"The Things They Carried," by Tim O'Brien at first seemed to be just another war story. As I
started reading I thought I was not going to have any interest at all in the story; however after I got
into the story I found myself more interested than I thought I was going to be. This story is an
excellent depiction 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 the entire story, it could not be any better for
the story then it is. The entire story is about "the things they carried," and the author does choose to
go into great detail about the things that they did carry. While I was reading the story one question
that kept running through my mind was in regard to the depth of information about the physical
weights of the soldiers' items. Why would O'Brien go into this much depth about how much every
individual item weighs?
