Hemingway.

Ernest Hemingway's distinctive writing style is simple and direct, although his exact words were, "Yet, I sometimes think that my style is suggestive rather than direct. The reader must often use his imagination or lose the most subtle part of my thoughts." In every one of Hemingway's short stories, his descriptive writing plays a big role in how the story comes across to the readers. Because understanding the setting often adds great comprehension to the plot of each story, Hemingway dedicates a large part of the text to the description of the situation. He puts emphasis on nouns, rather than adjectives, and strings those nouns along by means of conjunctions to paint a clear and distinct picture of the story's conditions. Hemingway describes every sight, movement, sound, smell, and feeling that he wants the reader to experience with him, creating a captivating scenery that brings the readers along into the story. Following in the footsteps of Mark Twain, Hemingway also takes advantage of commas and semicolons to write long, detailed sentences, where even some good-length paragraphs are only formed by one continuous sentence. By using this method of writing, he captures a snap-shot moment of what is occurring and it also creates one simultaneous action. In Hemingway's short stories, Nick Adams is the name that he gave to the fictional persona, largely autobiographical, whom he often wrote about. Like Hemingway himself, Nick is the son of a doctor ("The Indian Camp") and he relishes fishing and hunting in the northern peninsula of Michigan ("Big Two-Hearted River").
