In this story the reflection of the personal experience of the author can be also found. He returned from Italy in 1919 and his Oak Park seemed dull for him in comparison with the things he had to come through during the war and traveling in foreign lands. He was only nineteen then and romantic relations with older woman (Agnes von Kurowsky) were also exciting for him. His family couldn’t understand and appreciate all the sufferings their son had to bear and were trying to make him find the place of work and continue education. Thus the feelings of his hero were really close to his own after returning home.

Overall, Hemingway is one of the brightest figures of the 20th century, his childhood, his life experience helped to fill his works with thrilling plot and on the other hand true-to-life events. His talent and personality were and would be of great interest for the readers.
