Summary Of Soldier's Home Hemingway

254 Words2 Pages
In Ernest Hemingway’s “Soldier’s Home” (1925), Hemingway begins his short story with a series of phrases that immediately take the glory out of this soldiers trip to war. He right off the bat wants to make it known that this will not be a story about how wonderful and heroic this experience was for the character. He begins by saying, “Krebs and the corporal look too big for their uniforms. The German girls are not beautiful. The Rhine does not show in the picture.” (Hemingway, pg. 1) The reader now knows that nothing about this picture was glorified. Often was is thought of something that is this heroic feat, and be that as it may, the experience itself is extremely difficult, it’s not pretty, and absolutely nothing about it is grandeur.
