Why is this such an integral part of every literature class in the high schools of America? I think there are much more fascinating works by Hemingway yet this is the one which is held up as the one to be studied and many of the others are ignored.

One of the most famous American novelists, short-story writers and essayists, Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) won both the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes. His deceptively simple prose style has influenced and inspired a wide range of writers of his generation and beyond.
Gay Talese is the bestselling author of eleven books. He was a reporter for the New York Times from 1956 to 1965, and since then he has written for the Times, Esquire, The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, and other national publications. Gay Talese was born in Ocean City, New Jersey, and currently lives in New York City. His groundbreaking article "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" was named the "best story Esquire ever published," and he was credited by Tom Wolfe with the creation of an inventive form of nonfiction writing called "The New Journalism." His most recent book is A Writer's Life, which was published by Knopf in 2006 and was reissued in trade paperback by The Random House Publishing Group in July 2007.

I know that Hemingway was the victim of suicide. Were there many drastic events which led to this turn in his life or was there something right there at the end that could have caused him to kill himself? Were there those who had been afraid that he would do this for a long time?
