Tim O’Brien’s Vietnam novel The Things They Carried was written in many respects to reflect real events and while we soon come to the realization that the actual event is in the end irrelevant‚ these events still provide a vital backdrop for the reader to initially absorb then realize that they don’t actually matter.
