He counted his steps, concentrating on the numbers, pretending that the steps were dollar bills and that each step through the night made him richer and richer'' (74-76). We can infer from this that it's too painful for Paul to think about his fear so instead he occupies his time distracting himself…

and courageous characteristics that we were once capable of as children? Harold Krebs is a soldier still fighting in a war, but it is not being fought in a far- away place, it’s at home. Hemingway coveys the struggles of a soldier’s life returning to a normal life after fighting in a war in “Sodier’s Home”. In many ways Krebs could not adapt to his hometown and the people as well as the soldiers that arrived a year before him. This is something that many soldiers struggle with, conforming to…

Historian we learn that speaker includes herself within her opinion of how the world view the people of the military. She continues throughout to express her understanding of how the soldiers are viewed. “ Confess: it’s my profession/ that alarms you” (Atwood, 1-2), here the speaker understands that her profession is the reason she is not called upon, “this is why few people ask me to dinner/ though Lord knows I don’t go out of my way to be scary” (Atwood, 3-4).
