The Things They Carried Audiobook
Tim O’Brien was really emotional about this concept and he wanted to write all about this in detail. Vietnam War really took many things away from the soldiers who were fighting this battle. There was a heavy life loss and then there were soldiers who weren’t able to forget the friends and team members whom they lost in front of their eyes. Most people still think that soldiers take with them guns and explosive material during the war because this is the only thing they need for their survival.
This is an incorrect thought because like other human beings, the soldiers also need a taste of religion and family for their survival. Bryan Cranston narrates how soldiers carry in their luggage letters from their families. Even when those letters are not fresh ones, the soldiers keep them for the sake of the emotions and feelings attached to them.
There are those who carry Bibles because this book provides them hope in this life and also for the life ahead. Family pictures and also other storybooks are also there in the luggage all the time. The presence of these things shows that the soldiers are not thinking about bloodshed all the time rather they have a personal life of their own as well.
Even when there is a lot of stuff going on around them, these brave men find time to give to their personal life and it is an important activity that stops them from becoming savage. Going After Cacciato and If I Die in a Combat Zone came out of the pen of author for the same reason. The author wanted the people to hear about the soldiers who serve on the battleground.
