 Hemingway is distinctly different from his contemporaries for his abruptness of style and uniqueness of technique. The simplicity of diction and plausibility of annunciation in his fictions are very arresting. The clarity of precision and directness of approach are perhaps the most prominent traits of his novels. Articulation of personal experience is well established in his novels too. The dialogic approach indeed makes his fictions more delicious. The characters of his novels give the impression that they are engaged in live-talks as they exchange dialogue among themselves. The expression of uncontrollable emotion in a forbidden and composed variety perhaps exhibits the uniqueness of his writings. Hemingway's words are essentially just words like any other words, but the way he blends them together is his unique modus operandi, a stylistic recipe that no other writer has been able to recreate. However, this paper purports to highlight the unique style and technique of Hemingway in his masterpiece, The Old Man and the Sea.
