Literary Analysis of the Things they Carried by Tim O`Brien

Instructions:

Write a well-organized, effectively developed, 3-5-page analysis of one of the short stories we read in this course,
1) "Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne 
2) "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman 
3) Stories by Katherine Anne Porter & Eudora Welty 
4) "What You Pawn I Will Redeem" by Sherman Alexie 
5) "The Things They Carried" by Tim O`Brien, a Vietnam War veteran
The paper should critically analyze the way the text engages a
significant social issue or how the story addresses issues or problems of social responsibility. You should
anchor the paper’s argument with a clearly articulated thesis statement and use careful analysis of textual
evidence (from the short story) to support your claim (thesis). As you develop your essay, you should think
about how the social issue, or matter of social responsibility you write about, appears in your world. In other
words, is the issue from the story one that might be observed in your own local community, your state, your
nation, or in the larger world? Is the way the issue is portrayed in the story similar to what you observe in your
world? Comment briefly on the similarities and/or differences.
