15.Journal Entry - "Field Trip"

I think its cool that Tim O'Brien takes his daughter back to the places that he fought even though she doesn't fully understand everything now I think she will come to appreciate it with time. Im actualy surprised that she even was that interested to go on the trip. If I was her I would have wanted nothing to do with it because growing up I was a very shy girl and often didn't want to particiapte in activites. However I wish that maybe I had been exposed to other things like that because its experiences like that that shape our personalities and who we are. Im more outgoing now and everything but its only because I was forced to do things and joined clubs and such to get myself here. Tim is doing the right thing by bringing his daughter to the memories of his past time and telling and showing her the experiences that he endured. Its not longer just a story for Kathleen, it's reality.
