*Ostrich:
We often escape from reality, especially in danger and adversities just like ostrich that buries its head into the soil whenever encounters its predators in severe situation. It is called "Ostrich's Mind" by psychologists. However, it actually is a stupid behavior to face up to the emergency. So we should face the difficulty and danger in courage.
New Deal
*Frog:
Since we have inertia, so we always feel familiar with the environment we live in, and we ignore something changing slightly to bad and dangerous. We can cite an experiment of frogs as an illustration. If you put a frog into a pot full of boiling water directly, the frog will jump out of the pot immediately because of the high temperature it can not bear. But under another kind of circumstance that we put the same frog into warm water then heat it gradually to the boiling point, the frog unexpectedly adjusts itself to the increasingly high temperature and finally dies in the boiling water instead of jumping out as rapidly as it could. So we should have crisis awareness.
From Nobel Lectures, Literature 1901-1967, Editor Horst Frenz, Elsevier Publishing Company, Amsterdam, 1969

Hemingway - himself a great sportsman - liked to portray soldiers, hunters, bullfighters - tough, at times primitive people whose courage and honesty are set against the brutal ways of modern society, and who in this confrontation lose hope and faith. His straightforward prose, his spare dialogue, and his predilection for understatement are particularly effective in his short stories, some of which are collected in Men Without Women (1927) and The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories (1938). Hemingway died in Idaho in 1961.
*Mark Twain 源自*Ernest Hermingway
《有钱人和没钱人》（To Have And Have Not）《太阳照常升起》（The Sun Also Rises《The Old Man And The Sea》（老人与海《永别了武器》（A Farewell To Arms）
Ernest Hemingway, born in Oak Park, Illinois, started his career as a writer in a newspaper office in Kansas City at the age of seventeen. After the United States entered the First World War, he joined a volunteer ambulance unit in the Italian army. Serving at the front, he was wounded, was decorated by the Italian Government, and spent considerable time in hospitals. After his return to the United States, he became a reporter for Canadian and American newspapers and was soon sent back to Europe to cover such events as the Greek Revolution.
*Walt Whitman
Walter Whitman was an American poet, essayist, journalist, and humanist. Proclaimed the "greatest of all American poets" by many foreign observers a mere four years after his death, he is viewed as the first urban poet. He was a part of the transition between Transcendentalism and Realism, incorporating both views in his works. His works have been translated into more than twenty-five languages. Whitman is among the most influential and controversial poets in the American canon. His work has been described as a "rude shock" and "the most audacious and debatable contribution yet made to American literature." As Whitman wrote in Leaves of Grass (By Blue Ontario's Shore), "Rhymes and rhymers pass away...America justifies itself, give it time..."His most famous work is Leaves of Grass, which he continued to edit and revise until his death and is considered his most personal and political work. A group of Civil War poems, included within Leaves of Grass, is often published as an independent collection under the name of Drum-Taps.
