What really shocked me at this point is that with all this weight the soldiers had to carry with them, they were expected to be very mobile and able to haul around everything for miles at a time. The only benefit I could possible see coming out of all the things they carried is the protection the backpack gave the soldiers from the spraying of bullets during battle. Other than that, the more the men carried, the more their moral went down under those conditions. I think that the author brilliantly described this story. It was almost like I felt my backpack getting heavier as I was reading on and the items kept increasing.

Tim O’Brien uses this description to introduce the characters and how each one starts from one po...
Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried storytelling mode allows his characters to empathize with the characters personalities and emotional burdens during the Vietnam War through the use of many elements of fiction including characterization, war settings, irony of situation, symbolism, and plot but most notably his technique of correlation between the weight of the stuff each soldier carried on them necessary for their survival in battle and the weight of the stuff they carried internally such as their doubts, fears, love and hopes. The story takes place in the late 1960s during the Vietnam War and the author begins the story by presenting the main character, Lieutenant Jimmy Cross, and provides insights of his feelings and thoughts by describing the tangible and intangible things he carries: letters and two pictures of a girl named Martha and his love or obsession for her. He also lists some of the personal items, delivering hints of his characters’ personalities to the readers and what these items meant to them. He writes how Henry Dobbins, “the big guy”, carries extra food supplies and his girlfriend’s pantyhose around his neck because he thought that it brought him good luck during battle.

In relation to my work, the rationing of clothes during the second world war influenced the fashion of the working-class women as it became harder to find materials to make outfits, which then bought on the problem of too little material. The women working in the factories wore simple clothings such as overalls for the mere fact that it was comfortable, cheap, quick and easy to wear. The women carried large appropriate handbags to keep tools, rationing books and their essentials.
Henry Dobbins is the guy who loves to eat so he made sure he took some extra food. Ted Lavender was the scaredy cat of the group so he carried tranquilizers with him. Dave Jense is the paranoid one, so he takes soap and a toothbrush to prevent germs and disease as best he can. Kiowa has a bible with him showing us he is the dedicated religious type. Mitchell Sanders, the funny one, has condoms with him. I'll let you decide on that one. Norman Bowker has a diary and Rat Kiley carried comic books, most likely as a way to "get away" from everything at the end of the day. Regardless of the personal items each one takes, they all share 2 items in common; their boots and their helmets. Almost all of them also have pictures with them but Jimmy Cross takes 2 very special ones. He has 2 pictures of the woman he loves, Martha. What these guys are truly carrying is some extreme emotional and physical troubles. Amongst his personal items Jimmy Cross also takes with him navigation tools. Rat Kiley has with him the medicine, surgical tape, painkillers, and other things that end up weighing alot. Ted Lavender is very scared, so he also has with him a large supply of ammunition. They all carry with them as much as they can. Weather it be for protection or entertainment, including fear and amazement of the thin...

The bench I sit on is green, painted over years of dents and names scratched in wood. My backpack sits to my left with its main zipper opened just wide enough for me to extract my notebook and pen. At my right is my suitcase. Its pockets are crammed full like the subway this morning, barely room left to breathe, creaking and comp...
