I think part of the book I like the most is that you don't know what's real and what's fake. I like that O'brien plays games with stories. But isn't that what stories are all about anyway? We're always elaborating the truth, telling it in different ways to different people, omitting and adding for the sake of the story! I like the naturalness of it, and that he's honest about possibly telling some lies...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881207229096465866.post-34195707392553651282009-02-09T14:58:00.000-05:002009-02-09T14:58:00.000-05:00I think also this is what good writers do.

They use true human emotion and also what could be real life situations. That's how they "hook" us, they appeal to our own experiences and humanity.Rachael Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12117077853262533332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881207229096465866.post-14275517245152923082009-02-09T14:55:00.000-05:002009-02-09T14:55:00.000-05:00"This book is lovingly dedicated to the men of Alp..."This book is lovingly dedicated to the men of Alpha Company, and in particular to Jimmy Cross, Norman Bowker, Rat Kiley, Michell Sanders, Henry Dobbins, and Kiowa."<BR/><BR/>I noticed the same things, and I think that maybe because it's a war story and could have some true parts, as there are things that could be relatable, he does this to go out to the companies, and the soldiers. Maybe one could identify with a particular soldier. As I have no war experience myself I don't know, but yes in my opinion it could be a way to dedicate the book to all soldiers of the Vietnam war.Rachael Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12117077853262533332noreply@blogger.com
