Dear Mr. O'Brien,
After I began to read "The Things They Carried," I was fascinated by your descriptive writing of a story of a soldier in a war. The sensory details and visual effects give readers the feeling of actually being at the story's setting. Your illustration of the war makes your readers wanting more after every page and what makes this an interesting story to me is that you don't censor out words that stresses strong feelings and you don't omit personal information even if it is a little too personal.

o'brien definitely wants us to picture what war actually looks like and feels like. Way to pick up on that...especially notice the way he uses specific words to show these raw emotions and he weaves the image of "carrying" throughout the story. Keep looking for examples of this!
