The Things They Carried
<br />*Reading Choice:
<br />*Explain your selection. (3-4 sentences)
<br />"The Things They Carried" was selected for a number of reasons. We felt that it would have a better
<br />than average appeal to a male audience plus it is included on several high school reading lists. We also
<br />felt that the subject matter (a foreign war) was timely due to the current war. We also like the
<br />abundance of materials available from The Big Read.
