In "The Things They Carried," each character carries physical and emotional burdens that represent their past and present experiences in the Vietnam War. Some defining objects include Lt. Cross's letters from Martha, Kiowa's Bible, Rat Kiley's medical kit, Ted Lavender's tranquilizers, and Norman Bowker's thumb of his deceased friend Kiowa. Each object serves as a symbol of the weight of their memories, fears, and responsibilities during the war.
