Linda was O’Brien’s first experience with death and the loss of a close friend or loss of a person in his life. She represented young and innocence in life. After Linda died, O’Brien kept her alive by dreaming of her all the time, he even looked forward to sleeping just so he could see her. This was the beginning of his storytelling and keeping people alive with his mind or through stories. She represents the loss of innocence and loss of childhood. This representation is an example of the young soldiers who lost their lives and drastically changed in the war. When she died and Timmy saw her dead body he realized that people die and your friends can die; which is something the soldiers experienced for the first time. O’Brien keeping her alive
He thinks back to this when he sees his first dead body during the Vietnam War. The thought of Linda helps him cope with the terrors of the sight. The death of Linda prepares him for the death he will see during the war. Even if O’Brien did not go to war, his life would not be free of sorrow. He would have lost his innocence anyway because of Linda.
I got few points corrected. I have a list of questions for you. Sorry if the questions are repetitive. I tried to retain as much information as I can when you reviewed it with me. I am really pulling my hair out with Martin. Only because it is being budgeted. I don’t know, what is your advice? I know for sure I already went over the budget hours. If I won’t get in trouble, I’ll continued doing what I’m doing and keep asking questions until I get everything right. or is this a Linda Everst’s question?
Linda is the most important woman in the book. Even though she shows up in the end of the book for the one story, she was Tim O'Brien's first love. "I just loved her. She had poise and great dignity. Her eyes, I remember, were deep brown like her hair, and she was slender and very quiet and fragile-looking" (228). This shows how much he loves her, he can recall much detail after so long. The reason she is so important is, she is the one that gives Tim the ability to keep storytelling. Tim and Linda were in love, he even recalls the night they went on a date, when they were only in 5th grade. "That night, I remember, she wore a new red cap, which seemed very stylish and

In “Lives of the Dead”, O’Brien’s own innocence is preserved through the memory of Linda, a memory that remains untarnished by the inevitable corruption that results from life. O’Brien’s writings “save Linda’s life. Not her body--her life” (236). Storytelling and memories preserve the value of Linda’s existence while simultaneously allowing O’Brien to process death and destruction in a way that maintains a degree of optimism regarding his own life and future. Juxtaposing the images of body and life emphasizes his desire to save the idea of Linda while accepting the loss of her physical presence. O’Brien rejects the idea of death as absolute and final; instead he suggests that “once you are alive, you can never be dead” (244). Linda’s death solidifies her importance in O’Brien’s own development; she teaches him about life and real love as much as in death as in life. O’Brien’s paradoxical statement defines the lasting impact of Linda on him; her presence in his stories keeps her alive through memory; memories that even her death

There was this scene where Lisa Howard: What is the most important quality for a revolutionary to possess? Ernesto CheGuevara: El amor. Cuban Diplomat #1: [translating] Love. Lisa Howard: Love? Cuban Diplomat #1: “Love of humanity... of justice and truth”. A real revolutionary goes where he is needed. This portrayed that Guevara expounded a vision of a new socialist citizen who would work for the good of society rather than for personal profit, a notion he embodied through his own hard work. Often he slept in his office, and, in support of the volunteer labour program he had organized, he spent his day off working in a sugarcane field. He had one of the most vital roles in the revolution being the army's official doctor, the revolution's logical

Page 114: This question makes me wonder if people would actually believe what Melinda says if she speaks up. Andy, her rapist is well known, popular so the students might think Melinda is looking for attention. It’s sad to think that Melinda will never gain the trust of her classmates just because of an accident. I feel like the moment Andy confess everyone will feel bad for treating Melinda like that.
