Mrs. Henson

A Hemingway Tribute by Caitlin Mueller

The Sun Also Rises makes me sad

Hemingway's style makes me really very mad.

I don't care about analyzing his style,

I wouldn't mind not reading any books of his for awhile.

So what if he is the voice of a past generation

He is not very vital to my education.
