Ernest Hemingway, “Soldier’s Home” (1925) Thematic Analysis

Literature uses language creatively to share the human experience and relationship with the environment supporting the effective presentation of literature’s role in human experience. Literature effectively uses characters to depict individual, society, and community issues, resonating with real-world human experience and performance. For example, in Ernest Hemingway’s “Soldier’s Home” (1925), the author uses Krebs’s experience and relationship with others after the war to depict fundamental human experience. In essence, the author uses the character to represent fundamental thematic concerns, including post-war and traumatic experiences, expression language, men’s and women’s relationships in society, lies, and society.

A motif of lying recurs in the shot society, presenting a notable presence in society and lies. The theme of lying appears several times throughout “Soldier’s Home,” which plays an essential role in the plot. While there are many indicators that the trauma of war has dramatically impacted Krebs and that his detachment, disaffection, and loss of a sense of self upon returning home stems from PTSD, the story more explicitly locates Krebs’ issues as stemming from the fact that, upon returning home, to be listened to about all of his experiences in the war, he had to lie, and after he had twice, he had a reaction against the war and against talking about it too. While it may appear extreme to attribute such a loss of self to some essentially white lies, it is all the more reason to do so. Thus, lying and society are at the Centre of the short story’s thematic presentation and articulation.

War and trauma are aspects of society that present personal, group, and community impacts. Similarly, “Soldier’s Home” by Ernest Hemingway tells the story of a young soldier named Krebs who returns home after World War I. Though Hemingway does not explicitly narrate Krebs’ emotions, the story’s hard-boiled prose reflects Krebs’ suppressed psyche: after the war, Krebs sleeps late, has little energy to talk to anyone, and wanders around his hometown. This disconnects between Krebs, and the people around him—his family, other soldiers, and the girls he watches from his porch—provides a critical window into how soldiers adjust, or fail to adjust, to life after war’s traumatic experiences. In describing Krebs and his difficulties, the story implies that those struggles are a source of trauma as profound as any caused by the war. Therefore, war and traumatic experiences are central to the short story, presenting human actions and experiences.

Relationship between men and women is another critical aspect of human interaction and experience, depicting fundamental social collaboration and association. Consequently, He

Rough Draft Guidelines

Writing a first draft can be overwhelming. A common feeling is that you are juggling all
your ideas without clearly knowing where to start. Use these guidelines to help the
drafting process go more smoothly. First, read through the instructor feedback on your
outline and make notes as to what elements need to be altered in your writing plan.
Next, think of each section of the paper – the introduction, body and conclusion

– as distinct parts that have different purposes.

Introduction – 1-2 paragraphs
The introduction should be 1-2 paragraphs long, and its purpose is to introduce your readers to the topic of
your paper. Remember, the topic is not only the text that you analyzed; it is also the literary element(s) that
you will be discussing throughout the paper. Note: The thesis and forecasting statements should appear
somewhere in the introduction, usually at the end.

Body – several pages

Body paragraph model: all body paragraphs should follow this model

1. Topic sentence: Introduce the first point listed in the thesis that
will prove the validity of your central idea.

2. Supporting details: Discuss the paragraph topic by weaving your interpretations and specific
textual evidence together. You may quote, describe, summarize or paraphrase parts of the
story that will develop your idea.

3. Concluding sentence: Use your own words to bring closure to the paragraph and signal the
reader that you are moving on to your next point or sub-point.

As you write each body paragraph, remember the following:
*Assume that your audience has read the story but not analyzed it deeply as you have. Do not
retell the story; rather, cite specific detail from the story to support your ideas.

*Explain for your readers how the textual evidence you cite relates to your thesis: do not

merely cite detail from the story without connecting it to your ideas.

*Use a parenthetical reference with a page number after every sentence containing a reference
from the story, whether directly quoted, summarized, or paraphrased.

*One main point might need several body paragraphs to fully develop it.

Conclusion – 1 paragraph
The purpose of the conclusion is to bring closure to your essay by reasserting your central idea (thesis) and by
summarizing the main points of the paper. The last sentence of the conclusion, and the essay itself, should be
somewhat profound or ultimately conclusive because it’s your last chance to
convince the reader that your central idea is valid. Note: you can use a quote
from the story to end the paper if that feels appropriate.
