Was this due today? Or yesterday? Ok whatever.
I think O'Brien wrote this book to show other people his perspective on the Vietnam war. "How To Tell a True War Story" is a good example. The stories in this book aren't true...actually almost nothing in this book is true..so why would O'Brien have written it? I think that by telling these stories, he's telling the readers an aspect on the war that is different from what they usually hear.
This is a hard question to answer because I can't really think of an intellegent response. Why did O'Brien write this book? This would make a really worthwhile class discussion for when we finish the whole novel.
