Their bodies will never return to their home and family to have a proper funeral and commemoration they truly deserve as honourable soldiers who fought and died for their nation’s cause.

    While reading The Things They Carried, I had a lot of comments to make about the style of writing, the stories O’Brien chose to recreate, and his meaning behind the writing. I have never read a book similar to The Things They Carried, and I doubt I ever will. O’Brien is unique in the way he combined nonfiction with fiction and differentiated between the two. He told the reader a lie, and then called his own bluff. This is something I admire in a writer; the ability to be both completely honest…

It is also known that this war was America’s longest war lasting a little over 20 years. As shown in the film, it was a brutal, gruesome, and unwinnable war that only one couldn’t imagine. It is quoted in the…

    Ambush Both Ambush is a story about a man’s Vietnam War stories and how he is struggling to keep his secrets unknown to his daughter. I believe that this story falls into both categories for a few reasons.

The reality of it is that it happened and that there is nothing he can do that would change the…
