Hemingway expresses his thoughts on war and its impact from the point of view of “The Lost Generation”. He expresses the message that the war was destructive and many people (i.e. those who are a part of The Lost Generation) deeply felt the losses caused by the war. He expresses the impact of the physical losses as well as peoples loss of faith in humanity after World War I. He also discusses the fact that the war led to many people losing their “moral bearings” after witnessing so much loss and annihilation. In “In Another Country”, Hemingway uses the narrator’s matter-of-fact and bleak tone to convey his thoughts on the war. He also uses visceral imagery and adjectives like cold, dark, heavy, and stiff to help create the appropriate tone and establish a bleak setting to express his thoughts.
