Literary analysis
1.) Is the story "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" autobiographical? How did the author's experiences inform the work? How is this story different from his life?
2.) Hemingway is often criticized for his treatment of women, particularly in "Snows." Is this criticism fair or not?
3.) What is the theme of the story, and how does Hemingway use the elements of literature to demonstrate and support this theme?
4.) Discuss symbolism in "Snows," and choose four or five strong images and symbols and discuss the author's intent.
