TITLE=PEOPLE IN AMERICA #1810 - ERNEST HEMINGWAY, PT. 1
BYLINE=RICHARD THORMAN
     voice one:
     I'm shirley griffith.     Voice two:     And I'm frank¹ oliver with people in america, a special english program about people who were important in the history of the united² states. Today, we tell about the life of writer ernest hemingway.
     (theme)
     Voice one:
     "A writer is always alone, always an (1)outsider," (2)ernest (3)hemingway said.     Others said that of the many people he (4)created in his books, hemingway was his own best creation
     Ernest hemingway was born in eighteen-ninety-five. He grew up in (5)oak³ park, illinois, near the middle western city of chicago. He was the second child in a family of six. His father was a doctor. His mother liked to paint and play the piano.
     Each summer the family travelled to their holiday home in northern (6)michigan. Ernest's father taught him how to catch fish, hunt, set up a camp and cook over a fire.
     At home in oak park, ernest wrote for his school newspaper. He tried to write like a famous sports writer of that time, ring lardner. He developed his writing skills this way.
     Voice two:
     In nineteen-seventeen, hemingway decided⁴ not to go to a (7)university. The united states had just entered world war one and he wanted to join the army. But the army rejected him because his (8)yesight was not good enough.     Ernest found a job with the (9)kansas city star newspaper in kansas city, (10)missouri. He reported news from the hospital, police (11)headquarters, and the railroad⁵ station. One reporter remembered: "hemingway liked to be where the action was."
     The kansas city star (12)demanded that its reporters write short (13)sentences. It wanted reporters to see the unusual details in an (14)incident. Hemingway quickly learned⁶ to do both.
     He worked for the newspaper only nine months before he joined the red cross to help on the battlefields⁷ of europe. His job was to drive a red cross truck carrying wounded⁸ away from battle.
     Voice one:
     The red cross sent him to italy. Soon he saw his first wounded when an arms factory in (15)milan exploded. Later, he was sent to the battle front. He went as close to the fighting as possible to see how he would act in the face of danger. Before long, he was seriously wounded.
     The war ended soon after he healed⁹. Hemingway returned to the united states. Less than a year had passed since he went to (16)europe. But in that short time he had changed forever. He needed to write about what he had seen.     Voice two:
     Ernest hemingway left home for chicago to prove to himself, and to his family, that he could earn a living from his (17)writing.
     But, he ran out of money and began to write for a newspaper again. The canadian newspaper, the (18)toronto star, liked his reports about life in chicago and paid him well.
     Voice one:
     In chicago, hemingway met the writer sherwood anderson. Anderson was one of the first writers in america to write about the lives of common people. Hemingway saw that anderson's stories showed life as it really was, the way hemingway was trying to do.
     Anderson gave hemingway advice about his writing. He told hemingway to move to paris, where living was less costly¹⁰. He said paris was full of young artists and writers from all over the world.
     In return for anderson's (19)kindness hemingway wrote a book called the torrents¹¹ of spring. It makes fun of anderson and the way he wrote. There was something in hemingway that could not say "thank you" to anyone. He had to believe he did everything for himself, even when he knew others helped him.     Voice two:
     Hemingway decided to move to paris. But before he did he married a woman he had recently met. Her name was hadley (20)richardson.
     Paris was cold and gray when hemingway and his new wife arrived in nineteen-twenty-one. They lived in one of the poorer parts of the city. Their rooms were small and had no running water. But the toronto star (21)employed him as its european reporter, so there was enough money for the two of them to live. And the job gave hemingway time to write his stories.
     Voice one:
     Hemingway enjoyed (22)exploring paris, making new friends, learning¹² french customs¹³ and sports. Some new friends were artists and writers who had come to paris in the nineteen-twenties. Among them were poet, ezra pound, and writers gertrude stein, john dos passos, and f. Scott (23)fitzgerald. They quickly saw that hemingway was a good writer. They helped him publish his stories in the united states. He was thankful for their support at the time, but later denied¹⁴ that he had received help.
     As a reporter, hemingway travelled all over europe. He wrote about (24)politics. He wrote about peace conferences¹⁵ and border disputes¹⁶. And he wrote about sports, skiing¹⁷ and fishing. Later he would write about bull¹⁸ fighting in spain. The toronto star was pleased with his work, and wanted more of his reports. But hemingway was busy with his own writing.
     He said: "sometimes, i would start a new story and could not get it going. Then i would stand and look out over the roofs of paris and think. I would say to myself: 'all you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence you know. So (25)finally, i would write a true sentence and go on from there. It was a (26)wonderful (27)feeling when i had worked well."     voice two:
     Hemingway's first book of stories was called in our time. It included a story, called "big two hearted river," about the effect of war on a young man.     It tells about the young man taking a long fishing trip in michigan. Hemingway had learned from his father when he was a boy about living in the wild.
     The story is about two kinds of rivers. One is calm and clear. It is where the young man fishes. The other is dark. It is a (28)swamp, a (29)threatening place.
     The story shows the young man trying to forget his past. He is also trying to forget the war. Yet he never really speaks about it. The reader learns about the young man, not because hemingway tells us what the young man thinks, but because he shows the young man learning about himself.     "big two hearted river" is (30)considered one of the best modern american stories. It is often published in collections of best writing.
     Voice one:
     After the book was (31)published in nineteen-twenty-five, hadley and hemingway returned to the united states for the birth of their son. They quickly returned to paris.
     Hemingway was working on a long story. He wanted to publish a (32)novel so he would be recognized as a(33)serious writer. And he wanted the money a novel would earn.
     The novel was called the sun also rises. It is about young americans in europe after world war one. The war had destroyed their (34)dreams. And it had given them nothing to replace those dreams. The writer gertrude stein later called these people members of "the lost (35)generation."
    Voice two:
     The book was an (36)immediate success. At the age of twenty-five ernest hemingway was famous.
     Many people, however, could not recognize hemingway's art because they did not like what he wrote about. Hemingway's sentences were short, the way he had been taught to write at the kansas city star newspaper. He wrote about what he knew and felt. He used few descriptive words. His statements¹⁹ were clear and easily understood.
     He had learned from earlier writers, like ring lardner and sherwood anderson. But hemingway brought something new to his writing. He was able to paint in words what he saw and felt. In later books, sometimes he missed. Sometimes he even looked foolish. But when he was right he was almost perfect.     Voice one:
     With the success of his novel, hemingway became even more popular in paris. Many people came to see him. One was an american woman, pauline pfeiffer. She became hadley's friend. Then pauline fell in love with hemingway.     Hemingway and pauline saw each other secretly. One time, they went away together on a short trip. Years later, hemingway wrote about returning home after that trip:
     "when i saw hadley again, i wished i had died before i ever loved anyone but her. She was smiling and the sun was on her lovely face."
     But the (37)marriage was over. Ernest hemingway and hadley separated²⁰. She kept their son. He agreed to give her money he (38)earned from his books.
      In later years, he looked back at his marriage to hadley as the happiest time of his life.
