Question

In Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country," how does the way in which the soldiers treat the narrator when they learn the truth about his medal contribute to the characterization of the narrator?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is "It emphasizes his desire to fit in with those around him. "

Step-by-step explanation:

As you read the excerpt of the narrator talking with the young soldiers, you learn he gained his medal "because he is American." Like the Italian soldiers, he has been to the front line only briefly when he received his injury, but the narrator does not believe his injury deserved him a medal; one soldier has a missing nose, but no medal at all. He feels he is not as worthy as the other soldiers, and feels though they respect him, they may not accept him completely, due to him being foreign and not having a serve reason for his medal.

Answer 2

It illustrates his anger about the war and the injuries he sustained.
