Miss Sees SaysErnest Hemingways writing is unique just asEdgar Allan Poe. It seems logical to speak abouthim next just because his voice is so distinct.

He includes good morals at the end of the story.

He writes about topics that I would neverconsider. Once reading his stories, however, I

think about them in a different kind of way.
