The character I have chosen is Lt. Jimmy Cross from the story “The Things They Carried.” Jimmy Cross is the leader of Alpha Company in the war of Vietnam‚ although he seems like he is not part of it. “He had difficulty keeping his attention on the war […] but then he would slip away into day dreams‚ just pretending‚ walking barefoot along the Jersey Shore” (p.279).
