a brief review of Ernest Hemingway and Thomas Mann

This author would never do anything to parody children or poke fun at students. So this comparison of Ernest Hemingway and Thomas Mann will not theme and focus on young students making comic mistakes concerning who wrote what.

Did Hemingway write "death in Venice"and did Thomas Mann write "death in the afternoon"and the parts of "the sun also rises" dealing with bullfighting? that's the premise

What if Hemingway himself had to sit at the beach in Venice and stare at the 14 year old Tadzio, character in Thomas Mann's "Death in Venice".  How long would it take Ernest Hemingway who wasn't a homosexual to stare at a boy at the beach if he couldn't fish, drink excessively, try to pick up married women, dream of being a bull fighter or at least really run in Pamploma, Spain  with the bulls.

Like wise what if Thomas Mann's character Aschenbach from " death in Venice" had to occupy one of Hemingway's novels praising the manly virtues of boxing, fishing, drinking, fighting, shooting lions,and whoring etc? What if Tom Mann himself was running with the bulls in Pamploma, was gored by a bull, tossed 23 feet into the air and trammeled to death?

Hemingway and Mann could not write each others novels. That's all there is to that.
