The Man I Killed is the story of the man that Tim O’Brien killed. However, this story is not true. He later mentions that he did not in fact kill the man, yet he was present and that was enough. This story, according to him, is told to show the reader how he feels, because O’Brien feels as though the truth is that by doing nothing, he killed the man, so in his story, he does kill the man.

In his narratives, Tim intentionally fictionalizes the war experience to illustrate the personal effect the war had, not only on the soldiers but also, the outsiders. He makes sure to mention every detail, even the insignificant little ones, like the things they carried into battle, consisting of their mundane necessities like extra rations or tranquilizers, to U.S. stationeries like Sterno and tanning lotions, to infections and diseases, such as malaria and dysentery. Through story truth, Tim also reveals the psychological burdens they carried; they carried the land of Vietnam, the orange-red dusty soil, the sky, the gravity; they carried the whole atmosphere.

In this poem, ‘The Man He Killed’, the poet Thomas Hardy explores a complex theme, which is war, using the simplest language. Throughout this essay I will be discussing the thoughts and opinions Hardy has on war.

"The Man I Killed" sets up thoughts that are tended to in "Ambush," similarly as "The Things They Carried" sets up thoughts that are tended to in "Affection."

But O'Brien's memory is perfectly clear. He recalls how he heaved the projectile and

From an early age, children are taught that murder is morally wrong. In today’s complex society that is impeded by unsettling periods of civil unrest, it is an expectation for everyone to acknowledge and accept that murder is one of the worst crimes individuals can commit. Perhaps it can be said that the death penalty is one of our legal system’s biggest contradictions of itself, as, if someone commits murder (or another heinous crime of that caliber), such ‘murderers’ will, in states that have capital punishment laws, be sent to Death Row and ultimately murdered in order to prevent potential future crimes by such perpetrators.
