Ernest Hemingway possessed a very unique writing style that is often compared to an iceberg. The Iceberg theory refers to how Hemingway only included the most crucial pieces of information in his writing, the rest was hidden away below the surface. Two of Hemingway’s pieces that display his writing style include “A Canary for One” and “Hills Like White Elephants”. “A Canary for One”, a short story written by Hemingway, tells the story of a woman who took her daughter away from her love because she thinks that American men make the best husbands.
