Summary of Symbolism Presented by Vietnam/War In reading Philip Caputos book, A Rumor of War, I discovered that he strongly presented a similar idea to that of Tim OBrien in his book, The Things They Carried. ... In this piece that I created, Vietnam/War, I drew mainly on the work of Philip Caputo as the basis for the imagery. ... The color side of this piece represents the beauty of Vietnam, as it was a very picturesque country with beautiful lagoons and scenery. ... The Vietnam War itself was uclear. ... It is also symbolic of the fact that the war will forever mark Vietnam as a place of dread and death for some people, so that its beauty is forever marred. Vietnam recollections relive the wars surreal horror THE THINGS THEY CARRIED Written by Tim OBrien. ... By MARK WEBSTER THE VIETNAM WAR has produced a new generation of writers concerned with the American experience in Vietnam. ... The stories concern Tim OBrien, a soldier 21-years-old patrolling Quang Ngai Province in Vietnam in 1968, and Tim OBrien, a writer 43-years-old remembering the past. ... The surreal horror of the war in Vietnam can live again only in stories. The stories in Vietnam are, at the same time, sharply immediate and filtered through memory. ... Some of the stories dont occur in Vietnam. They tell of OBriens brush with courage as he almost flees to Canada; of his trying to explain his obsession with Vietnam to his nine-year-old daughter; and of the aftermath, the return home.
