At The Star, Hemingway also found a mentor in Lionel Calhoun Moise.He learned at The Star that professional reporters stated the way things are using short, vigorous English, rather than long rambling sentences.So his first training in writing was reporting stolen goods and crime, accidents and any famous people who might have passed through the Union Station. This meant he had to write about everything that went on in the Police Station, the train station and the hospital.Ernest's job on the Star was to cover the 'short-stop run,' which entailed the 15th Street Police Station, the Union Station and the General Hospital.Instead, Ernest applied for a job as a journalist at the Kansas City Star. His father forbade him to join up for the First World War.After he graduated from high school, Hemingway wanted to join the forces and learn to write.Grace Hall Hemingway dressed Ernest like a girl for the first two years of his life. He learned to box and it was said there was a streak of bully in his nature.He wrote articles for the school's weekly newspaper.
Academically he was good at English but not interested in most other subjects.
He made up stories in which he was invariably the swashbuckling hero.
