Book Review: The Things They Carried
Summary: 4 Stars
In The Things They Carried, Tim O'Brien recalls his past experiences as a young and innocent soilder. O'Brien also expresses themes if of personal and physical burdens as well as the the theme of isolation.
"They carried the soldier's greatest fear, which was the fear of blushing. Men killed, and died, because they were embarrassed not to. It was what had brought them to the war in the first place, nothing positive, no dreams of glory or honor, just to avoid the blush of dishonor. They died so as not to die of embarrassment." This is one of O'Briens most striking quatations in the novel.
If you want to hear a good war story, I would highly recomend Tim O'Brien's books. They are beautifull written and are availible for everyone to enjoy.
