- Annotation
- Practical approach for making material elements of the novel s key duck-hunt frame story more accessible and engaging to twenty-first-century students who may be unfamiliar with Hemingway s physical world. Ebel posits and responds to a range of potential topics, including duck hunting practices and equipment, guide s role, and Veneto geography. Concludes that such basic hunting knowledge encourages students fuller understanding of Cantwell s transformation and the novel s larger themes of war, revenge, and reconciliation. Appendix F (195-96) provides a sample assignment using concrete objects and reminds the reader of the usefulness of guest speakers and in-seat students with hunting or military backgrounds for intergenerational learning and connection.
