Hemingway and Fitzgerald were great writers of their time. Hemingway's stories are about having a proper
             role model to grow up to as you are a child and become, basically giving an image of a proper man, but the
             same goes for the stories for Fitzgerald. Their stories would always have a strong male character in their

             lie, that he could of made his life better and perhaps lived in a more happier state.
