It is almost like you are there experiencing what is happening. This book is very easy to read because of how easily it captures your attention.

I felt like his thinking was so drastically appropriate and sometimes i can get that same thinking cap on. When he realized all the ways out of war and listed what they were and why he couldn't take them to get out of this war i came to a realization this is all too true. Tim is an incredible character and maybe it's because i see his mindset more but i share a huge connection to him as well!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519027930734775705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903053628583691322.post-54719422318065564932014-10-15T10:45:33.079-07:002014-10-15T10:45:33.079-07:00Alex, I agree completely with you what you said ab...Alex, I agree completely with you what you said about Tim O'Brian. I think he is an excellent writer and I agree with his detail. He grabs my attention when he writes with much detail.

He does a really good job putting in perspective that we can visualize and experience the emotions that he wants us to.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015124779045439458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903053628583691322.post-28114827592195570462014-10-15T10:42:04.005-07:002014-10-15T10:42:04.005-07:00I agree with you completely on what you said about...I agree with you completely on what you said about "On The Rainy River." I also found that chapter very influential, how Tim decided to tell us (the reader) a story that he has never told anyone before helped me to connect personally with Tim. I also found it wonderful how you said that this chapter showed "true human emotions" because up to this point we are only hearing the thoughts of someone in the Army.

I think that a lot of people would have the same mindset as you and him given the same circumstance. I cannot imagine getting drafted myself, but I think that running to Canada may also cross my mind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507717697654087852noreply@blogger.com
