Hemingway has a distinct style of presenting his novels to the reader. For one, he has a mild idea of how to describe sceneray to the reader. Unfortunatly, he has a poor habit of describing characters. He uses minimal adjectives to describe the characters and his imagery is lacking to say the least. Cohn is really the only character we get a halfway decent description of, and that is of small quality as it is. "He had a flattened nose... and took to wearing spectacles." (Hemingway 11.)
Do not get me wrong, however. Never do i say that this is a bad choice of writing style. thankfully, unlike what the media had done to recent generations, it keeps the readers imagination flowing, and growing, as they fill in the gaps of what they think the characters would look like, using and ever changing opinion of them to grow upon the characters features. More over, I feel reading books like this with a lack f imagery can be of great use in stimulating the mind.
