A Soldier's Home

"But the world they were in was not the world he was in." Like most soldier stories I've heard they all come home a different person. The community that he came home to has changed in his eyes and he views everything differently. Other soldiers have moved on but the soldier has greatly been affected by the war. He now wants to lead a simple life. But the conflict with his mother keeps him from that. She wants him to move on, get a wife and a job. He wants a life were he doesn't have to worry about everything. His incapability of moving on has lead him into a life of lonliness and misery. He now spends his time looking at maps and atlases trying to make sense of where he was during the war. His soul has been stripped during the war and he just wants to find answers about his expierence about at war. Posted by Christina Santamaria on 2/4/04; 2:39:59 PM from the dept. Discuss
