What are your favorite lines and/or scenes from The Things They Carried (TTTC)?
I'm glad I asked; Here's one of mine: "In any war story, but especially a true one, it's difficult to separate what happened from what seemed to happen. What seems to happen becomes its own happening and has to be told that way" (71).
Don't you feel that everything that "happens" is due to our perception...?

My favorite scene from tttc is the ongoing examples about martha and cross..i liked the story line about that because it seems realistic and it is somewhat relatable for highschool students. everyone can experience the saddness of loving someone who doesnt love him/her back.

The story about the Tip Top Lodge. It proved that the people who go to war are "real" in the sense that they get embarrassed like the rest of us. I never imagined someone going to war simply (or not-so-simply) because he's afraid of being teased.
My favorite quote from this book so far is...
"In the field, though, the causes were immediate. A moment of carelessness or bad judgment or plain stupidity carried consequences that lasted forever" (177).
I like this quote because... in our 'field' of life, we may make ONE rash decision--ONE bad call, and it may affect us for the rest of our lives.
