Finally, at the end of the story, after placing the bags on the “life” side of the tracks, he walks through the bar and notices the people waiting for the train are drinking, he does the same “He drank an Anis at the bar and looked at the people.”(p.598) here I think Hemingway…

Memories and Emotions The work of fiction, The Things They Carry, can be categorized as either a novel or a collection of short stories. If one were to put it into a genre, or a sub-genre, then realistic fiction or a memoire would not be inaccurate. All the stories are told through memory; every chapter is a story told through the point of view of one of the men from the Alpha Company. Half as many chapters are about the surviving characters and them reliving their experiences, but the…

people-person, and staying organized and on task is one of my most valuable strengths. I received more assurance when listening to my closest family members tell stories of me at my best, and learning my top five strengths.

Remembering this story, he told me, he said it was one of the very first clues to himself and others around me that I could someday become a teacher, much like my…

Overall, my experience reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline has been amazing. The characters, setting, and plot are all used to perfection to really give a not only a story but a experience for the reader. The characters were really good, likeable and had deeper layers to them. Wade Watts and his friends were all funny and had a good relationship together and that really made you want them to succeed. The characters were all very distinct as they all have personal traits that made them stand…
