Journal Entry 2 The short story‚ “The Things They Carried”‚ by Tim O’brien‚ was my favorite reading of this week.

19 April 2011 The Reluctant Fundamentalist Journal Entries (Pages 1-50) After reading for a few pages‚ it seemed almost as if the main character of the book‚ Changez‚ implicates the reader (us) as the person who he is talking to‚ and I thought that was a unique aspect of this book‚ unlike many other books.
