Read the excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's "Soldier's Home." Nothing was changed in the town except that the young girls had grown up. They all wore sweaters and shirt waists with round Dutch collars. It was a pattern. He liked to look at them from the front porch as they walked on the other side of the street. He liked to watch them walking under the shade of the trees. He liked the round Dutch collars above their sweaters. He liked their silk stockings and flat shoes. He liked their bobbed hair and the way they walked. The author's short, descriptive sentences reflect Krebs's thought process and his feelings about the girls. illustrate the anger that Krebs feels toward the people in his town. express the shame that Krebs feels for lying to the girls. demonstrate Krebs's hopes and dreams for the future.
