A Farewell to Arms Post 2


Hemmingway has a unique way of using dialogue and interpreting conversations. He often uses dialogue without using quotation marks. He cleverly portrays back and forth conversation as simple sentences all in a paragraph. This makes the conversations seem short, even though a lot has been said. It is a good way to hear a conversation as the narrator most likely experienced it. This technique can make the book challenging though because it is tough to tell who’s saying what.
