In “Scott Fitzgerald”, “Hawks Do Not Share”, and “A Matter of Measurements”, Hemingway describes his life-long friendship with fellow American writer, F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald and Hemingway were became good friends, even though they had a little bit of a professional rivalry. Hemingway’s sympathetic attitude toward Fitzgerald shows that Fitzgerald had many idiosyncrasies but Hemingway was willing to look past these quirks and find a true friend. Hemingway portrays his attitude towards Fitzgerald with his physical and environmental characterizations. Physically, Hemingway states that Scott “looked like a boy with a face between handsome and pretty. He had very fair wavy hair…and a delicate long-lipped mouth that, on a girl, would have been a mouth of beauty” (149). Fitzgerald had quite a feminine face, one of his many idiosyncrasies. His appearance also gave hints as to what his personality was like. He had a “mouth [that] worried you until you knew him and then it worried you more” (149). Further in Hemingway’s description, Hemingway realizes that Fitzgerald is quite the talker. Moreover, Hemingway comments on Fitzgerald’s clothing.
