many Americans. Interest in the "Great Land" has
increased sharply since Alaska The Native became a

the time Alaska was discovered in 1741 by Vitus
Bering, Alaska Natives populated all parts of
Alaska including the Bering Strait Region.

Reflections on "The Things They Carried" Analyzing
the storys craftsmanship Tim OBrien wrote a story
that is known as "The Things They Carried. " It is
a carefully crafted, detailed account of a
Lieutenant and his men, the time period being
right in the middle of the Vietnam war. In most
war stories the author spends most of his or her
time describing actions and events to the reader,
trying to really put the reader "right there" in

fall silent, lighting a joint and tracking its
passage from man to man, inhaling, holding in the
humiliation. Scary stuff, one of them might say.
But then someone else would grin or flick his
eyebrows and say, Roger-dodger, almost cut me a
new asshole, almost. There were numerous such
poses. Some carried themselves with a sort of
wistful resignation, others with pride or stiff
soldierly discipline or good humor or macho zeal.
They were afraid of ...

Things They Carried York Times Book Review

The Things They Carried Tim OBrien wrote an
interesting story about soldiers of the Vietnam
War, called The Things They Carried. The main
theme of the story is the weight of the objects
that American soldiers had to carry on them during
their passes through the enemy territory. These
things included not only the armor and burdensome
objects but also their confusions, grief and heavy
emotions of desire. The central point of the story
groups around the death of Ted Lavender, who was

The Things They Carried by Tim OBrien: Adult in
Adolescence For the young men that fought in the
Vietnam War, seeing the death and chaos of intense
jungle warfare was more than they could handle.
Coming to grips with the actions they had to
carryout during this war was physiologically
challenging for all of them. Even after the war
was long done with, the veterans of the Vietnam
war were still suffering, but on another level.
Many war veterans had chosen to forget their days
of war and move on w...

Summary of Symbolism Presented by Vietnam/War In
reading Philip Caputo's book, A Rumor of War, I
discovered that he strongly presented a similar
idea to that of Tim OBrien in his book, The Things
They Carried. This is the idea that war can not
bring or cause good, it only produces varying
amounts of evil. Philip Caputo volunteered for the
Marines because he was looking for a way to prove
himself, and he saw the Marines as an honorable
way to do so. He also originally saw the war as
glorious. How...

John Hollander If a mythical starting point for
the pastoral music of outdoor sound might be
located in the Virgilian shepherds liquid
metronome, the more complex Romantic reading of
nature demands a different sort of account. One
poem by Robert Frost, harking back to Classical
pastoral in one way, more directly invoking the
biblical garden, may serve to illustrate this: [
This is an uncharacteristically mythopeic moment
for Frost. The myth is that of the imprinting of

Things They Carried Deal With Death

The Things They Carried was a story about soldiers
caught in the confusion of the Vietnam War. There
are a lot of apparent themes that are dealt with
when writing a story about war, especially about
death. I enjoyed reading this story, however there
were some things about it that I was concerned
about. I would like to discuss the authors style
of writing, his meaning of the title The Things
They Carried and the way the author and his
characters deal with death. This story was written
