Important People Of The Things They Carried

In the craft of Tim O'Briens writing, he included several different characters throughout the book. The center character is lieutenant Jimmy Cross who is responsible for the entire group of men. Cross continues to face emotional struggles with the war, and with his strong love for a girl named Martha. Other characters consist of Kiowa, who was a man that demonstrates the effects war can have on a man, and how opinions can change greatly, just because of one man's death. In addition to best friend Kiowa, Mitchell Sanders committed greatly to O'Briens creation of the book ,as Sanders was a well known devoted solider. This allowed O'Brien to continue attempting getting his message out there ,and sure enough he did.
