Which 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 american. 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."

"and these i address to all females that would be married, or are already so; not that i suppose their sex more faulty than the other, and most to want advice, for i assure [women], upon my honour, i believe the quite contrary; but the reason is, because i esteem them better disposed to receive and practice it, and therefore am willing to begin, where i may promise myself the best success." this statement from franklin's "rules and maxims for promoting matrimonial happiness" best demonstrates his use of criticism to argue his point his use of common sense to appeal to women his use of flattery to gain women's attention his use of facts to prove his point
