Zora Neale Hurston’s “Their Eyes Were Watching God,” explains how a memory has the capability to stay with one forever no matter the initial impact, and the truth to that memory. “The Things They Carry,” Tim O’Brien’s war story, talks about how time gives one the ability to realize who one is, through all the…
