Choose ONE question to answer in your own post

The author Tim O'Brien chooses to have Rat Kiley tell the story of Mary Anne. How does that choice change the way we read and understand her story? How might it have changed if it was told from her perspective? What word choice does Tim O'Brien use to illustrate the expectations of women in the 1960's (think about clothing, behavior, and relationships with men). How does his word choice change our understanding of the story? How does Tim O'Brien use the character of Mary Anne to challenge the idea of a woman's place in society? How does that choice change our reading of the novel?
