In \u201cThe Snows of Kilimanjaro,\u201d how does the text handle Harry\u2019s injury and the process whereby he becomes gravely ill and dies? How was he injured, why didn\u2019t he treat the wound properly, and what stages of illness can you discern as the story unfolds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. In \u201cThe Snows of Kilimanjaro,\u201d it\u2019s clear that the presence of the hyena (which is noted several times) symbolizes Harry\u2019s approaching death. How, exactly, is the hyena represented so that it accomplishes this goal? Moreover, does the hyena symbolize anything besides Harry\u2019s death? If it does, where in the text do you find support for such a reading?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. In \u201cThe Snows of Kilimanjaro,\u201d what seems most significant about the way Harry analyzes his own life and his present predicament as a writer who still has much worth writing but no time left in which to write it, now that he is on the point of dying? If he thinks of himself as a failure, how does he account for that supposed failure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. In \u201cThe Snows of Kilimanjaro,\u201d even though the story is mostly about Harry in his final days, we also hear both from and about his wife Helen. What is her \u201cback story,\u201d and what seems to be her perspective on her life, her relationship with Harry, and his illness and passing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. In \u201cThe Snows of Kilimanjaro,\u201d Harry\u2019s final moments or hours are apparently taken up with a dream in which he is loaded into a small plane flown by a friend named Compton, who then flies the plane towards the summit of then-snowy Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. How do you interpret this symbolic journey \u2013 as a redemptive vision in which Harry somehow recovers some of the dignity and authenticity he had supposedly squandered, or do you read it in a less positive light? Either way, explain the basis of your own interpretation of Harry\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ERNEST HEMINGWAY QUESTIONS FOR E222 AMERICAN LITERATURECSU FULLERTON, FALL 2014 Note: see Journals page for details on keeping your journal.
