Earnest Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899. He was born in Illinois in the city of Oak Park. Out of six children he was the first born son. He lived a relatively normal life and even became a reporter for The Kansas City Star, and worked for then for just around six months. He later tried to join the U.S. Army to see what it was like in WWI but failed the medical entrance exam. Instead of giving up, he decided to join the American Fields Service Ambulance Corps, where on the first day of duty he was sent to pick up human bodies that belonged to women that were bombed in a nearby factory. In 1918 he was wounded, ending his career, his consolation prize, a Silver Medal of Military Valor from the Italian Government.
He married his first wife, Elizabeth Richardson, in 1921. He moved with his new bride to reside in Paris. He wrote his first book, entitled Three Stories and Ten Poems in 1923. When his wife became pregnant they moved back to the stated by the time she was due. His first American book published was In Our Time in 1925. he divorced and remarried to Pauline Pfeiffer, and published a new book, Men Without Women all in the same year of 1923
He wrote and published many book of poetry and short stories after that. He was injured very badly in 1954; he was victim of two plane crashes. Only moths later he was subject to a terrible bushfire that left him with second-degree burns on his legs, torso, lips, left hand, and right forearm. He fell into depression and also into heavy drinking. Hemingway attempted suicide in the spring of 1961 and failed, but shortly after his 62nd birthday he took a shotgun shot to the head by his own hands and ended his life on July, 2, 1961.
