Answer 1

1. "In the fall the war was always there, but we did not go to it any more."

This quote demonstrates Hemingway's distinctive declarative style, where short, blunt sentences convey the harsh reality of war without much embellishment.

2. "I did not know how badly I was hit. I felt rotten."

Here, Hemingway's use of simple, direct language effectively conveys the protagonist's physical and emotional pain without sentimentality or melodrama.

3. "But when I had been in Milan for a week I found I was awake at night worrying about the times I had smacked Blondin."

This quote showcases Hemingway's use of internal monologue to reveal the character's inner thoughts and struggles, adding depth and complexity to the narrative.
