Welcome to Ms. Marlow's English 11 Wiki for //The Things They Carried// by Tim O'Brien. In this online classroom, we are going to explore the history of the Vietnam War, the culture of the 1960s, as well as O'Brien's novel. =====

"This book is essentially different from any other that has been published concerning the 'late war' or any of its incidents. Those who have had any such experienced as the author will see its truthfulness at once, and to all other readers it is commended as a statement of actual things by one who experienced them to the fullest."

~//John Ransom's Andersonville Diary//, inscribed at the beginning of //The Things They Carried//.
