After experiencing trauma, people tend to hold onto it which makes them replay it in their minds and relive it constantly. The trauma is one where, "The bad stuff never stops happening: it lives in its own dimension, replaying itself over and over". The state of ones mind after trauma shows a sense of PATHOS because of them having to deal with it because it "never stops". PATHOS in this claim, used in the quote, is displayed by stating that the person is in constant attack mentally everyday.

Tim O'brien wants us to understand that trauma is a never ending situation. Trauma is a thing that is ingrained in one who has dealt with trauma. "The bad stuff never stops happening" it stays with the person as a constant reminder of what had happened in the past. O'bien uses pathos to be able to prove that trauma is something that in the long term ends up effecting a person and their mental state because all they could do is remember the bad thing that lead them to be traumatized in the first place. Its a situation where the "remembering is turned into a kind of re happening" all over again for them which doesn't allow them to live in their present live but to keep reliving the painful past.

He says that in one moment he could be simply enjoying his life at home and the next he sees "Curt Lemon hanging in pieces from a tree" or he might be watching "Kiowa sinking into the deep muck of a s*** field". This shows that even though he is years and miles away from the time and place where he experienced this trauma he is still heavily affected by it and has to relive these moments in his own mind. This could cause an amazing amount of stress and pain for these veterans as they try to just live their normal lives and try to be happy relaxing with their families especially when they don't understand the pain that they are in. This reveals O'Brien's want for us to understand that these traumas can't just be brushed off because the war is over and we need to understand that veterans need a very long time to recover from them

O'Brien uses Pathos to prove his claim(s) about trauma by describing his own traumatic situation as if we were there. Mentioning the bodies of their friends and noises around them puts us in that emotional and vulnerable state to prove his point that trauma affects all apart of it. As, "Curt Lemon steps into the bright sunlight, his face brown and shining, and then he soars into a tree," the reader is left in disbelief. Describing death, an already sensitive topic, makes it an uncomfortable situation for the reader, leaving us to understand his disposition. Trauma affects us all, and it leaves a permanent mark in our mind and on our lives.

# data[].attributes.body
Tim O'Brien uses pathos to prove and examine his claim that resurfacing traumatic events could lead  to newer and bigger problems. As O'Brien writes "about these things, the remembering is turned into a  kind of rehappening."  Trauma can affect a person even if it is in the past. When one relives that experience they feel as if they were there again during that traumatic time.

# data[].attributes.body
O'Brien insist that through trauma comes along, the fact that loss is imminent and through the loss and grief, it does lead to the swelling of emotion by having the traumatic events "replay itself over and over". Trauma is alluded to the impact of hurt and pain it gives and how it affects emotions within someone and how they think things through. Pathos is given through the trauma and the description of death leading to an emotional breakdown of the information. Through the experiences that are taken in by war, it leads to apathy instead of empathy and the loss of being able to communicate feelings and emotions to one another such as loved ones. O'Brien is trying to display that through trauma leads to the loss of emotion and feelings for one another.

Although, trauma can become a past, but as O'Brien mentioned in his quote that, "the bad stuff...lives in its own dimension" (O'Brien). This shows the many outcomes and flashbacks in relation that happens in the present and in the society, where it reminds oneself of the old thoughts of struggle and hardship. Feelings and observations cannot be erased, what we've already seen and experienced, we cannot just wish not knowing it. In order words, we cannot ignore reality. It is kind of the impossible to ignore, especially, trauma, as shown as a big and influential impact on a person, it is even harder to not refer to it. It is the pain that "haunts" us, reminding us of our old selves and how we changed and became who we are now.

O´Brien admits it himself that the ¨bad stuff never stops happening: it lives in it's own dimension, replaying itself over and over" (O'Brien). What O'Brien had gone through is a never ending hell for him, going through the worst times of his life, traumatizing him. He clearly remembers every detail of what had happened because like he said, it's never ending, even after the years of the war, he continues to think about the war as if it were yesterday. He's stuck with what he has to live with, for as long as he lives. This goes for everyone else who has PTSD from past war experiences.

Trauma, though it may had happened years ago, may resurface again in the form of vivid memories. Through his recollection of death and war during his writing, Tim O'Brien uses pathos to prove that "The bad stuff never stops happening: [the trauma] lives in its own dimension, replaying itself over and over" (O'Brien). While wounds and scars can heal and fade, trauma may last forever, as with O'Brien, who even after many years, can still remember the graphic details of Kiowa's and Curt Lemon's moments before, during, and after death. This thus solidifies his claim on how trauma is something that will always remain with you, even if you can't remember it, it is somewhere deep inside, ready to be unearthed again one day.
