In several stories from The Things They Carried‚ by Tim O’Brien deals with the way that American soldiers of the Vietnam War related to being "in country‚" or out of their own country and halfway across the world. O’Brien creates the concept that Vietnam‚ and the war there‚ is of "another world" throughout his stories.

Phil Costner English – Rough Draft In the novel‚ The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien‚ he vividly depicts the situations of war-life in Vietnam using very interesting characters.

This quote clearly shows that he was living in a parallel world between the war that he was living at that moment and his obsessed love
