Presentation Transcript

  1. Terms Associated with Hemingway • CODE HERO • “GRACE UNDER PRESSURE” – STOICISM, ORDER, DIGNITY, AND DECORUM • EXEMPLAR (“TUTOR”) AND APPRENTICE • RISK OF EXCLUSION • “LESS IS MORE”

  2. Code Hero • Man of action rather than man of theory • Idea of death behind all actions • “nada” – naturalistic universe • Restlessness and self-disclipline

  3. "Exactly what do you mean by 'guts'?” "I mean, grace under pressure."

  4. “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” • 1. Using your notes on Modernism, identify any of the common themes you found in this short story and briefly discuss them. • 2. How does the theory of exemplar and apprentice apply to this story? Which characters play these roles? Support with quotations.

  5. 3. According to various critics, Hemingway’s mastery as a short story writer lies in his “risk of exclusion”—”the form of the story came by what he would choose to leave out.” (the “risk is that the reader will find the story just a series of “sketches or pointless anecdotes.”) What details of the story has Hemingway left out? What is the effect? Did he leave out too much?

  6. 4. Hemingway’s nada parody of the Lord’s Prayer and the nothing parody of Hail Mary shock many readers. How do these prayers contribute to the overall meaning of the story? • 5. Explain the significance of the title. Find parallels between this story and the painting Nighthawks.
