Answer:

<u>Option c. In "The Things They Carried", the weight of the soldiers' gear is a recurring motif.</u>

Explanation:

"The Things They Carried" is a compilation of connected short-stories written by American author Tim O'Brien that was first published on May 28th, 1990. it tells the story about Tim's personal experience during the Vietnam War, as well as his recollections of other soldier's stories. In the different short-stories one of the recurring motifs is the weight of the soldiers' gear. O'Brien is not only physically describing item by item that the soldiers had to carry with them at all times, and the burden it meant, but is also using the gear's weight as a symbol of the psychological weight and burden the war had on every soldier, and how heavy it felt to be in that circumstance.

Plz helppppp<br><br>introduction about people changed the world<br>its an short essay btw​
Alja [10]

“I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world.” That was a quote by Tupac Shakur, a poet, and an inspiration. What does it mean to 'change the world'? Changing the world is the most politically correct term to use, as its literal meaning is the same as its metaphorical one, so there's no confusion. Just by being on Earth, at any given moment, and doing something or even nothing we are already changing the world.
