Does Original Voice Exist? :: Ernest Hemingway Literature Essays

Does Original Voice Exist?From Ernest Hemingways _The Sun Also Rises_ Mike was a bad drunk. Brett was a favourable drunk. Bill was a good drunk. Cohn was never drunk. Mike was unpleasant after he past a certain point. I liked to see him ache Cohn. I wished he would not do it, though, because afterward it made me tonicity disgusted at myself. That was morality things that made you disgusted afterward. No, that must be immorality. That was a large statement. Does this sound like a man mumbling? Or is this a complete thought? Hemingways voice is simple. His voice also exclusivelyows interpretation from the reader. Does that smashed it is also open and vague? Maybe, but you get to make the decisions. Hemingway allows it.The character sounds simple. He thinks on simple terms. He also calls the series of simple comments a large statement. If the reader delves into the literature, it is a large statement. If the reader takes it for face value, its a simple statement. The character spe aking makes a revelation to himself. That is why I think it is a large statement. He finds something out about himself. He is honest with himself. Dialogue and exact spelling of pronunciations can show ya what the writers all about. Its not clear all the time, but itll be more personal than a bunch of scientific hogwash. Not that that writing doesnt serve a purpose.... at least if your gonna be personal, your readers better be able ta understand your tongue, otherwise the communication stops unraveling forem and they hafta look at your words more than your ideas. Does this flow for ya? Well, I warnt long making him understand I warnt dead. I was ever so glad to see Jim. I warnt so lonesome now. I told him I warnt afraid of him telling the people where I was. I talked along, but he only set there and looked at me never said nothing. Then I says Its good daylight. Les get breakfast. Make up your campfire good. Whats de use er makin up de camp fire to cook strawbries en such truck? B ut you got a gun, haint you? Den we kin get sumfin better den strawbries. (Mark Twain from _Adventures of Huckleberry Finn_) It may or may not flow, but ya get a good feel for the characters. You can make assumptions and fit them inta stereotypes so theyre recognizable.
