  3. The reason why Tim hates Bobby is because Bobby was scared an forgot how to treat for shock. Tim found out that he about died because of him. He wanted to get back at him. So he pulled pranks on him so he could feel how scared he was.

  4. I think Tim O'Brien includes linda in the last chapter of the book because he wanted to let the readers know that he loved her and wanted to explain what death what death felt like. she was the first dead body he seen and he seen more dead body when he was in Vietnam.

  5. Tim hates Bobby Jorgenson because out side a village when Tim got hit in the butt it took Bobby 10 minutes to get to him. What really made him hate Bobby is he forgot to treat for shock. So Tim could have died of shock, it was supposed to be the first thing bobby needed to treat for. Their relationship is at first Tim hates him and wants revenge, But after a chapter or two they shack hands and call it even.

  6. I think Tim included the story about Linda because she was the first dead body he has seen. He described how it made him feel just like when he was in Vietnam he looked at all of the dead bodies. Linda symbolizes that he was clueless about what happened but he kept dreaming her alive like she wasn't gone...he dreamed of her still being there. He didn't want to think of her as being dead she wasn't herself when she was dead.

  7. Tim hates Bobby cause he is a horrible doctor. Tim got shot in the butt, and Bobby didn’t take care of Tim’s gunshot wound and now Tim hates him. Bobby is young, incompetent, and scared. Ti got him back by scaring him.

  11. Tim hates Bobby Jorgenson because he didn’t take care of Tim’s gunshot wound and he replaced rat Kiley as medic. Jorgenson is incapable of treating for shock, and the result is a harrowing, painful experience for O’Brien. He gets Azar help to get back at bobby Jorgenson. After a little pay back Tim tells Rat that he should quit but rat doesn't want to.

  12. Bobby Jorgenson replaced Rat Kiley as a medic. At the beginning of Bobby Jorgenson's time in the Vietnam War, Tim O'Brien got shot. Bobby Jorgenson was so afraid that he did not come to Tim O'Brien directly. Because he did not take care of him directly, Tim O'Brien had almost died because of shock.
    Furthermore he did not take care of Tim O'Brien's wound very good. That had the consequence that it good infected and Tim O'Brien had to leave the platoon for a long time, what made him feel alone, isolated from his friends.
