Spring Book Review In The Things They Carried‚ Tim O’Brien tells the tale of not about war‚ but rather about war’s effect on one’s mentality. Ultimately‚ this novel is built on a foundation of the items that the soldiers of the Vietnam War carried. Whether it was the way Jimmy Cross uses the pebble to escape from his duties as a soldier or when Norman Bowker realizes that courage comes form within‚ not from receiving a Silver Star; O’Brien uses baggage as a symbol throughout the book to teach

In Generation Me‚ by Jean Twenge‚ the attacks on the generations’ ways of life and standards for living are far-fetched‚ in my opinion. Twenge remarks on how generation me is self-absorbed‚ politically uninvolved‚ too direct and to the point‚ against tradition‚ and all about personal happiness. These things have little to do with major problems such as global warming or the oil crisis‚ and are more about Twenge’s own personal pet peeves. Yes‚ we want to be happy‚ but who doesn’t? Doing well by ourselves

In each and every one of us there lives a child who knows how to be happy because of certain things without others to find out....we like to say that we are mature enough‚ that we passed the age when a toy meant the world for us... we hide our crazy little pleasures‚ we are brave‚ we are now grownups with responsibilities who see the world with different eyes.... Actually... we are all a bunch of lost kids who sometimes stop and stare‚ don’t know where they are heading. We all get into certain situations

The Things They Carried Report “The Things They Carried” was a story about soldiers caught in the confusion of the Vietnam War. There are a lot of apparent themes that are dealt with when writing a story about war‚ especially about death. I enjoyed reading this story; however there were some things about it that I was concerned about. I would like to discuss the author’s style of writing‚ his meaning of the title “The Things They Carried” and the way the author and his characters deal with death

He would be different in some ways. However his age could possibly affect his health and he could also be fragile to stand up on his feet.
