The names of two great 20th century American writers -Ernest Hemingway and Scott Fitzgerald are often associated because they both were American expatriates in France during 1920s, both produced literary works that have durable influence, and above all, they were once the closest friends to each other. I have never realized the two men were so close during Hemingway′s rise and Fitzgerald′s fall in the literary world. Hemingway was one of my favorite authors. His writing is clean, precise, and open to interpretation, unlike that of other writers of his time who told you every single thing about a character′s motivation. I knew Fitzgerald after I entered university and had the subject of American literature. His prose is smooth, sensitive and completely original in its diction and metaphors. Fitzgerald also became the author whom I like immensely.
