Writers writing

Here are some photos of Hemingway and Faulkner writing.

Hemingway in Africa, probably in the 1950s:


Hemingway at the desk, maybe at one of his houses in Florida or in Cuba:



And here is Faulkner, in 1954!

    Wow, Hemingway is just same as his novel's main character in Old man and the Sea! Also same as my imagination before. I have thought he is wonderful author, and now I think he is surprisingly amazing... White elephant show sort of What the best novel is.

    Gosh, I confuse Hemingway and Saint Exupery many times...

    Both of them lived harsh life and have experience of war correspondents.

    Anyway, Maybe because of this, Hemingway wrote many novels about soldiers. A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and the short story that we studied...ah, I don't have book right now so I can't check that out...

    I see the difference of their outfits.
    Well maybe It's not all time looking but
    Hemingway has this too casual/comfortable style
    but Faulkner is wearing shirt and tie when
    he is writing..I guess that's just my theory
    and I found they wrote the stories in different
    way. I see Faulkner using typewriter but Hemingway is making stories with his handwriting. I wonder does it make any difference of story's quality? maybe not lol

    Pictures of Hemingway represent he is very informal person.
    Because of that, he writes many short,simple story like Hills like white elephants.
    So, I enjoyed Hemingway's story.
    But, Faulkner looks very strict.
    I think, that's why A rose for emily was difficult to me.....

    Hemingway got his look! It surely makes me interested that his appearance reminds me of the Old man in his novel(just as Jinyoung said:D)
    It seems like he liked to take a notes or any ideas about story outdoors surrounded with nature, While Faulkner liked to write his works in his own quiet place!
