1.  Expats in Paris  Library to get books  Anticipating The Sun Also Rises  Picturing Hemingway  Hemingway’s Iceberg Theory  Time to work on Gatsby outlines

2.  The 20s were booming. Why did many authors, like Fitzgerald and Hemingway, want to get out?  Prohibition – Substance abusers need substance  Censorship – Push back against women’s liberation  Moral Authority  Institutionalized Racism  Birth of KKK  Headquartered in Detroit to partner with Henry Ford  Nationalism/Anti-Immigration  Tulsa Race Riots of ‘21  Troubled Economy  Credit and debt, no safety net  Isolationism – Backed out of League of Nations

3.  What made this particular city so appealing?  No Prohibition  Synergy  All the artists were already there. New artists on the scene fed off the others  Center for artistic movements (Modernism)

4.  Debunking delusions  Remember Gatsby ? The “rock of the world on the wing of a fairy”? This sentiment was seeping into many aspects of philosophy, psychology, art, music, literature, baking, etc.  Something(s) about American life at the times was disguising life as it truly was.

7.  What do we know about Hemingway? What do we think we know?  Remember our conversation about book titles for Gatsby. What does the title The Sun Also Rises conjure in your mind? How does it hit you as a jumping off point for this text? In what direction, as a reader, is it pointing you?  Consider the cover art  Page 99 analysis

8. “I always try to write on the principle of the iceberg. There is seven - eighths of it under water for every part that shows. Anything you know you can eliminate and it only strengthens your iceberg. It is the part that doesn’t show.”  How this translates to Hemingway’s style is an almost complete absence of sentimentality.

9.  Observe pgs. 46-47 from “She must have been…”  It appears to be a pretty heated exchange, although it is without the cues that let the reader know exactly what is happening, cues like “he said angrily” or “I replied apologetically” or “I knew I should have laid off but felt the urge to keep prodding.”  Hemingway makes us do the work to fill in the gaps here? What do you think?  Now observe pg. 118 from “’I saw you out…’”  It appears they’re joking/teasing each other but none of that language is there…

10.  I’m looking for:  Debatable thesis  >2 appropriate pieces of evidence  With conclusions supporting your thesis  Appropriate background, transitions  Basic format of an outline:  Intro  Body Paragraphs 1, 2, 3  Conclusion
