Tim O Brien Literary Analysis
91472
The book is called the things they carried by Tim O'brien which is both the author and main character therefore it is autobiographical. Obrien represents a theme before and after war by using symbolism when discussing the setting. After war, continued seeing things similar to what he had experienced in vietnam. "Normam drove the 9 mile tar road around the lake then started again. "this statement demonstrates how the lake was symbolic of vietnam, and it had no meaning hence he continued to repeat. "the truth is war has no moral its like the cloth that makes the thread."As the thread makes cloth and not vice versa, I believe he is saying war has meaning. O'brien uses personification in order to describe the setting. "She became something
forighn, she became vietnam" This quote describes the war itself how soliders changed. Likewise metaphors are use describing the setting. In war death is common, O'brien describes the dead as though it were not a dead body. "one eye was shut the other was shape like a star" thus the setting help to develop O'briens own experience though the use of symbolism in discussing the setting. O'brien has converyed his own ideas about war. O'brien has demonstrated the key idea of war. I feel O'brien has portrayed how war affects people in describing the setting.
