Who wrote the novel "The Old Man and the Sea"?

I visited his beautiful home while in The Keys. dew claw kittys were lounging inside as part of his estate.

Player tami, I can't remember where Hemingway got his first cats, but they had extra dew claws. The cats you see at his house in the Keys are direct descendants from his original kittys!

Required reading for my degree in religion. Beautifully written.

Spencer Tracy received his sixth (of nine) Oscar nominations for Best Actor for "The Old Man and the Sea"

Want to read this classic novel. Going to the Keys and visiting is on my bucket list.

10bwc, It is not a short story. It is a novel. The book is over 100 pages long; that is too long to be a short story. It is a short novel. Hemingway did not use many adjectives or adverbs. His sentences were to the point. His novels were not very long, compared to most novels.

Player #1322344, All questions are easy . If you know the answer. This game covers so many areas you will find some you know . Most importantly, read the notes and learn . Then you will know

Player #4171860, you should read, as it's one of the free things you can do. plus, it will improve your spelling, just saying.

I have never read the book. It sounds like a good read.

look im not good at this but hope everyone do well

I happen to really like Hemingway because he didn't just write what he knew or saw, he had to experience it himself. What a man.

love the dash

I'm going to read it. I like adventures.

required reading in middle school

Love this game. Very good practice for brain.

penawareof, You don’t have to read the whole thing at once, but a good novel draws you into the story and keeps you interested in what comes next.

Anastasia, I had to read it in 9th grade English Literature class. We were each assigned a chapter and had to write a 500 word paper on it to summarize the chapter.

SparkyChaz2018, The blurb specifically said it is "a short novel" so, either they changed it or you read it wrong.

JimmyLovesQL, do not bother. They are both dumb

Andy Capp, I agree. As far as I am concerned, his only good trait is he liked cats and provided for them after his death. The cats' descendants have a permanent home in his Key West residence, now a museum.

At his home in Key West, the tour guide will tell you the story of when he was off covering the war, he had an affair. His wife back home found out about it and drained their bank account (about $20,000., a substantial amount back in the 1940's!), and replaced his boxing ring in the back yard with the largest swimming in the Keys. When he finally came home and saw what she had done, he was so angry, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a penny, threw it on the ground, and told her, "Well, since you've taken all of the money, you might as well take my last cent!". To this day, that very same penny is encased in glass in the same spot where he threw it!! I was there in April and saw it!!!

His house / museum is just a short walk from the Southernmost point of the USA. Loved The Keys.

I remember the movie the equalizer 😍

Ya'el, wondering about the origin of your name. A good friend of mine had a young daughter who passed away by the same name.

I always enjoy reading the novel "the old man and the sea"when I go to school.

Thank xfn

Bedlingtons, Yes it is; at the moment I am reading it and making me want another Hemmingway novel. John Steinbeck and his writings are good too.

Unfortunately his struggle was too much for him

What’s your name?

"Write drunk. Edit sober." -- Ernest Hemingway

How much does a Hemingway? about 3 pounds 🤣

I never understood why Hemingway was supposed to be so revered.

I read this book a long time ago.

Anastasia, LOL I know the feeling I loved the old man in the sea but I read it on my own we were forced to read Lord of The Flies hated every second of it to the point where I have never read the last chapter and I've read the book more than once I cannot bring myself to that last chapter because I dislike it so much

breeze4658, people on here keep saying extra dew claws they don't have extra dew claws they have extra toes on their feet they are called polydactyl cats it means extra digits they are also known as Mitten kittens it has nothing to do with an extra dew claw

Read this in Spanish in HS

That’s a BIG fish!

Not me who ran so fast to the library to find the book…

if your answer was correct ad me on IG 😌 @jozefthefirst

I always thought the setting for the novel was Cuba not mainland USA
