Upon my arrival I stood eagerly in line awaiting my turn. The excitement flooding my body, people all around me, and cheerful music ringing in my ear.

the imagination of a man of the platoon named Paul Berlin. In Going After Cacciato the “tea party,” between the AWOL platoon and Li Van Hgoc contributes greatly to the novel by adding to the confusion and teaching the reader how to deal with the war and the ’noise.’ The first thing that this “tea party” does is that it introduces the reader to Li Van Hgoc.
