Dear class,
I asked you to re-read
“The Lives of the Dead” (pp. 225-246) in The Things They Carried.
I also asked you to mark a passage or two which might suggest what the story, or the book, says about life. What final
message does Tim O’Brien seek to convey to his reader?
What do you think? Please cite a passage from the book to support your idea.
Best,
Mr. Cummins
