As a writer Hemingway is on a quest for the 'one true of perfect sentence.' What do you think Hemingway has in mind when he says this?Include...

In 1964, literary critic and author Alfred Kazin explained
that Hemingway, journalist and minimalist, sought the perfect sentence to the point of
almost obsessive behavior.  Kazin stated that Hemingway sought that "true sentence"
that

would
have the primacy of experience, that would relive a single unit of
experience.

Kazin has
captured the two requisites of Hemingway's sentences.  Because he had been a journalist,
Hemingway sought objectivity and succinctness.  Yet, his near and frequent experiences
with death impelled him to seek to write not just a succinct and minimal sentence with
no transitions, no superfluous clauses or phrases, but also to have a sentence that
would, through its "cadence" and subtle "culminating word," unsettle the readers just
enough to make them take notice of a different way of saying something.  Hemingway
sought to communicate an almost metaphysical experience in a simple, but intimate
sentence.

The succinct and minimal, but often intimate
sentences of Hemingway are of simple diction, usually monosyllabic words of Anglo-Saxon,
as opposed to Latin, origin.  Structurally, Hemingway writes simple sentences, rather
than complex ones.  With little or no figurative language, they are more jounalistic
rather than literary in the effort for direct meaning to be
apparent.
