Post about the setting in Hemingway's "Soldier's Home".

The setting in Hemingway's "Soldier's Home", is in Oklahoma. It takes place in the summer of 1919. Most of the story takes place in the protagonist, Krebs's home, who was returned home from France and Germany from fighting in WWI. Krebs father is a relates business man for mostly farms and his mother is a house wife. The story allows its readers to know that Krebs doesn't want drama or excitement and that he spends time in the house a lot. Krebs loves to read books at the local library and he also likes shooting pool. His town is very small and not a lot of things happen there. The rest of the story explains how Krebs just wants to relax and be to himself because he has had too much excitement during WWI.
