Respond to BOTH of the following prompts about "The Things They Carried":


1.) In the story titled, "Enemies" Dave Jensen breaks his own nose after breaking Lee Strunk's. What was he scared of, and do you think his fear was justified? How do you think Lee Strunk and Dave Jensen's relationship will change as a result?


2.) Based on what we've read so far in The Things They Carried, what effect do experiences in war have on otherwise young, just out of high school, men? Do the experiences make a person "grow up", or do they make men act like children? Explain why you think what you think, and use examples from the story to support your thoughts.
