1. The author is Ernest Hemingway. According to Nobelprize.org, Ernest Hemingway was a reporter, writer, and also served as a volunteer in the Italian army. I think his experiences and personal interests had a large influence in his writing. The story is about bull fighting; this happens to be one of his favorite hobbies (Mrs. Darrow).
2.The audience seems to pertain to older men who would find interest in the same type of sport. Ernest Hemingway refers directly to men several times throughout his story.
3. This author is not only informing and educating the audience, he is also providing entertainment.
4. The author uses a topic that many Americans do not agree with. I think he approaches this subject very carefully before he lets us in on what is going on. Ernest Hemingway shows his emotions to us and how he views the situation which ultimately provides understanding.
5. Ernest Hemingway is writing about the running of the bulls which is very important to the Spanish culture. In the story he refers to how important it is and also how long it has been going on.
