    It is the book that doesn't fit into any category. A fiction book is all made up but the war happened and things that we read about did happen so it can’t be pure fiction. It reads most like a memoir of all things. The majority of the book is between him, his unit which acts like family and their stories about Vietnam. A memoir is a factual story but The Things They Carried, while not a factual story is based mostly on facts and it does read like a short novel. All the “chapters” read like their own individual short story but they link to each other allowing it to still be read like a novel or many small reports. The question is why would O'Brien choose to write the novel the way he…

    “Lost your Head Blues” was written and performed by Bessie smith, known as the “Empress of the Blues.” She lived from 1894-1937. The songs Smith sang along with her performances allowed her the opportunity to become popular in the 1920’s. While the songs she sang were revolved around her life, and not that of the community, many folks said that the stories were relatable to them. “Lost Your Head Blues” in particular was a sad love song that became a popular hit in the 1920’s, specifically 1926. Due to how the man was treating her with such disrespect, Smith sings about leaving the man she loves. Her music was considered to be classical blues based on the African American blues genre. Long before Smith’s time, this type of music with its sad and negative tone was already being played. For instance, “Flow My Tears” was written around the 1600’s which was during the Renaissance period. This was considered popular during Shakespeare’s time. It was produced by John Downland, who was a well-known English composer in Europe. He lived from 1563-1626. It was derived from a poem perhaps previously written by Downland. Downland is well-known for his pieces which represent sadness. In that, it portrays one’s happiness coming to an end—similarly to that of “Lost Your Head Blues.”…
