Tim O'Brian's How to Tell a True War Story of the Things They Carried

Tim O'Brien's short story 'Lover of Song', Mary Anne Bell is a rare example of losing innocence. Wearing a beautiful sweater, perfect trousers and freaky attitude, everyone can not look more perfect. She is a real young American teenager, or at least this is what they initially assumed. At the beginning of the story, she is clear to both soldiers and readers: she should be an ordinary American girl, she just wants a family.

When I first read Tim O'Brien's "What They Brought", I learned about this idea. The story of this book is marked as a story of war, but this is only superficial. This story is about people who experienced the hardest period of their life, wanted to survive and talk about it but was unable to convey emotions effectively. Exaggerate his story, build up new facts, and connect figurines and analogs through the cycle of facts. He lied, as noticing that the facts are not important, and that the emotional influence is indeed the truth. Tim O'Brien said what he needs to say so that the reader can feel that sense when seeing something in the book. He called it a "story - truth."

Tim O'Brien's short story "What they are carrying" is an explanation of military equipment carried by soldiers during the Vietnam War. O'Brian provides detailed information on each device, such as purpose and time of use of each product. The story communicates the story of a male platoon led by lieutenant Jimmy Cross to clarify the tasks soldiers face and the equipment they use. In the climax of the story, Cross' s man, Ted Lavender was alone in the woods and hit in the head (in violation of the standard order). Then the cross faced the feeling of groaning, probably the death of lavender was his own fault. This shows lessons from the story; from time to time, we are responsible for what happens even if we can not stop it.

In 1987, Tim O'Brien announced a wonderful and powerful short story to "Mr. Fashion", "How to view the story of real war". In "How to talk about real warfare" O'Brien mixes innovative techniques for discussing memoirs, literary critiques, and ways to convey the grotesque atmosphere of the Vietnam War. In the early days of the story, O'Brien 's talker stated that the true war stories are by no means moral. It neither teaches nor encourages virtues nor does it suggest an appropriate model of human behavior nor does it restrict what people do the usual things. If the story looks ethical, do not believe it. . . . You can tell the true story of war through absolute and uncompromising loyalty to obscenity and evil.
