Which sentences in this excerpt from ernest hemingway's \"in another country\" show that medals and awards in war don’t always bring soldiers glory and acceptance? "the boys at first were very polite about my medals and asked me what i had done to get them. i showed them the papers, which were written in very beautiful language and full of fratellanza and abnegazione , but which really said, with the adjectives removed, that i had been given the medals because i was an american. after that their manner changed a little toward me, although i was their friend against outsiders. i was a friend, but i was never really one of them after they had read the citations, because it had been different with them and they had done very different things to get their medals. i had been wounded, it was true; but we all knew that being wounded, after all, was really an accident."
