The Sun Also Surprises
Published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises was Hemingway's first big success, but that's not necessarily why you should care. You should care because The Sun Also Rises established a different kind of author, with a different kind of voice. Simplistic yet profound, The Sun Also Rises is Romeo & Juliet a few centuries later, with its own set of questions about that ever perplexing thing called "love." Relevant for a variety of reasons, The Sun Also Rises, when put alongside For Whom the Bell Tolls, is a fantastic way to show students how writers, and one's ability to write, gets better and better through consistent application.
