Any specific hemmingway novel? I've only read Old Man and the fish
My personal favourite is A Farewell To Arms. But I think you can see emough of his writing from Old Man and the Sea. The way his sentence lengths are very deliberately varied, his carefulness about how much or how little description detail to give. Stuff like that. Grab any two sections of the same work that have different feels - mood, pace, etc - and you can see how his writing style differs between them to help convey that difference.
