Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois. His father Dr. Clarence Edmonds Hemingway was a medical doctor and invented surgical forceps. Hemingway's mother Grace Hall Hemingway considered herself pure and proper. She was a dreamer and taught her children to always act with decorum. The town of Oak Park, where Ernest grew up was old fashioned and very religious. Ernest was quite the explorer and when he couldn’t go out, he escaped to his room and read books.

As a student he was a perfectionist about his grammar and was very excited to study English. He attended Oak Park High School where he joined the school newspaper and was part of a variety of extra-curricular activities.

While on duty Ernest got shot in his knee and was sent to the hospital to recuperate. In the hospital he meets and falls in love with a nurse at the hospital called Agnus.
