Reflection on Hemingway’s “In Another Country” [pic]While reading Ernest Hemingway’s “In Another Country‚” I was impressed with the unique viewpoint taken in the story.

This is done in a double entendre sort of way‚ symbolizing a negative connotation in the first stanza and weaving its way into a positive meaning in the last. In the first part of the poem‚ skin is utilized for its description of being the exterior
