Well before reading the short stories that we did for class I didn’t like Hemingway’s work at all. After reading these three short stories I still do not like Hemingway. The first story, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, was too long and drawn out for my liking. It was very boring and had little relevance to anything in my own life so it made it much more difficult to read. The flashbacks also did no make this task any easier. It was confusing to go from what was present day to his past sporadically. It took me a while to figure out what was going on in the second story. I had an idea but couldn’t quite get the big picture when it came to subject of the two peoples’ conversation. I do have to admit that I found myself more into this story than any other Hemingway piece I have read. The third story was the most confusing to me. I had no clue what was going on. It seemed to be a bunch of babbling put together to make no sense at all to a normal person. I still have no idea what was really going on in the diner at all.
