Speaking of Courage: The Norman Bowker Story

Today, many of our veterans are returning from war and evacuating. In this chapter I will explain the Vietnam War soldier named Norman Bock who returned from war. Norman talks about courage in the book "They carry them" written by Tim O'Brien, and it feels that the world and everyone there is evacuating. On July 4, a soldier who came back from the Vietnam War drove his father, Chevrolet, to drive by the lake, but later he realized he could not go anywhere.

In the section entitled "Speaking of Courage", the story of two soldiers, Norman Bowker and Kiowa, best reflects this commoditization.

Toby Herzog says that the use of O'Brien's autobiographical metafiction for "what they hold" is a commentary on "the complex nature of truth, as it includes personal and historical trauma of Vietnam" I am thinking (135). There is no doubt that this is the fact: Hemingway is a typical modern postwar story, O'Brien is a typical post-war modern story.
