Hemingway short stories are masterpieces of modern literature. His stories usually focus on themes such as war, love, and loss. For instance, in 'A Clean, Well - Lighted Place', the old man in the café represents the loneliness and the search for meaning after experiencing war and life's hardships. Hemingway's ability to convey complex emotions through simple actions and sparse dialogue is truly amazing. His short stories have influenced countless writers, and their exploration of the human psyche remains relevant today.

Well, for a YA short story contest, common requirements include a word count range, like 3,000 to 8,000 words. Also, the story might need to fit within a given genre or topic. And often, there are rules about originality and submission format.

First, have a clear understanding of the contest theme. Then, do extensive research if needed. Polish your writing, check for grammar errors, and make the story emotionally resonant with readers.

The short story 'The Killers' by Hemingway is a masterpiece of brevity and tension. The way Hemingway describes the setting, a simple diner, becomes a stage for the impending doom. The dialogue between the killers is filled with a matter - of - fact brutality. It also has an underlying sense of the randomness of violence. For example, Andreson seems to be a target for no clear reason other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time perhaps. This story shows Hemingway's ability to convey complex emotions and situations with minimal words.

I think 'Hills Like White Elephants' is a good start. It's a very short story but full of subtext. The conversation between the man and the girl at the train station is deceptively simple, yet it implies so much about their relationship and a difficult decision they might be facing, which is a great example of Hemingway's iceberg theory.
