Ernest Hemingway was raised by a mom who uncovered him towards the Arts through a doctor-father who was a rugged person and trained Hemingway about weapons, the outside and the significance of fearing nothing (Hulse). Drawn to War despite his physical limitations (particularly his eyesight), Hemingway was an secours driver and a canteen worker in the thick of battle, obtaining severe wounds and a silver honor of valor.
