Introduction

0'Brien, Carla Wolenski, and unnamed character are all seen as protagonists in "How to Tell a True War Story," "You Survived the War, Now Survive the Homecoming" and "The Train." All these characters at one point were all affected in their lives by fear and pain, which prompted them to come up with their stories. Imminently, the two pieces, "How to Tell a True War Story" and "The Train" explain the aftermath of the Vietnam and Iraq's Wars respectively. However, the piece on "You Survived the War, Now Survive the Homecoming" primarily centers on the challenges that are always seen in the marriage institution.

O'Brien uses a quite emotional style of writing to explain what went on during the Vietnam War in his work, "How to Tell a True War Story." Despite the fact that the author, who emerges as the protagonist, in this case, mentions that the story is true, a lot is left to be understood. One can understand that he is the protagonist when he said that "I sit at this typewriter and stare through my words and watch Kiowa sinking into the deep muck of a shit field, or Curt Lemon hanging in pieces from a tree, and as I write about these things, the remembering is turned into a rehappening" (36). He centers his story along the tragic events that affected the Vietnam War, primarily after the loss of his close friend, Curt Lemon, to a landmine accident. The latter's death marked the beginning of other unexpected and unbearable misfortunes to O'Brien and his platoon.
