Why did Ernest Hemingway's chicken cross the road?

To Die...
In the Rain...
Alone.

1899 -- Macho-man Ernest Hemingway lives. American novelist,
short-story writer & essayist, whose deceptively simple prose
style has influenced wide range of writers.

      Hemingway's obsession with war, big-game
                     hunting, & bullfighting is seen in his
                              

                       masterworks.

     This Included the Spanish Revolution of 1936.
              Other writers in the Spanish Revolution:
     Federico Garcia Lorca, George Orwell, AndrĂ©
        Malraux, Langston Hughes, William Herrick.

     Ava Gardner played in three Hemingway films:
                The Killers, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, 
                                          The Sun Also Rises.
