Sean O Keeefe Chapter Summary
Through out this book Sean and Charlotte O’Keefe provided advocacy for Willow in several ways. The most obvious way Charlotte provided advocacy for Willow was by suing Piper not because if she would have known sooner she may have changed her mind about Willow, but because she wanted the money for Willows sake. Charlotte wanted the money for Willow so she would not have to worry about anything especially medical expenses in her life. Before the lawsuit when they were in Disney Sean was outraged when the family was separated due to Willow slipping on a napkin in the Disney Park. Though the hospital, policemen and family services were just doing their job, Sean could not forgive and forget. This is started the uprising of the lawsuit. He wanted

    By 1938, the massacre had stopped with over millions of dollars in damage along with human flesh decorated everywhere (Chang, 159). Chang described in Chapter seven the damage Japan had done not only in Nanking but also along the villages outside of it. Slowly the city came back to life also the Japanese had not yet finished. Just like described in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, the Japanese opened medical experiments on the Nanking citizens. While the Japanese called the human guinea pigs “lumber” (Chang, 164), the Germans had their subjects, mainly women, called “rabbits” (Shirer, 979). The sale of drugs and crime swallowed the city and though the mass murders stopped, life wasn’t all that pleasant. Japan’s reign over Nanking stopped…

    This novel is very different from the others that I have read. Tim O’Brien wrote this book to show how it was at Vietnam and what soldiers have to go thru. However he wrote this book under the genre of fiction because this way he could write things that were not true and still make it billable to the reader. Rather than him just saying things as they are. Perhaps if he told things as they really happen then the reader might not be interested of what was going on. Now the author wrote this book for two reasons.…

In particular, a veteran named Tim O’Brien publishes The Things They Carried to demonstrate the realities of war.

    There are instances when imaginary stories are more powerful than those that actually happened. The fictional reality present in O'Brien's The Things They Carried adds more realism to his writing than any amount of actual details every could. Even though the stories recounted in the book didn't physically happen, they still hold as true as any actual war story. Furthermore, many of the characters and experiences found in these stories have been created from composites of real people and places. Essentially, the stories are first-hand accounts of things that never happened. Tim O'Brien uses this fictional world to negate death, to emphasize meaningful events and character traits, and to enrich the stories with feelings as oppose to factual details.…
