Agenda:

• The Lost Generation
  • "Disoriented, wandering, directionless"—a recognition that there was great confusion and aimlessness among the war's survivors in the early post-war years.
• In Our Time group work
  • Hemingway was known for his "tough, terse prose." He wrote of characters who "suffered unseen scars, both physical and emotional." Select one of the short stories and evaluate Hemingway's prose -- how is it considered "tough, and terse?" How does a character suffer from an "unseen scar?"
  • How does Hemingway display aspects of the lost generation era within the short story and through his characters?
  • How is the theme of masculinity portrayed within the short story?
• Workshop time: In Our Time slide, blog, or Author Imitation
