Going After Cacciato.3

Dr O'Brien's class was enlightening, uplifting, and most importantly, captured my interest into this novel even more so than it had previously. Having read this book with my cousin, Charlie, a Vietnam vet and a post-war junkie, I saw the rough, hard-edged, nothing good in life side of Vietnam though these books. I saw the desperation and the utter sense of lost that permeated every father and son's mind. However, through Dr O'Brien, I was able to see something else through the stories he told, hes testimony though the war, and now what he has done with his life. His story was inspiring in a bright way, seeing God through the terror and the lost. Using and relying on God through the fear and the pain. Having heard both stories of the war first hand has given me not only a sense of the war and the novel itself, but also of life and the inner workings of human beings themselves.
