By Tim O'Brien
Pages(1-27)
My first impressions of this novel are that it is very good. It is not like the other books that I read. The difference being that it is a whole new genre and I just found it an interesting topic to read. When you think about war the first thing that pops into my mind is that they are fighting for everyons freedom, but they are also fighting for there own. most people dont realive that it is harder for the soldiers because of the things that they have to carry with them on every mission. Some of the thing that they take are the essentials for each mission alone with some personal items. ut when doing so they have to make sure that these item dont put too much wieght on there back since most of the time they will be walking and it could be the difference between life or death for them. They have to be able to move quickly when they are in danger and you cant do that when you have too much wieght to carry. Also thething that are personal to them could harm them because they distract them from there main objectives and if there not ready it could be fatile.

This was a pretty dense, yet neat section of the book. I like how O'Brien weaves in possessions with more abstract possessions.
