"A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not" (Hemingway qtd. in Thinkexist) / Hemingway and Castro met only once at a fishing contest in Cuba. After awarding Hemingway the trophy for winning the contest Castro addressed Hemingway: “‘I am a novice at fishing,’ said Fidel. ‘You are a lucky novice,’ replied Ernest.” (Michaud para. 3)Works Cited (should be a separate page)
