I think its b more complicated
The excerpt that shows the low self-esteem of the
soldiers and their belief that being a soldier has nothing to do with bravery
from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country," is the sentence “ 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; they, the three, knew better
and so we drifted apart.”
I think it would be the conflict.
Lane used a text to world connection! pollution in the great barrier reef is a real world issue that he was able to compare to the text. hope this helps:)
