Hemingway varies his style by using different types of narration. In Part 1, protagonist Harry Morgan's speaks in the first person, assuming a reader who is familiar with the Cuban waterfront and Gulf Stream. Part 2 is told in the third person omniscient by a neutral narrator. Dialog between Morgan and his ship mate, Wesley, fills much of these chapters, and in Part 3, the narrator twice enters a character's stream-of-consciousness to such an extent that the character takes over as de facto narrator.
