Explanation and Analysis:

"Soldier's Home" is a fictional, Modernist short story. Hemingway's personal brand of Modernism revolves around his self-coined "Iceberg Theory," an imagism-inspired conception of writing where, much like an iceberg floating in the ocean, much of the work's meaning is hidden beneath the surface. Imagism is a 20th-century poetic movement that favored imagery, precision, and sharp language.
