Read the excerpt from Ernest Hemingway’s “Soldier's Home.” In the evening he practiced on his clarinet, strolled down town, read
and went to bed. He was still a hero to his two young sisters. His mother would have given him breakfast in bed if he had wanted it. She often came in when he was in bed and asked him to tell her about the war, but her attention always wandered. What important detail about Krebs’s sisters and mother is revealed?
The above passage shows that no matter what the rest of the people in the town may think, his family especially his mother and sisters, will always have his back and will always be proud of him.
Explanation:
After the war, Krebs returned much later than the other soldiers. Due to this, he was no longer regarded as a hero. But, he still remains a hero in the eyes of his mother and sisters. To them, he is the same with the other soldiers who had returned earlier than him. And nothing that the other people may think of will/can change their image of him.
