    6. Sample (based on Tylers thesis) In the novel, The Things They Carried, Tim OBrien portrays the struggles that young soldiers faced during the Vietnam War. His novel is part autobiographical, part fiction, weaving his own experience into a realistic blend of stories. All of the stories focus on a platoon of young soldiers and their work during the war. Several stories depict reoccurring struggles, such as dealing with the death of Ted Lavender and the burden of guilt carried by Lieutenant Jimmy Cross. OBrien also reflects on his own struggle and inability to cope with death as a soldier and young man. OBriens message is against the war, showing that these soldiers are just too young to handle the difficulty of war. OBrien proves that facing death forces a maturity that soldiers are just not capable of handling.
