"Ill tell you the straight truth," he said. The guy was dead the second he stepped on the trail. Understand me? We all had him zeroed" (O'brien 31). Kiowa was trying to make Tim feel better because he killed the man by telling him that the soldier was already dead because he is in the war.
"This is all wrong,' he said. 'What?' 'Setting up here. It's wrong. I don't care what, it's still a church.' Dobbins nodded. 'True.' 'Achurch,' Kiowa said. 'Just wrong"(O'Brien 116). This quote explains how Kiowa is religious and he feels bad that he is setting up war material inside a church because it is wrong.

Tim is observing, big hearted, nervous, and doesn't belong in the war.
Quotes:
"... I was drafted to fight a war I hated" (O'Brien 38).
This quote shows Tim's traits by showing that he had no interest in supporting his country, because it has had nothing to do with him and he wants to keep it that way. It shows him being nervous, and also how he doesn't belong.
"Sometimes I forgive myself, other times I don't"(Obrien 128).
This quote represents Tim's big heart. Over in Vietnam there were soldiers that killed many more enemy forces that Tim, yet decades after the war killing this one young soldier still impacts Tim. He sees this boy as a person just like him trying to escape the war as a whole and do good educated things with his life.

"They were not love letters, but lieutenant Cross was hoping, so he kept them folded in plastic at the bottom of his rucksack."(O'Brien 1)
This quote is important for Jimmy Cross because it shows his traits of how he was obsessive , hopeful , and somewhat responsible. This quote also talks about Martha and the letters that he carries with him which is one of the most important things about Jimmy Cross's character.

"he felt shame . he hated himself. He had loved Martha more than his men, and as a consequence Lavender was now dead, and this was something he would have to carry like a stone in his stomach for the rest of the war" (O'Brien 16)

This quote explains Jimmy well because it shows his obsession with Martha but it also goes into detail about how he was a leader because he was the lieutenant and he took responsibility for Ted Lavender's death and then took charger after.

This quote explains a huge part of the book and of Normans life which what happened to be the end of his life. This quote also examines how he was lost, soft, depressed, and felt left behind.
Norman could not talk about it and never would. The evening was smooth and warm. If it had been possible, which it wasn't, he would have explained how his friend Kiowa slipped away that night beneath the dark swampy field. He was folded in with the war; he was part of the waste. (O'Brien 123-124). This quote explains how Norman had self guilt because he tried to save Kiowa from the waste field so he felt bad because he couldn't save him.
