The Things They Carried

I am really disappointed that the schedule worked out where you are starting this book without me. I am especially disappointed because I think this book deserves an incredible and passionate introduction, not someone who isn't me dropping copies on your desks. This book is phenomenal. It is well-written, it is an incredible documentation of history, it allows the reader and writer to involve themselves in the most intricate of dances, and it's beautiful poetry. There is a lot of profanity, which is why we are only reading certain chapters, but if that sort of thing doesn't bother you, I would read more than the assigned chapters. We will work on this book starting on Monday of next week, so have it finished! Also, make sure that you have your Flurry of Frenetic Focus to turn in!

Here is a PDF of the whole book. However, we have copies for most/all of you.
