Orlando Jonathan Blanchard Copeland Bloom was born on January 13, 1977 in Canterbury, Kent, <em><u>England</u></em>. His mother, Sonia Constance Josephine Bloom (née Copeland), was born in Kolkata, India, to an English family then-resident there. The man he first knew as his father, Harry Bloom, was a legendary political activist who fought for civil rights in South Africa.
Hemingway was driving an ambulance in Italy not because he had been injured or because he was a doctor, but because he was assisting the Red Cross on the Italian front.
Hemingway first served in World War I and later lived in Paris. He also wrote A Farewell to Arms after the war and drew on his personal experiences to do so. Finally, he retired to Key West.
Hemingway's writing style was anything but commonplace or boring. In fact, it was the lack of wordiness and the creative succintless that made Hemingway's works so popular.
