Hemingway seems to be a little odd to want to join the army coming up in a well to do family. Maybe for teens in the early nineteen hundreds that was the thing to do. I think it is also odd since the American army wouldn’t let him join because of his vision he decides to join the Italian front. I guess his short time on the front line was the beginning to a very well known career in writing and poetry. He was a very good writer and had to be to win a Nobel Prize and I think he has some of the best short stories I have read. It is very ironic how his father and Ernest both took their own lives. The story of the short happy life of Francis Macomber is weird none the lease but a very good story. Francis and Margot his wife are on a safari in Africa with a guide named Wilson when Francis becomes somewhat of a coward when it comes to hunting lions. I think his wife was very embarrassed about it and didn’t know what to do. I’m not sure if Margot likes the hunting guide or just really doesn’t like her husband. I think the only reason she is with Francis is because of his money. After Francis finds out about Margot and Wilson sleeping together he should have left then. I think it was really strange to find out that Margot shoots her husband while supposedly trying to shoot a buffalo. I think she shot him on purpose because she was a gold digger.
