Ernest Hemingway’s “soldier’s Home” is a story about a soldier who leaves to World War I as one man, and comes back another. The story talks about the changes a man goes through while at war and his failure to fit back into the society. Krebs returns home but he does not feel at home. When he is with his family, he feels as if he no longer belongs there. As much as Krebs believes in the truth, people around him force him to lie.

Eventually, Krebs chooses to isolate himself because he feels like an outcast and detaches himself from ambition, love, relations, and religion.

Home can be described in many meanings.

Yesterday night out of nowhere, my father, Mr. Frank, informed me and the rest of the family that we needed to urgently leave. I was shocked and confused. I could hear the firmness of his voice, so I refused to ask why. Before I packed the things I could hold, my father kissed me on my forehead and said, “We are going into hiding, so the Germans can’t bring us to concentration camps. Those camps are where the torture us, make us do work, and where our dead bodies will be located.” A deep cold chill ran down my spine and I shriveled and started to pack.

What is home? If one looks in a dictionary the answer would come out to be, “The place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household.” However, for anyone who has had an actual home, they would know that such a term goes much beyond its concrete description.
