The+Things+They+Carried.

Did I like the reading? to be honest no I really didn't because I did not understand it at all. The characters were harsh and a bit vulger, so no I did not quite like the characters either. The setting was war which is not good at all because we should have peace throughout the world and that is something we haven't had in a very long time. Basically, this story did not intrest me mainly because it was all about war, the terrors of it, and i could not focus on the main idea and what it was trying to tell you. I would not recommend this book to anyone unless they like to read and learn from stories on war and violence. Yes, this does kind of relate to the real world. We are in war with Iraq, the Middle East, and many other foreign countries, but this story also takes place during WW2 and that is over. I don't really think there should be wars in the first place we all need to learn that violence does not solve anything and we need to make peace between one another. Yes, this is realistic as well many people die fighting, families get hurt by this, and many are scared of what could happen.. It happens. I for one could never go to war I would be to afraid that I would be killed, kiddnapped, or torchered, no way is that for me, probably could not do it. Like i said war is not a good thing at all and should be abolished to make peace and finally have a country worth living in. Of course there are probably men in war today that think like him, i wouldn't dout it. Many people like the war and want it to progress, others like me think it is wrong. I do not know much about WW2 and the war on terrorism but they are both wars and they both included foreigners that tried to either kill us,destroy our goverment, or take over our country.
