Which twO 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 Armerican.
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.

the words "strangest" and "unusual" suggest (:

idk

explanation:

figurative language is a resource that fiction writers use to make better descriptions of what they want to write about or express. they can improve their stories, as they can elaborate more vivid and colorful sentences. this way, the reader will be able to have more detailed images in his/her mind.

places, objects, people and even feelings or emotions can be described with a lot of detail to metaphors, similes and personifications. making different kinds of comparisons to make a description more specific, as well as assigning human qualities to non-human objects (and vice-versa) can be very useful for science fiction writers.  

on the other hand, alliterations allow writers to elaborate more entertaining and creative sentences. it consists in using a sequence of words that start with the same consonant letter. they can be used to emphasize something important the writer wants to express, or just as a fun literary device.
