"Notes"

Information: This chapter is about the "speaking of courage". It tells the story of Norman Bowker, and how he felt like he had died in Vietnam, but didn't. Also how he felt like he needed someone to talk to, but perhaps couldn't find the words to say anyways. After Norman reads O'Briens "If I Die In The Combat Zone" he asks if O'Brien could write a novel including a story about a man who feels like he died in the way, but never did. O'Brien does this and titles his chapter "Speaking Of Courage". But Norman feels like O'Briens chapter makes him out to look selfish and cowardly. Norman cannot cope with his loss of sanity after Vietnam, and hangs himself.
