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

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
