How does the major’s behavior represent the modernist writer’s take on life?

An important theme of modernism was disillusionment. Most modernist writers felt disillusioned in postwar America because of the destruction and devastating loss of human life. Ernest Hemingway represented this theme of disillusionment in his short story "In Another Country" through the character of the army major. The major’s character painted a bleak, disillusioned picture of war, through which there was no positive outcome, no matter what side won or lost. War represented loss to the major, and not even the technological advancements that helped heal serious wounds could convince the major otherwise.

sentences vary by structure as well as by function. there are compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

simple sentence

i like to read.

a simple sentence has one independent clause.

compound sentence

i like to read, and i also like to write.

a compound sentence includes more than one independent clause, connected by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet).

complex sentence

i prefer to read books that are bestsellers.

a complex sentence includes one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. (a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone.) types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (i kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (i am going home now because i have a curfew), and noun clauses (i don't know what to do next).

compound-complex sentence

although i prefer to read current bestsellers, i do like to read old agatha christie mysteries, and i also like some 20th-century science fiction.

compound-complex sentences take a bunch of clauses (multiple independent clauses, and one or more dependent clauses) and toss them together like a salad. although these sentences take practice to write in a grammatically correct fashion, they can hold a tremendous amount of meaning, and are common in academic writing.
