- 904: Alienation Paper Hemmingway
- Alienation Paper The novels The Old Man and the Sea and The Sun Also Rises are both written by Ernest Hemingway. Some of the aspects of the stories are similar, and some are different.

This similarity leads to several others since Hemingway seems to have a certain writing style that can be found in all of his works. For instance, both stories are written in a very concise manner. The sentences are short and to the point, and he doesnt add any unnecessary words. After a first reading, the sentences even seem drab and emotionless. Another similarity between the books that could be due to the ...
