But not long after, World War II broke out, and Hemingway could no longer live a quiet life. From 1937 to 1938, he went to the front of the Spanish civil war as a war correspondent. During World War II, he joined the army as a reporter and took part in the battle to liberate Paris. 194 1 After the Pacific War broke out at the end of the year, Hemingway immediately converted his yacht into a patrol boat to spy on the actions of German submarines and provide information for destroying the enemy. 1944, Hemingway accompanied the US military to Europe for an interview.

1952, Hemingway published a novella "The Old Man and the Sea": Santiago, an old fisherman, didn't catch a fish at sea for 84 consecutive days. At first, a boy named Manorine went to sea with him, but after 40 days without catching any fish, the child was arranged by his parents to another boat because they thought it would be unlucky for the child to follow the old man. On the 85th day, the old man rowed the boat away early in the morning. Unexpectedly, he caught a marlin bigger than a boat. The old man struggled with the fish for two days and finally got it. However, the injured fish left a foul smell on the sea surface, which attracted countless sharks to compete for it. The old man struggled with the shark, but when he returned to the port, the marlin had only a huge skeleton left, and the old man fell to the ground exhausted. The child came to see the old man. He doesn't think Santiago has been defeated. That afternoon, San Diego fell asleep in his cabin. He saw a lion in his dream. "A person is not born to be defeated. A man can be defeated, but not defeated. Man is not born for defense. A man can be destroyed but not defended) "This is Santiago's life belief and the idea that the author wants to express in The Old Man and the Sea. Through the image of Santiago, the author enthusiastically praised the indestructible spiritual strength of human beings in the face of difficulties and hardships. The child is ready to go out to sea with the old man again. He must learn all the "skills" of the old man, which symbolizes that the "invincible" spirit of mankind will be passed down from generation to generation. Santiago is the symbol of the perfect man that Hemingway admired: strong, generous, kind and full of love. Even if he fails in the arena of life, he is still a spiritual strong man and a "tough guy" in the face of irreversible fate. "Tough guy" is a common theme in Hemingway's works and a common figure in his works. They are still strong and unyielding in the face of great external pressure and bad luck, and even die. Although they failed, they maintained human dignity and courage and had the demeanor of winners. Hemingway worked hard all his life. The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is to write. When he writes, there is another habit that ordinary people don't have, that is, standing to write. He said, "I write standing. I stand on one foot." I take this posture, which makes me nervous and forces me to express my thoughts as briefly as possible. " Hemingway 1954 won the Nobel Prize in Literature. The reason for winning the prize is: "Because he is proficient in narrative art, which is prominently reflected in his new work The Old Man and the Sea, and because of his influence on contemporary style." Hemingway is worthy of this praise. After winning the prize, Hemingway suffered from various diseases and great physical and mental pain, and failed to create any more influential works, which made him depressed and formed a negative and pessimistic mood, and finally committed suicide like his grandfather and father. This is also a pursuit of Hemingway's "tenacious spirit". 196 1 On July 2, 2008, Hemingway, a world-renowned literary world, ended his life with his shotgun. The whole world was shocked by this, and people lamented the tragedy of this giant. The American people mourn the death of this great American writer. ......
Personality assessment
As for Hemingway's evaluation, as President John F. Kennedy's condolence telegram said, "Few Americans have had a greater influence on the feelings and attitudes of the American people than ernest hemingway." He called Hemingway "one of the greatest writers in the 20th century" and was known as a tough guy in literature. As the greatest American novelist in the 20th century, Hemingway not only shot off most of the crown, but also shocked the whole United States and even the whole world. People immediately realized that something vital had suddenly disappeared from this world. Hemingway died, and their own lives were eclipsed. People are suffering, as if Hemingway "ruined our lives, too." Now I'm a dead man, too "(O'Donnel) Juan Belmond, the most outstanding Spanish matador, only said three words slowly but clearly," Well done! " After that, he ended his life in the same way. Hemingway is too great, as great as a towering tree. Now that the tree has fallen, where should people go to enjoy the cool? And those who were crushed by this big tree finally found a chance to teach Hemingway, an old lion: "Who would do such a dirty thing?" How can you leave a pile of dirty things to others to clean? Arnold Gingrich's schadenfreude is beyond words. For the mood of the American public, the great poet Frost made an appropriate description the day after Hemingway committed suicide: he was tenacious and did not spare his life; He is tenacious and does not spare himself. ..... Fortunately for us, he gave himself enough time to show his greatness. His style dominates the way we tell long and short stories. I still remember that I was obsessed with reading black boy aloud to everyone I met. He is a friend I will always miss. The whole country was immersed in grief. (The New York Times) In a country where the death of the president will not be mourned by the whole country, how did Hemingway "immerse the whole country in grief"? With his unique works and his tough guy spirit! Hemingway himself and his characters have influenced a whole generation or even generations of Americans, and people compete to imitate him and the characters in his works. He is the embodiment of American spirit. People are crying for this spirit. 1961On the morning of July 2, Hemingway entered the basement in his pajamas and bathrobe. He took out his gun and a box of bullets, and then walked to the hall. He loaded two bullets into the shotgun, slowly opened his mouth, stuffed the spear in, and gently pulled the trigger ... People don't understand that Hemingway once cursed his father who committed suicide as a coward. Now that he has everything, why should he follow in his father's footsteps? Fame, status, money, friends, women, even Nobel Prize in Literature? Hemingway's suicidal desire inherited from his father burns in his blood, and his life is just a life of fighting against this suicidal impulse. /kloc-in the 1930 s, he mentioned in a short biography that suicide, like sports, is an escape from a tense and hard writing life. The green hills of Africa strongly praise the thrill of shotguns. In Being and Nothing, Hemingway aimed this tool that can bring sensory enjoyment not only at animals, but also at himself. He thinks this gadget can solve all psychological, moral, medical and economic problems once and for all. It is "a beautifully structured tool that can cure insomnia, eliminate regrets, cure cancer and avoid bankruptcy. Just press your fingertips and you can blow a way out of an unbearable situation." "At present, there are two acceptable reasons for suicide. One is that Hemingway can't bear the pain of body and mind, and the other is the exhaustion of creativity. Indeed, Hemingway neglected and even destroyed his health for a long time, which caused him serious physical and mental harm. He suffers from emaciation, dermatosis, alcoholism, vision loss, diabetes, hemochromatosis, hepatitis, nephritis, hypertension, psychosis and so on. He also agreed with Nietzsche's point of view: "Die at the right time. He who dies at the peak of happiness is the most glorious. "Yes, his recent autobiographical work" The Flowing Eucharist "is in trouble, and electrotherapy leads to memory failure. The wise saying he pursued all his life is: man can be destroyed, but he can never be defeated. Perhaps he is worried about being defeated and ruining himself. " When he was no longer Hemingway, he wanted to die. "A month before his death, didn't he say," What does a person care about? Good health. Work hard. Eat and drink with friends and enjoy bed life. But I can't touch anything. "The implication is that he has nothing but the freedom to commit suicide. The legend finally accepted this freedom. The last hero of the 20th century fell under his own gun, and the hunter's last prey was himself. Hemingway, old lion!
