We can easily understand that artistic activities also produce externalities to all civilization

Truth and non-truth are several aspects emphasized in Tim O’Brien’s novel The Things They Carried. Throughout the novel‚ O’Brien “[blurs] the lines between fiction and nonfiction” (Smith)‚ and explores how using fiction to convey the war affects the readers more as they learn about the soldiers.
