    Personal Response "The Things They Carried‚" by Tim O’Brien. At first it seemed to be just another war story.

This story is an excellent representation of war itself. It is very realistic and easy to relate to even without any personal experience with war. The title itself paves the way for

An example would be “Dave Jensen carried three pairs of socks and a can of Dr.Scholl’s foot powder as a precaution for trench foot.” (O’Brien pg.1) Jensen carried these things so you could be very clean and
