Every single soldier in the novel has to carry some sort of baggage. Apart from the physical weight, they also have to carry their emotional baggage. They would trudge endless hours through the jungle in search for an enemy that doesn't exist.

Dog tags are used as a mean of identification, accomplishment, and also as a way of remembrance. It's like seeing their names engraved on the wall. Helps them grief.

Mitchell Sanders always had a yo-yo when he was telling a story. It represents how a story always has a beginning and an ending. It seems like it can on forever and when unraveling, you can find the moral in it.

They gave me a uniform and a tiny salty pill

To stop the big urge I might have for the wrong kind of thrill

They put a gun in my hand and said, "shoot until he's dead"

But it's hard to kill when 'please your friend' echoes through your head

“I remember Mitchell Sanders… using a thumbnail to pry off the body lice, working slowly,

carefully depositing the lice in a blue USO envelope” (O’Brien 31).

"What you have to do, Sanders said, is trust your own story. Get the hell out of the way and let it tell itself” (Tim O’Brien 106).

Man Up

The night is dark and cold

Even with people around I still feel alone

Rain is beginning to come in

Standing aside I begin to wonder where I’ve been

I think about family and friends,

and all those stories that never seem to end

Trying to find the meaning of it all

Or to understand if it was worth the fall

All these thoughts need to eviscerate

For there’s no changing fate

So wipe all those tears

And don’t get eaten alive by fear

Thoughts of an Old Soldier

They feel no pain since the day they fell.
Their brows will never crease
with worry or some horrid pain.
Our memories of them will never cease.
a promise made years ago as we stood in the rain.
I visited my friends and yes I stood tall
But no matter how much I tried I broke and cried
As I knew those names upon the Wall.

The background image I decided to use was a set of books on top of a wooden table. Books contain stories and every single story has a moral woven into it. Mitchell Sanders is obsessed with finding the moral or lesson that a story has. He is also a philosophical person and books are a great representation of that. Also, the books can represent the stories that each character in the novel have.
