EssayThe short stories The Snows of Kilimanjaro and The Short blessed Life of Francis Mocomber were both written by orbit renowned antecedent Ernest Hemingway. The dickens stories are written completely unrelated to individually other however, both stories have vast similarities in the time and mastermind in which they take place. Hemingway is a writer that is very methodical in his parole choices. When reading these two stories a second time the reader finds goodly differences in the writing style the author uses in each account statement. To demonstrate, three sentences from each story will be compared and contrasted to show the differences in reciprocation usage, word con nonation, and to find which story is written better. The initial pair of these sentences to be looked at are, A fourth planed down, to run quick-legged and then waddle slowly toward the others, from the short story The Snows of Kilimanjaro, and On the far bank of the stream Macomber could see, above th e trees, vultures circling and plummeting down, from the story The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber. The subsequent couple of sentences are You Bitch, he said, from the Snows of Kilimanjaro and Why not let up on the bitchery just a little, Margot, Macomber said, cutting the eland steak and putting some mashed potato, gravy and carrot on the down-turned fork that tined through the routine of meat. Finally, the third set of sentences are She shot very well this good, rich bitch, this kindly destroyer of his talent, from the story Snows of Kilimanjaro and That was a good shot, Wilson said, from the story, A Short Happy Life.The first sentence to be analyzed is, A fourth planed down, to run quick-legged and then waddle slowly toward the others, from the short story The Snows of Kilimanjaro. In this sentence Hemingway is describing the actions of a vulture landing. When compared with its corresponding sentence from the short story The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, On the far bank of the stream Macomber could see, above the trees, vultures circling and plummeting down, the reader pot see similarities in the two sentences. Both sentences have to do with vultures flying and landing. However, there is a significant difference in the authors word usage in each.

In the first sentence, shot is an action, a verb, where in the second sentence shot is a noun.The second sentence is the better than the first. The first sentence is cluttered with descriptive words leaving each word with less value. In the second sentence the word good is the focus of the sentence making it a better defined and more dogged sentence. When compared these two sentences are alike only in their differences, for example the meaning of the word shot in the first sentence and the word shot in the second sentence are th e same words with different perspectives.In conclusion the short story, The Short Happy Life of Francis Mocomber is the better written of the two short stories by Ernest Hemingway. The authors word usage, and connotation in this story, however similar to those in The Snows of Kilimanjaro, makes the reader clearly visualize the images he is exhausting to illustrate. The three sentences from The Short Happy Life of Francis Mocomber are all around better written, use better words, and better help the reader imagine the authors intentions.
