This is the groundbreaking first novel by Ernest Hemingway,
demonstrating his world view. He chronicles a heart-wrenching love story
against the backdrop of the angst and aimlessness of Lost Generation
expatriates in 1920s Europe.
Activities:
Students assess and evaluate characterization in the novel. They conduct a close examination of syntax. They analyze the novel as a whole, and place particular emphasis on the use of allusion. There are many opportunities for students to have small and large group discussions, conduct research on related topics, and practice responses to simulated AP test questions.
Supplementary materials include a study guide with answer key. Culminating activities lead students to conduct additional work with essays, analysis, creative writing, presentations, and research with primary and secondary resources.
