Farewell to Blogs

In Hemingway's "Farewell to Arms" Morrison would find plenty to talk about, ranging from the defining of an act, to the racist remarks. This novel follows an American ambulance driver through World War One with an Italian ambulance unit. Though he never gets near the front lines, the main character defines the war is being a complete waste of time that's getting them nowhere. Talking about whether the Austrians or the Germans are coming and possibly taking some captives. This can be seen as a racially defining moment, even though both sides have the same skin color, they define their race by the country they fight for. The taking of captives can be seen as the capturing of slaves of a different race to keep to help them run their army more smoothly, by abusing them for information. Yet Hemingway didn't seem as much of the type of racially unjustified writer that Morrison usually went after. He seemed to create tensions in other areas instead of using the boring old race card.
