There is room in the Honors section of Writing 201 in which Valerie Hemingway, who served as Ernest Hemingway's last assistant, will co-teach. She will help us to explore some of Hemingway's writings: The Sun Also Rises ,  A Farewell to Arms , and selected short stories. While Hemingway will provide the content focus of the course, there will  be lots of options for doing one's research paper. Valerie provides a personal glimpse at historical happenings that continue to affect us, for example, the Cuban Revolution and Fidel Castro's visit to Hemingway.
