The Things they Carried: Jessica Dees

The things they carried were beyond an interesting book. What caught me off guard though was that it wasn’t anything like an ordinary book. Instead of having one big story there was many different short stories put together in no particular order. I never really knew when Tim O’Brian was telling a true story or not or if the people were real. I loved hearing about his characters like Rat Kiley and Norman Bowker, until most of them died. In some parts of the book it was very graphic which really made me realize how the war was very unforgiving. But to me it is the most interesting topic to learn about.
