I am in Comp II and read "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien. I need to discuss the following questions.
- How does the death of Ted Lavendar fit into the structure of the story?
- How many times is Ted Lavendars death retold?
- How is the death of Ted Lavendar different in the various retellings?
- Why does Ted Lavendars death become a little more different each time? Is this event related to the theme in some way? If so, how?
