Setting
Explanation and Analysis:
The setting of "Soldier's Home" is Krebs's small, unnamed hometown in Oklahoma. The story takes place in the summer of 1919, after World War I has ended and after many of the soldiers who fought in the war have already returned home. The story prominently features Krebs's childhood home as well as the attached porch where he spends much of his time.
