  • Emotions In The Things They Carried By Tim O Brien

    1580 Words  | 7 Pages

    Emotions are a part of human nature, no matter what position you hold, however the situation in which soldiers are placed into is vastly different. Although it is expected that they put on a toughened facade, naturally fear will still attempt to creep and take over. O’Brien uses the physical items to symbolize the intangible emotional baggage that is carried with the men at war. For example, Lavender, who has fear instilled in him and does no job in hiding it, carries tranquilizers and extra protection. Other soldiers, like Cross, have items which bring them comfort in knowing that war will not last forever.

To them, every piece of their equipment had meaning; from the ammunition to the M&M’s (O’Brien, 607), whether it was for the benefit of them succeeding in the Vietnam War or a distraction from it, everything held value.
