From the second six chapters my favorite chapter was "how to tell a true war story". In this chapter O'Brien tells us that there are specific characteristics on how to tell a true war story including:- "You can tell a true war story if it embarrasses you"
"A true war story cannot be believed", "You can tell a true war story by the way it never seems to end", "A war story, if truly told, makes the stomach believe","You can tell a true war story by the questions you ask", and "a true war story is never about war". Those characteristics start to define "The Things They Carried". This chapter helps the reader to understand the story.
