“A Soldiers Home” is about a young man who comes back from WWI later than the other soldiers and he is very upset that he did not get a parade like all the others. He feels unappreciated and unwanted. The war has made him lose all feelings for his family and every other thing so he secludes himself.

“Another Country” is, again, about a soldier but he is still signed up in the Italian army. He gets injured on the front lines almost immediately after going to fight. He now is in a hospital where he is using “machines” to make his leg better so he can play football once again. He does have a couple of friends, who are also injured, and they all have medals, but he feels he doesn’t deserve his.

Both of the stories deal with WWI in almost the same manners. Both of the stories show the consequences of the war a

The relationships are also very assorted. Krebs had no relationships at all, not even with himself, because that is all he had and he got pissed at people because he thought he deserved a parade like all the others. The Second Story shows that you can have a relationship with people after the war; he has buddies that are just like him, they all got wounded and are in the same army.

Nevertheless, the stories show that the outcomes of the war are quite different from person to person. “Another Country” shows the physical outcomes from the war in how his leg got wounded. Yet, in “Soldiers Home” it shows the mental aspect of the outcomes in how Krebs just wants to be left alone and how he has lost all feelings.

Hemmingway uses lies a lot in his stories to poison every aspect of an experience. In the two stories we have read they are used to make people feel better and get their hopes up. In “Another Country” he uses them coming from the doctor to the patient saying everything will be better, even though he knows it won’t. “A Soldiers Home” uses lies coming from Krebs to his mother telling her he loves her after saying he didn’t.
