This short story by Ernest Hemmingway is a recommended addition to the magazine because it successfully addresses issues with attempting to re-enter into one’s old life. This work focuses particularly on a Soldier who struggles to cope with life after returning from traumatic war experiences. Krebs struggles to reintegrate into a complex society. This work is an effective commentary on the issue of reintegration. Additionally, Hemmingway satirizes societal actions when Krebs’ parents decide to finally let him drive. Krebs volunteered and was in a war on another continent but his parents are still reluctant to let him drive. Ultimately, this work provides an interesting commentary on societal issues and should be included in the publication.
