primitive state of life. There are several stories
of how man came into existence, but there are

Kansas City Star Ernest Hemingway
1,576 words
Many of the titles of Ernest Hemingway's stories
are ironic, and can be read on a number of levels;
Soldiers Home is no exception. Our first
impression, having read the title only, is that
this story will be about a old soldier living out
the remainder of his life in an institution where
veterans go to die. We soon find out that the
story has nothing to do with the elderly, or
institutions; rather, it tells the story of a
young man, Harold Krebs, only recently returned
from World War I, who has ...
