seem insignificant, they add color to the characters and allow the reader to identify with them. Just as Steinbeck's writing style has a subtle humor, the characters are also slightly humorous. This helps the reader identify with them and like them and this reader identification drives the story. Steinbeck's characters are also often the types of people who would generally be considered as of low status. For example, in Tortilla Flat, Steinbeck includes references to poor farm workers."

Abstract
Two short tales are examined, "This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentleman" by Tadeusz Borowski, and "Indian Camp" by Ernest Hemingway and the paper offers a social comment on racism. The characters presented must undergo crucial events that define the social problems being implemented between racial divides. The paper looks at how the outcome of death and guilt are the common result of the shame that is constructed through racial domination that devalues life to the lowest common denominator.
From the Paper
"The theme of racism is important within the events that impart a comment on society within the short novel: This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentleman by Tadeusz Borowski and the short story: "Indian Camp" by Earnest Hemingway. By analyzing how racism affects the main characters in these stories, one can understand how tragedy, guilt, and death often ensue due to the pain of racial alienation in these short stories. In Borowski's This Way to the Gas, Ladies and Gentleman the numerous events of guilt due to surviving the gas chamber at an Nazi death camp impart a stern racism to Jewish people."

"The Sun Also Rises", 2002.
A look at the autobiographical side of "The Sun Also Rises" by Earnest Hemingway.

Abstract
This paper examines how "The Sun Also Rises" by Earnest Hemingway is a mental-emotional road map through Hemingway?s own consciousness, deconstructed only where his own mind is puzzled, mythological only where his own mythologies lie, and above all, guided by his own psychological and biographical auto-eroticism. It looks at how many of the characters represent various facets of Hemingway?s own self and experience and how their inability to form lasting unions may, in fact, reflect his own inner turmoils, a point which is especially fascinating in relation to the events of Chapter 3 and Brett?s gender-transformations.
From the Paper
"If Jake is Hemingway?s impotent ultra-male self (he is one of the least effeminate characters in the book, despite his wounds), and Brett is Hemingway?s sexually aggressive female self, then the book may take on a whole new and unexpected tension. Jake?s willingness to consistently come to Brett?s rescue, and his abidingly unjealous love for her makes far more sense when they are seen as elements of the same being. Likewise the pain she gives him by refusing to live with him takes on a far deeper significance, as does the insistence on both sides that maybe they should separate. This putting-away of the inner shadow self is a frequent feature in the dysfunctional mind, of course."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Earnest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea? about the troubles and the travails that the old man is willing to face to restore his lost pride. It shows how with only a very few characters and no real plot Hemingway has managed to evolve a novel rich in themes and symbolic import. It discusses how pride and self respect are the motivating factors and the driving force that propels the old man to fight it out in the face of adversity and that the essential theme of this novel is that man is not honored by victory alone rather honor comes from the resoluteness of purpose and perseverance.
From the Paper
"The Marlin (the big catch) in the sea represents the cherished goal (wealth, fame or any other thing) that people go after. Just like Santiago the Marlin also symbolizes valor. It does not meekly succumb but puts up a great fight against the old man. Even the old man acknowledges the bravery of the Marlin when he states it as a brave opponent. The Marlin symbolizes or represents the cherished accomplishment or the achievement of man. If we take a slightly different viewpoint we can also ascribe a different symbolic meaning. It is generally perceived in the literary circles that Hemingway was constantly bogged by literary critics and even under these adverse circumstances he managed to hold on to his gifted art. (Of writing). Now if we look under this pretext we can easily infer that the Marlin represents the ?ART? and the sharks that try to eat away the Marlin represent the critics who were cynical to Hemingway?s literary creations. The triumph of the old man implies the triumph of Hemingway in the world of literature. "
