Instructional Focus 8/27
The following is a quote from the first chapter of
The Things They Carried
. Why does O’Brien use this syntax? How does he control the pace of the sentence and what is his purpose? What diction does he use and what is the tone?
“
They plodded along slowly, dumbly, leaning forward against the heat, unthinking, all blood and bone, simple grunts, soldiering with their legs, toiling up the hills and down into the paddies and across the rivers and up again and down, just humping, one step and then the next and then another, but no volition, no will, because it was automatic, it was anatomy, and the war was entirely a matter of posture and carriage, the hump was everything, a kind of inertia, a kind of emptiness, a dullness of desire and intellect and conscience and hope and human sensibility.” p. 15
