This research paper: A 3 page essay that analyzes the theme of reality versus fantasy in Tim O'Brien's novel The Things They Carried, which presents the experience of soldiers fighting in Vietnam in a realistic manner. A realistic war story is nothing new. Many writers have related the carnage and horror of war, but they do so in a standard linear fashion, which has the effect of relating the irrationality of war in a rational fashion. O'Brien's writing, rather than presenting his war stories in a rational, chronological fashion, blurs the lines between reality and fantasy. In doing so, he presents a truer picture of combat experience because this recreates the psychic landscape of the traumatized combat soldier. No additional sources cited.
