3. The Things They Carried: Spin~Emotions

Throughout this chapter, I noticed the many emotions explained by O'Brien. He describes anxiety mixed with peace. Also incorporated, is the importance of storytelling among the men. Storytelling is a way for the men to cope with their current situation. Not many people, could survive a war if they were constantly thinking about it. It would make a person go absolutely mad. Storytelling makes the whole experience more bearable for the soldiers. It binds them into a brotherhood or fraternity.
