What is the technique and structure of Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises?

's
is written using a first person narrator. First person narrators play a role in the action of
the story, act as the(main character), and tend to tell the story of his or her life (and the
conflicts he or she faces).  

Very different from the elaborate dialogue and
sentences in The Great Gatsby, Hemingway uses short and simplistic
sentences to push along the fast pace of the novel. The dialogue tends to be realistic in nature
(readers can see people actually having the conversations the characters in the text have-given
the lack of constantly elevated language). Hemingway's characters speak (or so it seems)
realistically and truthfully (to human nature, not to the truth itself). 

The
structure of the novel mirrors the technique Hemingway applies. The sentences tend to be short,
choppy, and fast moving. The simplicity of the sentences and word choice are
determined. 

Like most authors, Hemingway also themes and motifs to speak to
an internal or hidden message. Structurally, the themes come out in the realistic actions and
dialogue (morality and meaning in life). IN the same way, the motifs (communication, drinking,
and friendship) need to be "persuaded" out the terse dialogue--readers need to
"read into" the text.
