In Tim O'Brien's novel, The Things They Carried, a collection of stories about U.S. soldiers' experiences during the Vietnam War, he focuses on the importance of inanimate objects. Often, the objects the soldiers carried with them helped them preserve their own truths and sense of identity as they grappled with the toils of warfare in the jungles of Vietnam. These objects and stories they tell often vary by the mission, superstition, necessity, and the soldiers' total awe for the things they carry.
