“In Another Country”
1. What is the significance of the story’s title?
Everyone is dealing with suffering, which makes it seems like foreign territory. They feel isolated and different, which makes them feel like outsiders.
2. Which character do you think best represents the “Hemingway hero”? Why?
The major represents the Hemingway hero. He has stoicism and is indifferent to his suffering. Even though he has suffered, he gets back up with integrity.
3. What can you infer about the photographs the doctor hangs up? What is the significance of the major’s reaction?
The photographs are supposed to represent the healing of wounds through the machines. The major’s reaction shows that not all wounds can be healed through machines and technology.
