The purpose of my visual representation is to create an accurate representation of the narrator’s culture in a way that would appeal to an audience of future readers. Tim O’Brien, the narrator, belongs to a culture of people who have a deep understanding of war and how its stories should impact others. The narrator’s culture is heavily influenced by the time period that the text is written. Since the stories took place during the Vietnam war, the narrator’s culture and perception of war stories are centered on his experiences in Vietnam. The short story is structured as a personal narrative, because Tim O’Brien narrates a series of vignettes in first person. This is represented by using a mask because the audience can only experience the scene
