Authors have the incredible skills to make their works mimic life to an extraordinary level, and vice versa. In this Hemingway book, a man named Harry Morgan is trying to provide for his family as much as he can, though their bond is weakening. His wife and daughters are his priority, so he prepares himself to risk his life for extra money -- and hopefully to take them out of their financial struggles. Harry illegally transports foreign peoples between Cuba and the Floridian area of Key West. Hemingway used a familiar approach to writing this book, and his fans will remember it: the gritty reality of life. For example, Harry loses his arm, he does not have the same love for his wife that he used to, and the atmosphere commonly contains a feeling of despair. However, this allows for a more enduring, sympathetic experience. Hemingway is excellent with showing readers the power of man and his ability to overcome his adversities.
