Tension In Soldier's Home
The research topic I chose, is the struggle a soldier may endure when trying to conform back to society after being away at war. Ernest Hemingway enlisted in the military shortly after graduating from High School in 1918 and was severely wounded before coming back home. In the short story “Soldier’s Home” by Ernest Hemingway the character Krebs has enlisted in the military also. When Krebs arrived back home in the United States, he struggled with everyday life and trying to fit back into society. The focus of my research will be the strain that war can have on a soldier both mentally and physically.
