THE THINGS THEY CARRIED
Tim O'Brien
The Things They Carried, this book is about the Vietnam war and how soldiers lasted through it with the possessions they had. The book starts with how these guys carried certain items with them to cope with the war. Some brought love letters, others brought pictures. They all had one thing in common though, they all wanted to leave. Now throughout the book it talks about on a lot of the obstacles the soldiers went through! Shootings, supplies, and past loves.
The title is literal, it's kind of like a quote. They all brought something for luck, or love. The book is focused on a certain platoon of soldiers, but all of them carrying ammunition, to kill. They're like a dis-functional family with a lot of problems! Some how though, it's always worked out.
The book doesn't necessarily have a climax, it's all just hell they go through. Some worse then others.

I like how you used detail from the story, and how you warned the reader
ReplyDeleteawesome book review
ReplyDeleteI like all the detail you used, and the warning was great.
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what it was for them. Could've used a bit more detail, like talk about one of the platoon members?
ReplyDeleteI liked all the great detail you used in this review. I do agree with Mrs. Fisher that it needed a little more detail in some parts but other than that great job!
