Tricky Slippy Lippy Authors...Hemingway making ordinary extraordinary!

I honestly don't know why I used that title. I'm hoping the inspiration will suddenly reveal itself to me as I continue this sentence....
Nope. Kay, moving on.
My favorite author has always been Hemingway. Why? Because he is DIRECT. His short, choppy, basic diction conveys more meaning to me than the flowery poetry of other accredited writers in a faster amount of time. The time I save in reading allows me to direct the excess at understanding and applying his messages in a personal, unique fashion that I can't quite experience with any other author.
 I also like his writing because it is so different from my own.
 I am constantly surprised at what he will do and how he will do it. Take "A Clean, Well-lighted Place." The story begins with two basic, run-on sentences that I would never dream acceptable, even at a high-school level. But yet the sentence,"In the day time the street was dusty, but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference" makes me feel the difference too. I ask myself how.
In all honesty, the answer is because the way I would think something unedited in my head. Even though "the difference" is never fully explained, I don't need it. That difference I almost couldn't quite verbalize because it is so internal....But I want to try. The difference is..
                  Quiet, settled, no dust- no cares, no one to impress, no one to take pity on his condition, nothing but the cool freshness of an old day almost finished.
Wow, that felt cool. Maybe that's how he writes. Just basic thought patterns based solely on impressions and feelings associated with every day situations. I think when most people read, they prepare their minds to be taken to a "fantasy." Not necessary a fictional place, but more of a state of being "elsewhere," whether that involves seeing something new, understanding something differently, or being informed of something unknown.
Not with Hemingway. He takes basic, ordinary occurrences and simply jars thoughts you already have- the ones you sort of ignore because they're "unimportant," and brings them back to the forefront of your mind.
