Alone

Poor Norman Bowker. He returns home from war and all he finds is emptiness. There's no one to tell his stories to, no one who will listen. Especially, no one will understand. Everyone who was not at war has changed. Either they have moved on or they just do not care about what the war meant or accomplished or not. For these soldiers returning home, the war was all they knew. They had so much built up inside, bubbling up and wanting to be released. But no one would listen. No one would understand. In my opinion, the soldiers need a get away. They've been hoping for this day to come and now that it has, nothing has changed. (Except maybe the fear of enemy ambushes.) The affects of war will follow these men throughout their entire lives.
