光信1004 王清珺 U201013298 How dose the story reflect Hemingway’s writing style? Give details and examples. Colloquialism, economy, simple, and using very few adjectives and connectives are the writing styles of Hemingway. He insisted that the most powerful effect of words comes from restraint and understatement. And the most famous writing theory of him is called “Iceberg Theory”. “Iceberg Theory” demonstrates that only one eighth of the iceberg is above the water-- the literal meanings and the most valuable part is the seven eighth left–the part below, the inner meanings. Soldier’s Home is a good example of Hemingway’s writing style, some details and examples as follows are listed to demonstrate his writing style. 1、（2-2：means the second paragraph, the second sentence）. Sentences that describe the uniform are not fit to the soldiers could reflect that the treatment to the soldiers and the preparations for the war is not precise. People are not ready to join the war. This is a description of details. 2、(10-2~5) Sentences that describe that Krebs feels that he doesn’t interested in girls any more seems just to reflect his attitude to girls ,but in fact, we can deduce his mental conditions from these descriptions—that he lost the power that drives men advanced and he is facing a spiritual waste land. Every personality he showed is not a normal young man should be, as readers, we can feel that the crucial wars have already hurt spirits of the soldiers. These reflect his writing style: simple and less-adjective sentences but full of complicated and deep inner meanings. 3、(9-3,4) Sentences that describe the car deeply strike me, cause everything seems the same as if the war hasn’t broken out. Everything is stable, there is no sign of any progress. It means that the war itself is meaningless, because it brings nothing beneficial to people, but spiritual loss. This is a description of detail. 4、Dialogues between Krebs and his mother, Krebs said he didn’t in god’s kingdom.
