my evidence is the short stories "hills like white elephants," "the killers," and "today is friday." in fact, "the killers" is the basis for a film noir of the same name and the first ten minutes of the film basically just uses hemingway's dialogue word for word because it couldn't really be improved upon

The literary equivelant to an Edward Hopper, Hemingway has enraptured readers with his terse yet evocative use of the written word. Each story is a kaleidoscope, his utilization of omission works in a hypnotizing and atmospheric effect. Hemingway moves from Saharan hunts brimming with sun-beating, murderous intensity to Spanish civil wars and cloudy French metropolitans. βThe Short Happy Life of Francis Macomberβ is one of many stories which have stuck with me, and the book will stick with you after the last word and long after the turn of the final page.

i'm not sure if you consider more recent classics but as a lit major here are some of my faves that could be considered classics: wuthering heights, pride and prejudice, song of solomon, the crying of lot 49, slaughterhouse five, 1984, hamlet, macbeth, and it's not a novel but the collected short stories of ernest hemingway... many of them are bangers. i'm not a hemingway novel fan but his short stories are often so good

there's a little stray kitty cat that i've been seeing around my house so i put some food out for it and the next day it was gone. today i saw the cat as i got home so i got more food and went outside and the cat was across the street. i shook the food in the bag and it heard it and turned around. i put the food out and went back inside and as soon as i was inside the cat came running over for the food. it was hungry! i tried to come outside for a pet but the cat started to run away so i stayed inside so it could eat in peace. i hope someday i can pet it
