Each story in the book presents us with a new direction on how human mind deal with situations like death, life, war and friendship, but no story struck me as quite hard as "Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong". One of the main character is "Mary Anne Bell" who O'Brien uses as an example to develop his theme on how a human nature changes while reacting to different cultural, physical or environmental factors.
In the book A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, my favorite character is Owen Meany. I admire the way he cares about his friends and is willing to do anything for them.
