Answer 1

First of all, before I give any help at all...  Reading the actual book is the best way for you to get these answers.  I know Hemingway tends to be a little on the droning boredom side, but if you put your mind to it I'm pretty sure you can slug through it without blowing your brains out or possibly having them ooze out your ears.

That said, there are lots of professional notes out there that can help you.  Here are some of my favorites:

Do yourself a favor and paraphrase in your own words to avoid being busted for plagiarism.  You can bet your butt that if it doesn't sound like you, your teacher will start to wonder whether you cheated or not.  And if you can find it on-line, your teacher can too, and you can get in serious trouble for it...  so at least put in a little effort.

Answer 2

I haven’t read A Farewell to Arms, so I can’t help with details, but there is good information at these sites that should help you put your answer together.
