Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Englisch - Literatur, Werke, Note: 2,0, Philipps-Universität Marburg (Amerikanistik), Veranstaltung: American War Literature, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 1. Introduction1.1 Topic statementMichael Herr s Dispatches and Tim O Brien s The Things they carried (I will use theabbreviation Things) are two well-known examples of Vietnam War Literature. Thingsapproaches the Vietnam War as a work of fiction . The author states in the beginning ofhis book: Except for a few details regarding the author s own life, all the incidents, namesand characters are imaginary . Critics refer Things to Postmodernism.Dispatches, however, is not fiction: Michael Herr covered the war for 2 years (1967-69)for the Esquire magazine and in 1978, the year of the publication, Dispatches wasnominated for the National Book Award for nonfiction (Bonn 28). The critics labelDispatches as New Journalism: Michael Herr s Dispatches is the work of a war correspondent, but it is not journalism in theordinary sense of the word, i.e. an objective, detached reporting of the facts . Instead it is awork of the so-called New Journalism, a hybrid form that, in typical postmodern fashion, blurstraditional genre distinctions. (.) The New Journalism abandons all pretense of impersonalobjectivity instead an intense, substituting subjectivity that (.) also employs such devices offiction as characterization, flashbacks and interior monologue (Carpenter 36/37).This term paper deals with the depiction of the Vietnam War in Dispatches and Things,with a special focus on the depiction of violence and the everyday life of the soldiers.Because of the fact that the books are different in style and narrative transmission, I willput briefly some emphasis on those aspects in the beginning.1.2 Thesis statementBoth writers depict the war without moral purposes, showing as well the negative featuresof the war (death, terror, fear, brutalization, deadening, etc.) as the properties of war whichcould be regarded as positive (a thrilling and seductive experience, comradeship, beauty / majesty of the war). 20 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,7, University of Mannheim (Anglistisches Seminar), course: In Times of Crisis. Representations of War in American Literature and Film from the Civil War to Iraq, language: English, abstract: In the book 'The things they carried' by Tim O'Brien the narrator says that a good war story is never true. He admits that nearly everything in the book is made up, after saying that it is true before. However, the reader learns that not until the 7th chapter, in which O'Brien, the narrator, tells the reader that everything up to now has been invented. Similarly, he leaves open if some things are true or not. Even the narrator, who is named like the author himself, is made up and has no or little similarity to the author, e.g the author O'Brien does not have a daughter, whereas the narrator O'Brien does.Reading 'The things they carried', a question keeps coming up again and again: Why does he do that Why does Tim O'Brien, the narrator, constantly tell the reader that everything is made up It does not make any sense. The reader just gets confused.In addition to this question, I found myself wondering if there was a clear difference between truth and fiction in the book, namely if you could say this is true and this is untrue and this is certain and this is uncertain. And if yes, was it O'Brien's intention to draw this clear line, or did it just happen by accident Of course, one cannot know everything for certain and no one can look into O'Brien's brain, but you can make assumptions based on the knowledge you have.In my paper I will focus mainly on the aspect why the principle of truth and fiction is used in The things the carried and which effects come out of that. I think this is very interesting, because, in my opinion, this is the main aspect of the whole book. Someone who reads it will not be able to stop themselves from asking questions in their head. The main process while reading is that you just keep asking yourself these questions again and again and you cannot find any answer to them. My goal, however, is not to find any answers, but to try to explain this aspect truth and fiction as a whole and to examine what it might contribute to describe the Vietnam war. 20 pp. Englisch.
