In the story “THE MAN I KILLED” by Tim Obrien the theme of war experiences is highlighted still emphasizing on the encounters during the warfare. Obrien relates the happenstances surrounding the life of the persona in the Warfield in a dreadful manner in attempt to reveal the attitudes of the soldiers towards the twists of fate. In the story, O’Brien’s guilt fixes him on the entire life of the fallen guy such that his presence in the narration—as narrator and protagonist—diminishes towards the back. Because he fails to use the first person point of view to elucidate his guilt and misperception, he discusses his emotional states by operating in fantasy—by visualizing the whole life for his casualty, from his early years or childhood as well as his family to his feeling regarding the war and about the Americans as a whole. His guilt nearly assumes its own cadence in the repetition of ideas, observations, and phrases. Some of these ideas here, particularly the conception of the casualty being a “slim, young, dainty man,” aid in emphasizing O’Brien’s paranoia on the effects of his own action. Simultaneously, his concentration on these physical physiognomies, rather than on his own state of mind, betrays his attempt to keep some distance in order to overcast the agony.
My Country by William J. Simon
In this poem, Simon revolves around the theme of war by relating the experiences of the personas who seemingly are mistreated soldiers.
