- 5962: Review of Ernest Hemingway and Writings
- ... Earlier stories set in Michigan, such as "Indian Camp" and "The Three-Day Blow" show a young Nick to be an impressionable adolescent trying to find his path in a brutally violent and overwhelmingly confusing world.

- 5967: A Farewell To Arms: Experiences And Their Influences
- ... To Arms: Experiences And Their Influences Some experiences cannot be accomplished in our own lives but with the help of literature, readers are able to participate in those experiences and expand their understanding of the world and it’s surroundings. Literature also allows the reader to comprehend the thinking, feelings and rationalizations of different types of people. According to critic, Louise Rosenblatt, literature provides “experiences that would not be either possible or wise to introduce into our own lives” and thus enlarging our “knowledge of the world” and “ability to understand and sympathize with others.” I agree with the statement as I have interpreted it and it is supported by the novel A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway.

- 5970: History Of Boot Camp Correctio
- History of Boot Camp Corrections In the military boot camp represents an abrupt, often shocking transition to a new way of life. Discipline is strict and there is an emphasis on hard work, physical training, and unquestioning obedience to authority. The new private is told when to sleep, when to get up and when to eat.
