Ernest Hemingway is my favorite writer. Hemingway was born in 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois. His father was a doctor. In high school Hemingway played football and wrote for the school newspaper. In 1917, when the United States enterd the First World War, Hemingway left home and schooling to become a young reporter. He wanted to enlist for the war but was rejected because of an eye injury from football. Finally he managed to go to Europe as an ambulance driver for the Red Cross. He joined the Italian army and was seriously wounded.

His war experience provided the background for his many short stories and novels. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954. I love Hemingway because of his style. His heroes show
courage in the face of danger. My favourite work by Hemingway is “Farewell to Arms”. I never get tired of reading Hemingway.
