Three Day Blow by Ernest Hemingway

I chose to write about Ernest Hemingway over the eccentricities associated with Edgar Allen Poe because while his style of writing isn't filled with the same dramatic flare as Poe's it is distinct in its own right. It's easy to see with Poe's work that he utilizes a very distinct style whereas Hemingway has a much more subtle way of proving himself to be unique.
He largely uses dialogue as the man focus of his work and does so in such a way that the paragraphs that aren't involving it have more meaning and depth to it. The dialogue between the two friends is so incredibly aloof and light there's no way to make assumptions about what they mean, there's no hidden thoughts behind what they say. It lends a different feel to the story as there doesn't appear to be and bias on the part of the author, he is just writing what he sees as the narrator which is not seen in many, as they try to intertwine hidden meanings and messages.
This clear and to the point style of Hemingway's writing allows him to create meaningful paragraphs containing the underlying situation where needed, without it being trumped by the character's talking. As shallow as it may seem Three Day Blow is still a story that has all the right parts without the confusion associated with them today.
