Choose a series of details, images, or phrases from Ernest Hemingway’s “Big Two-Hearted River” and use them to develop a thesis about how the story employs his “iceberg theory” of writing. What do the moments you’ve selected reveal about the unwritten “truth” beneath the surface of the text? How do they suggest what remains unsaid? How does this contribute to the
meaning of the piece? In your view, is Hemingway’s style effective? You may wish to consider the deleted ending of the story (which we encountered as “On Writing”). Was Hemingway right to cut this section? How might the inclusion of these pages change our reading of the story?
