Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: B+, Humboldt-University of Berlin, 25 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Sherwood Anderson and Ernest Hemingway are two very influential American writers.

In the following chapter I will make plain, that the initiation theme is also a very important aspect in a lot of other short stories of Anderson, as for example in I want to kw why, where a boy painfully has to encounter a form of sexual initiation. To be able to identify also other styles of creating initiation stories, I will focus on Hemingway's Nick Adams stories, on the first one, Indian camp, where young Nick is forcefully initiated to birth and death, and on the last one, Fathers and sons, where Nick as a father himself reflects on his past and
