In Another Country ANALYSIS Though its narrator is never named‚ “In Another Country” is widely accepted as one of Hemingway’s series of stories featuring Nick Adams‚ an autobiographical character‚ as the protagonist. It was based on Hemingway’s own experiences recuperating in a Milanese hospital after being wounded in World War I. Though the story begins with Nick’s announcement that he and his fellow wounded soldiers are out of the war and recuperating at a military hospital‚ it becomes clear

Hamlet states ‘I will speak daggers to’ Gertrude. To what extent do you agree that Hamlet’s words are stronger than his actions? As the protagonist of a Shakespearean tragedy Hamlet has to avenge his father’s ‘cold’ murder. Evidently this is not a role he fully embraces in the opening acts of the play and this is arguably his “tragic flaw” - Aristotle; inability to take physical action as a result of deep thought. As a Renaissance man this is perhaps no surprise as such men were educated in

sci-fi monster movie “The Thing From another world” directed by Christian Nyby. Which itself was based on the short story “Who Goes There” by John W. Campbell Jr. “The Thing” is indeed a product of its time‚ the 80’s. While the 51’ movie was more akin to films like “Frankenstein” the one I’ll be talking about is really in a class all its own. And by that‚ I mean that its good! The mood and atmosphere‚ and of course the special effect by Roy Arbogast and crew are truly in a class all their own. Now

Words Hurt More Than Actions No person should be allowed to verbally harass another. It is wrong to bully someone and say they did it because of their strong moral or religious belief. If they have something to tell another person it should be something their doing wrong‚ like if they stole something‚ and not because of how the person is (sexual orientation‚ religion‚ etc.). Michigan should not of have passed this bill because verbal abuse is worse than physical abuse. The state is practically

“The narrator of “ In another country” is disillusioned and cynical‚ having a difficult time retaining his sanity”‚ argues critic Nagel. In the story‚ the narrator‚ Nick Adams‚ is cynical about the machines which are used to rehabilitate his wounded extremity‚ and about the of Italian bravery and heroism. At the first paragraph‚ the narrator opened: “In the fall‚ the war was always there but we didn’t go to it anymore. It was cold in Milan‚ and the dark came very early”. Though the tone of the

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. Not only is the point of view of a soldier‚ it is also a perspective of a man who is out of place even with men of his own kind who have been wounded just as the narrator had been. The idea that the narrator really has no one whom he can truly relate to emphasizes the rather gloomy mood of the story: “I was a friend‚ but I was never

I usually have a strong opinion about things‚ but I’m not one to usually voice them for all to hear either. There have definitely been times where I kick myself for not speaking up or taking a stand but I’d rather regret the few times I didn’t say anything then having to back up my opinions with actions. Actions can send
