the things they carried

If i was the author, i would feel as if i was responsible for the death of Norman. I don't know how i would deal with teh guilt! He has to know that it was basically him that did it. I mean the guy wrote hima letter about the book. It had to be a warning sign. I don't blame the author but i really think it was his fault. I know there is nothing he can do about it now but i just wonder why he didn't write it the right way the first time....

the things they carried

I really wonder if i was presented with the situation to kill someone, if i could do it. I can shoot a deer and help gut it with only a small amount of squeamishness, but could i kill a human? Maybe if I was going to die or they were going to I could manage it, but i would regret it for the rest of my life. people think that hunting season in barbaric and evil. they say you might as well kill people. these people don't understand the fact that hunting is population control. war is not people population control. hunting and killing a person are two very unrelated topics. i may feel bad for the deer for a second, then i remember all the people who have died in car accident because of them. In the case for our guy in the book, I feel bad. his kill was out of reaction. He is haunted to this day like i would have been.
