The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien gives readers a look into the casualties of war through not only O'Brien's eyes, but he manages to bring out the thoughts of other men who were embroiled in the war with him.

If you were to be shipped out to unknown places within the next 24 hours, what would you carry in a knapsack on your back? Why would you take it with you? Be very descriptive and clear, so your peers can get a sense of what you would carry and why.

Respond to two (2) peers' posts this week.

(1) The writing is a daunting process; one in which few students really engage into correctly. Through your 3-week process, you have been learning more about your own writing process and preferences. Take a moment to reflect upon your process and share some techniques you employ in order to maintain time management and work through difficulties. Also, note some habits which you may want to try to improve.

(2) As your writing process nears to a close, you are continuing to prepare for the oral presentation. Discuss how you will prepare for your presentation and what you think makes an awesome presentation/presenter.

Please separate your posts as is done above. 
Be sure to respond to a minimum of one (1) person during the discussion.
