🌟 Recommendation Details

Fellow soldiers in the Alpha Company were brought in an event that occurred in the middle of the Vietnam war. Throughout Tim's experience, he talks about the stories of his fellow mates. The burdens and livelihood all of the soldiers carry in the times of War. The Things They Carried explore the depth of what soldiers had to go through in times of War. The physical weapons we're the only things that they carried throughout the story but the emotional toll, regret and guilt they have. The primary theme teaches you/makes you acknowledge of the burdens we all carry.
