Identify parallelism in the short story "In Another Country" by citing textual evidence. How does the use of parallelism affect the story

Stylistically, the story makes use of parallelism and repetition to emphasize the narration. For example, in the first paragraph, which sets the tone of the story using descriptions of the landscape and fauna of Milan, Hemingway states, “It was cold in the fall in Milan and the dark came very early.” He repeats this idea with a slightly different emphasis at the end of the paragraph: “It was a cold fall and the wind came down from the mountains.” In the second paragraph, too, he states “We were all at the hospital every afternoon,” and later on he repeats, “Beyond the old hospital were the new brick pavilions, and there we met every afternoon.” This technique not only highlights the ideas Hemingway wants to drive home to the reader, but also gives the narration a sort of cyclical, complete, and self-contained feeling as the same ideas are revisited with slightly different words.

Here are some examples from Hemingway’s "In Another Country" that demonstrate parallelism:

The hospital was very old and very beautiful.

In this first example, the word very before the word old and again before the word beautiful helps maintain the balance of the sentence.

The girls at the Cova were very patriotic, and I found that the most patriotic people in Italy were the café girls—and I believe they are still patriotic.

The word patriotism is repeated three times in this example. Patriotism is one of the important themes of the story.

The three with the medals were like hunting-hawks; and I was not a hawk, although I might seem a hawk to those who had never hunted.

Finally, the word hawk is repeated three times to emphasize how different the speaker was from the other boys. This repetition emphasizes the alienation that the speaker felt in Milan.
