  8. My Opinion of Hemingway Ernest Hemingway is one of my favorite authors I enjoy reading his stories for two reasons: He includes good morals at the end of the story I find the places he writes about very interesting Before the project, I didn’t know much about his personal life/childhood Its strange to think that someone so brilliant would commit suicide
