Answer 1

Ernest Hemingway

Hemingway was an American writer - novels and news articles mostly.

Born in 1899, in 1971 his first career was working at the Kansas Star, a news paper company.

Ernest Hemingway left his job with the Kansas Star to join World War One, where he served as a Red Cross ambulance driver. He was injured during a delivery run which was the last rout of his carrer.

His writings that followed were frequently about death and psychological trama associated with war.

He is sometimes remembered for his association with the Spanish civil war of the 1930's when he was a reporter. This bloody conflict between communism and fascism was a prelude to WWII......WWII being almost entirely about a similar conflict between fascist Germany and communist Russia with their respective allies.

Hemingway novels have been made into several movies with generally decent interpretations offered.

He was a larger than life figure with many legends being attached to him. For example, he was supposedly a notorious and brutal drunk. The margarita was supposedly created for him. His sexual exploits were vast and ruthless, with many broken hearts. He was possibly homosexual at times. He spent time in Cuba and knew Castro. He suffered a vast array of illnesses and injuries in his life and was inaccurately written up in the papers as deceased on at least two occassions. His actual death was in 1961 as a result of a loosing battle with lifelong depression. He reportedly took a shotgun blast to the head.

Answer 3

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was a journalist and author who won a Pulitzer Prize and a Nobel Prize in Literature. His short stories and novels earned critical acclaim as well as popularity. Some are now considered as classics of American literature.

He was thought to have died in a bizarre double plane accident in Uganda in 1954, but survived to accept his Nobel prize, although he could not attend the ceremony. The following year, his injuries and the effects of alcohol abuse left him bedridden. He lived for several years in Cuba, leaving shortly after the coup by Fidel Castro (with whom he was nonetheless on friendly terms). He died at his ranch in Idaho in 1961 after having been previously hospitalized for depression.

Answer 4

Ernest Hemingway was a very well known American author and journalist.

He was born Illinois, United States, on the 21st July 1899.
After school, he began to work for a newspaper called The Kansas City Star, before leaving to enlist as a frontline ambulance driver for Italy in the First World War. He sustained an injury in the line of duty and returned home. His wartime experience formed the basis of one of his well known novels, 'A Farewell to Arms'.

He went on to write many more novels, including:

• The Old Man and the Sea
• For Whom the Bell Tolls
• The Sun Also Rises

In 1953, he won a Pulitzer prize and in 1954 the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Ernest died on the 2nd July 1961 in mysterious and debated circumstances. His official cause of death is listed as suicide by shotgun wound. Some people believe he was pushed into depression and suicide by constant FBI surveillance (as he was friends with Fidel Castro). Medical professionals also claim that Ernest had an undiagnosed genetic condition called hemochromatosis, which would have caused him pain and depression, ultimately leading to his suicide.
