For my personal response to Soldier’s Home <\/em>by Ernest Hemingway <\/em>I would like to start with his distaste for the war starting in (I17). I feel this sentiment of relation to when Krebbs started to feel distaste for his experience in the war, He started feeling distaste when he compared what he was lying to his bad experience in war, he started to compare and devalue himself on what better things he could’ve done while in war, and for some reason I can feel what he felt in that moment. I can also really relate to those feelings and behaviors when you’re stuck comparing events that you stop being able to live. Krebbs basically gave up on life because he was so stuck on past events(l.35) …”eating lunch at home, reading on the front porch until he became bored and then…”<\/p>\n

I feel like I was able to read between the lines and realize that Krebbs felt detached because he noticed that with his parents, when none of them had the right personality to listen to his war stories. I also believe that he felt unseen by his parents. While his parent’s were forcibly trying to get him to move on, he was just so stuck on the war and nobody really saw that. Because Krebbs felt no emotions. I feel like he started to get irritated at his parents behavior especially when his mother wanted to pray with him or when his parent’s made life advancements without actually noticing him and what he wanted.<\/p>\n

Something I quite still can’t grasp is why Krebbs randomly got this surge of energy to go back to a conformist state and get a job. Why did he want to forget his parent’s and not end up in a working environment that reminded him of that? Why was he so disconnected from life and finally got some kind of “clarity” that he wanted to start his life somewhere far from his parent’s. Was it because he felt sorry for his mother(l.205)? But why did he felt a need to make his mother proud while far away from her? I would like to get some clarity on that.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, Krebbs feels deeply disconnected from reality and is stuck on his experience on the war that is not “good enough” for people to want to hear about. Krebbs starts developing disconnected behavior towards his parents and also starts to develop a sense of resent towards them. A random day like any day he had the past few months. He decided, after a lot of intimation from both his parents that he was in fact going to start a job but very far away from home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
