The chapter “Love” in the book “The Things They Carried”, is broken up into two parts. It first begins the chapter out with talking about who is Jimmy cross as a person. Next, the author goes back into discussion about “Martha” a name and story we've seen first chapter. By breaking the story up into two parts, the author wants to keep a focus on the main character but also wants to keep this idea of importance of Martha alive and in reader's mind. The author does this by using Bildungsroman, and different ideas of tone.
Although the chapter is strange to read at first due to shift in geography, time and third person omniscient from first person, the author focuses on the idea of Jimmy cross by using hints of Bildungsroman strategy. Bildungsroman
