Question

Think about the doctor who treated the major and the speaker in the short story "In Another Country." Put yourself in the shoes of the doctor, and based on what you read in the story, write what you think his thoughts about the major and the speaker would be. Use the following vocabulary in your response and change the form of these words as needed:

- detached

- resign

- withered

Answer 1

Answer:

The machines come to symbolize the false hopes and promises of the modern age. The narrator's suspicion of these machines is conveyed in his descriptions of the major's case. While the machine works upon his injured hand, the major merely looks out the window. Like the narrator, he is detached. Nevertheless, as the code hero, he goes through the motions; he adheres to the form required of him despite meaninglessness.

Answer 2

"In Another Country"

• In the context of the short story "In Another Country," the doctor had a belief that the speaker, as well as, the major do not have faith in the alleviating ability of the machines.
• He feels that the machines are developed only for serving the purpose of restoring the soldiers' wounds and injuries that have detached them from their abilities.

The other approaches that could be provided in the answer may be:

• The patients who have been in the hospital, their detached and alienated condition, their perspective about the war.
• The examples of the major and the speaker's distrustful and pessimistic attitude towards the machines' ability to cure them.
• The vocabularies like 'resign' and 'withered' can be employed to denote the utter anguish and hopelessness of the patients struggling at the hospital including the major who believed that these injuries have no treatment.
