I think I would have to land on Ernest Hemingway, although my mind reels at the possible guests that would enlighten the mind, spirit, and soul!. Hemingway has been my favorite author for most of my life and my writing is greatly influenced by him.
To get the chance to peer into his eyes and possible catch a glimpse of the creative genius that drove this literary legend would be among the most sublime of moments.
To be able to read his facial expressions and body language to try and answer the questions of what tortured the soul of such a creative artist to the point he felt he could no longer bear it, would be fascinating and horrifying in the same instant. Yes, dinner with Hemingway would borderline on a religious experience.
Thanks for such a creative contest!
Hemingway would definitely be on my list. If you don't mind my asking, what's your favorite novel of his?
You have excellent taste! lol I would have to say A Moveable Feast would be my favorite novel. Although it is not a traditional novel, it delves into the highs and lows, the recesses and corners of Hemingway as he struggled to perfect his craft and hone his skill. You get a true sense of the atmosphere of Paris at the time and the engaging ex-pats he associated with. It was a marvelous time for literature!
I have read some of A Moveable Feast and definitely agree that it's a great novel. I tried to read it during the thick of grad school and when reading got heavy for other classes, it got dropped. I should really finish it though. My favorite is The Sun Also Rises. I know it's about the Lost Generation, but it still resonates almost 100 years later for me. Hemingway writes about life with such honesty and simplicity in that novel, that I can't help but love it.
Absolutely! It's the bare truth and raw emotion I adore.
My great grandparents and their parents.
Learning what their lives were like years ago in Europe, and what life was like, would be the most fascinating stories I can think of.
these really are my great great great grandparents
Why these people and not some well known person.
Simple I can read about them read most have Autobiography/Biography ok it wont tell you everything but everyone forgets the little people, and they have a lot to teach us to.
Thank you so much! You're questions are great @keciah , very thought provoking!
Einstein comes to mind first because I want to know his thoughts on other dimensional worlds if they really exist and how that relates to his theory on relativity.
John F. Kennedy the night before he was assassinated.
I would have to say Abraham Lincoln. I admire him and think it'd be fascinating to hear what he has to say in person.
This would definitely be one of my choices! Lincoln was an amazing man.
I am not really a fan of history class... ;) I would probably choose Lottie Moon. Or maybe Laura Ingalls Wilder. I'm a huge fan of both, so that would be a hard decision to make. Good question!
I want dinner with Mohamed Ali klay is a model is less like embodiment of the suffering of millions of blacks in the United States by the power of his personality.
I love the biography this man.
If I could have dinner with anyone from history, it would definitely be Walt Disney. This honourable man was a true pioneer of the world of animation and cartoon that has had left a huge legacy behind for us to embrace today, and even for many centuries to come.
I grew up with Disney cartoon characters and films, and now as a teacher, I used a lot of Disney animations in my lessons, especially during the reading routines. His utmost dedication and perseverance to succeed and be a world-changer have inspired us, despite his failures even to the point of bankruptcy.
Because of him, we now have Disney theme parks, resorts, movies, TV programs, characters, games, videos, music, shopping and so many more to enjoy and appreciate! Also, I have always been telling my parents that I could have inherited some amazing life aspects or characteristics of Walt Disney because I was born on December 15th, and that was the same date that he died (although it is of different years). Just a silly personal connection, but hey, Walt Disney was truly a legend. A powerhouse. :)
Oh yes, he's definitely one of my top 3 too.
YAY! :)
