Source Evaluation

Janis E Haswell.  "THE CRAFT OF THE SHORT STORY IN RETELLING THE VIET NAM WAR: TIM O'BRIEN'S THE THINGS THEY CARRIED. " The South Carolina Review  37.1 (2004): 94-109. Humanities Module, ProQuest. Web.  25 Oct. 2010.
I found this article to be very interesting. It is full of insight into the way Tim O’Brien “crafts” his stories of life before, during and after the Vietnam War. It is a deeper look into the way Tim O’Brien writes and why. This is a fresh perspective on the book “The Things They Carried” and provides more insight on the stories meanings.

"Vietnam War." Encyclopædia Britannica. 2010. Encyclopædia Britannica Online. 25 Oct. 2010 <http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/628478/Vietnam-War>.
I am going to use the Encyclopedia Britannica for my historical information. It is a very reliable source for true and factual events and dates. By using Encyclopedia Britannica I will have a better understanding of the mindset of America before, during, and after the Vietnam War. It critical to take the pulse of the War at these different times to better understand the writings of Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried”.
