Comparing Meyers And Tyler On Hemingway's Indian Camp
A Comparison between Meyers and Tyler on "Hemingway 's Indian camp"

Advanced Academic Writing

The wide attention of critics to Hemingway 's "Indian Camp" can be attributed in part to the existence of a few controversial questions. In this paper I am going to compare two secondary sources: "Hemingway 's Primitivism and Indian Camp" by Jeffrey Meyers, and "Dangerous Families and Intimate Harm in Hemingway 's Indian Camp" by Lisa Tyler. Both Meyers and Tyler explore the theme of masculinity and Hemingway 's biography.

The story introduces the theme of masculinity in the context of giving birth in an Indian camp. Although childbirth typically concern

    School Days Of An Indian Girl And The Notorious Jumping Frog Of Calaveras Bay

    I believe that the varied, occasionally contradictory writing of American literature in the nineteenth century was a positive change. The broad range of viewpoints and perspectives that American Literature possessed at time gave its readers new ways of viewing and understanding different and or conflicting perspectives. The story’s “The School days of an Indian Girl” and “The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras Bay” show the contrasting nature of American Literature at the time, as both are from wildly different perspectives and subjects. Firstly, the story “The School Days of an Indian Girl”, an autobiography essay written by Zitkala-Sa, takes on a tragic tone as the writer recounts her brutal treatment at a boarding school that illustrates…

    Sethe's Breastmilk

    The protagonist in the novel, Sethe, is deprived of her femininity by being denied motherhood. Infants born into slavery are typically removed from their mothers to disallow any chance to form emotional attachment, making it easier to debase women as human beings by denying them the natural desire to mother their children. The idea of motherhood and a mother’s identity was not just seen in the physical separation between a mother and her child. In an attempt to save her children, Sethe sacrifices herself. In a very abusive and animalistic fashion, Sethe loses the essence of motherhood, her breastmilk. Throughout the novel, Sethe focuses on her breast milk, the life-force she is naturally supplied…

    Ernest Hemingway Influence On Society

    It is his works, such as Hills like White Elephants, which subtly address modern issues that bring forth the question of morality and purpose to a general population (A Farewell to Arms, 3). It is his short, direct style, exemplified by his six word story “Baby shoes for sale, never worn.”, allows for a clear and deep expression of emotion (A Farewell to Arms, 4). His involvement of incorporating the reader through active reading breaks an emotional barrier set forth by usual text. This action allows for the reader to directly examine Hemingway’s characters, and thus reflect on their own behavior. Hemingway’s mastery of language, subsequent to his fluency in the Romantic languages, allows his works to be overall reflective of human behavior and relate to the reader in an emotional context (A Farewell To Arms,…

    Hills Like White Elephant Essay Thesis

    Through our research, we were able to find a common theme of sexism and how that affects identity and communication, and how that is portrayed in the story. In addition, we were able to come up with a claim, and make our three subclaims. To contribute to our ideas, I went back to the story and completely dissected it, and was able to see how Hemingway uses the conflict of sexism and find evidence on how that issue affects communication, which is shown between the “American” and Jig, as well as how it effects both of their identity.…

It is about a group of British and American ex-patriots that travel from Paris to the Festival of San Fermin in Pamplona, to see the Running of the Bulls and the Bullfights.

In this essay the reader will get a better understanding of how two adult men have a coming of age experience on the trip.…

    Ernest Hemingway's Works In Albanian Literature Analysis

    The theme of this paper is not only topical but inspirational and challenging. It is topical given that this is the first paper written in English on Ernest Hemingway’s works in Albanian, which have been translated since 1950s, continued to be translated throughout 1970s, but have been translated much more during the last decade of the past millennium. Furthermore, the theme is inspiring and challenging as despite the presence of a considerable number of Hemingway’s works in Albanian literature, the journalistic and literary critique has either responded with moderately or has even sometimes overlooked his works. Therefore, conscious that Hemingway’s works not only deserve but they require a more profound attention and consideration, we decided…
