In The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien, the reader learns about Vietnam and the harsh conditions soldiers faced. Although one would expect an autobiographical narrative to be linear, The Things They Carried does not follow any single chronological path and as such reads more like a book of short stories. This book features many semi autobiographical stories about the author and the many soldiers of the Alpha Company. You read about death, disease, injury, lost love and many other horrors that changed soldier’s lives forever. In this you see how Timmy is lost and Tim is left in his place which is a truth for many of the soldiers in Alpha Company and for many soldiers of Vietnam. Displayed below are the two movie pilots made by our team for this book.
