Hemmingway is always enjoyable to study. My favorite Hemingway story is "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and I also like the Nick Adams stories. I also find similarities between Salinger and Hemingway. I read A Farewell To Arms last year and I liked it, but I thought that Catherine(I think that's her name) was some what a weak character although I felt that her death scene did give justice to her character. It's sounds like you have a great English class. -Liz Friedman --- cinnimon@vvm.com wrote: > In my English class we have been reading a great > deal of Hemmingway lately.
