Soldiers Home

Three  juxtaposition that seem to be the main focus of this story are relationships, religion, and love. In Chapter 7, the solider talks about God (and for those of who you don't know is also Jesus) and this theme of God and preaching the word carries on into this story. In Chapter 7 he also talks about some girl and the main focus of this solider is having a girl and he really explained how he liked a specific girl. The last main theme that reoccurred in this story was the matter of love. Harry said he didn't love his mom, but then took it back and there was a whole scene dedicated simply to the relationship this mother had with her son. Overall the main juxtaposition was "love" and the different kinds of love and how people respond to being loved, being ignored, and devotion to love.
