Trust is a very valuable thing is one’s life. Without trust‚ it is next to impossible to go through life. Graham Green happens to agree with this as she had once said‚ “… it is impossible o go through life without trust…” One can interpret this quote as trust being an essential aspect to life and in order to go through it‚ there must be someone or something a person can put his or her faith in.

Benjamin Disraeli once said‚ “Circumstances are beyond the control of man; but his conduct is in his own power” in Contarini Fleming‚ 1832.

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.

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.

In many situations the person seeking revenge not only hurts themselves but everyone amongst them.

In the novel The Things They Carried‚ author Tim O’Brien offers the “happy ending” described by Fay Weldon through his own “spiritual reassessment and moral reconciliation.” While the novel itself is not a series of happy memories or events‚ the telling of them allows the author to come to terms with the loss of his innocence and his own limitations.
