An Annotated Bibliography Humanities

Most of the collection to the things we carry have most characters that reappear in many different stories. The are many sources that looks at the “effectiveness of stories” in this case “The Things They Carried” “as agents of healing and overcoming redemption.” It does not focus on at “The Things They Carried” but an independent short story but into many different parts of a novel twenty- two to be exact. Blyn, points out how O’Brien really does not capture to many what would be a follow the traditional combat type of writing where at the end of the stories he allows readers and characters a feeling of typical ending. It further analysis how combat stories typically “entails both a loss of innocence and redemption” which in a purposeful way O’Brien does not achieve.

A lot of things can be used to describe O’Brien’s type of writing style and language. critical to point out the ongoing topics of O’Brien’s likes due to how mysterious it was rather than the feeling of coping. The feeling of coping was critical not because it searches for lots of various things throughout his stories but because it portrays in a way as a theme of his story and to the combat both in real life and fantasy land. he had us going into a place where what we think is the combat to seem very realistic and showing us how it is similar to O’Brien’s stories can help readers with general information and understanding for many to see the reasoning and similarly to many in literature.

Subsequent source looks at “The Things They Carried” as a break down and to many stories “twenty-two” to be exact instead of one whole story that help make up every piece of the book. It helps us see the insight into the combat zones that has been talked about throughout the different stories and how importance it is as well as combining these descriptions by O’Brien to the “historical and journalistic documentation regarding Quang Ngai province in Vietnam.” Goluboff, concentrates on how O’Brien present certain critical events that occur during the combat that had a big effect on the soldiers close to him quick and linking to key points in the combat for example, O’Brien’s deployment being “nearly over when General William Peers was sent to Quang Ngai to head investigations of My Lai (Zone 192).” Goluboff, outcome for his paper by acknowledging that O’Brien’s “kept returning to Ba Lang an in histories” is indicative of “is asking for forgiveness for that history.”

the style of writing is a great source that can be used to reference others analysis of the first short story. The style is showing many inside knowledge to the importance of how the soldier feel and respond to when leaving and going through the combat . It also helps seek out for a feeling of mystery and fear into O’Brien’s type of writing. It can also show into how importance O’Brien’s used his own experiences and feelings and how he coped with everything during the combat and how he related it to his writing. In the press conference with D’Amore he talks to and ask questions about O’Brien and his writing process and what goes into his writing, and how he keeps writing his stories. Writing his next story. O’Brien talks about how by nature he is makes mess and who prefers “the mystery expanded as opposed than firmed up.” D’Amore also tries to get incite for other writers who share O’Brien common interest when it comes to writhing on combat s and the thing the combat intel. Hi respond was he feels that everyone will wright in accordance to their own experience and beliefs.

This press conference provides an insight to O’Briens thinking and views both on his writing and the writings of other authors. The press conference with D’Amore can also be used as a good source that can help provide further studies about to O’Brien’s writing in “The Things They Carried”. The press conference can also show insight to many different angles of the story where the reader is left at a loss for words felling puzzled and or surprised by different thoughts, or even the characters. It cannot explain what O’Brien’s was trying to get to with the story because as he says in the press conference that he prefers to leave his readers puzzled and wondering about the story instead of being clear and looking for answers which is also proof in his feedback to the questions for this interview.

Subsequent essay blast out and points out O’Brien’s writing during the time he wrote “The Things They Carried.” It digs into how he used fictional and real through. Marton, tells us that O’Brien like these different approaches to form crazy illusions that. “requires readers to balance the physical and the metaphysical worlds.” Marton shows how other critiques agree to how she think that her own ways on O’Brien’s writing. She also talks about what she see to be O’Brien’s “most effective technique” which “is to juxtapose the physical and metaphysical burdens.” As see beings to end her review she insinuates that O’Brien’s language is the cause for the pictures and emotions.

This source can be good when dealing with on how positive it is in O’Brien’s language and approach to invent mystery and to show a combat story that different from many others. In an dialog O’Brien says he would rather write a story versus telling it due to the fact that he can take as long as he need to say what he feels is right that can persuade his audience to have emotions when they read or listen to what he is saying . This review to me is an overview on all of the language. Subsequently the overview discusses the popularity benefits of “The Things They Carried.” It talks about the work that was put into “twenty-two short stories, that was all put out at different times Subsequent source can be used to discuss the story and the themes of the story. It can also be a great supporting source for the press conference where O’Brien tells how he leans to combat d of a mystery parts corroborate the different endings
