Wheeling, IL – January 21, 2020 –The Addolorata Villa in Wheeling, part of the Franciscan Communities, will be hosting the LifeLong Learning Institute program “Two By Hemingway,” presented in partnership with Harper College, on Thursday, February 13, from 1:00pm-3:00pm. This is one of many enriching and entertaining educational opportunities available to Addolorata Villa residents and all local adults ages 55 and older.
This talk looks at two short stories, “A Clean Well-Lighted Place” and “The End of Something,” as examples of key Ernest Hemingway themes: life is a battlefield, everyone’s wounded, and the only response is grace under pressure. In addition, we’ll examine his life and literary style to see what makes Hemingway a permanent American icon. American writers who came after Hemingway consciously imitated his style or worked hard not to imitate him—he was, and remains, that influential.
With no required educational background, homework, or grades, the Lifelong Learning Institute provides great discussions, new friendships, and the joy of learning among peers. To secure your spot in this free program, RSVP with Liz Starman at (847) 808-4421. Seating is limited.
