11. Check the events of the book against those of his life and decide which are "truer." Which make the better story? Ultimately what this question asks is, How good a book is Farewell?

12. Here's a chance to examine why a particular scene that you remember is so great. Things to consider include: memorable details, effective description, suspense or excitement, emotional involvement, realism, a vivid creation of mood, use of symbols.

13. Here you're going to try to get into the writer's mind, remembering that writers often like to play with words. How many meanings can "arms" have? Does Henry actually bear arms? Why does Hemingway devote a few pages to talking about Henry's pistol? Against whom does he use the pistol? To what arms does he say farewell?


14. This question asks for close examination of the book on a theme level. If you are convinced that Hemingway is presenting themes, ask yourself how he does it. Check the sections in this guide that deal with theme.

15. This is clearly a two-part question. The first part asks you to analyze and describe the ways Hemingway puts his words together. The second requires evaluation. Your first section should, therefore, be factual. There is little room for personal opinion until you get to the next part. Here, as in all essay answers, your ability to back up your statements with reference to the book will be a great measure of your success.   NEXT
