In the things they carried how did Tim O' Brien meet Curt Lemon?


Rate This Answer

While I cannot find a description of what Curt Lemon was carrying in the book The Things They Carried, I do find a detailed summary of Curt; A good friend of Rat Kiley who dies after stepping on a rigged land mine. In one of the book's more disturbing scenes, Tim and Norman Bowker help to clear the trees of Curt's scattered remains, during which Jensen sings Lemon Tree. After Lemon dies, Kiley writes a long, eloquent letter to Lemon's sister describing his friendship with Lemon and emphasizing how good a person Lemon was. Lemon's sister never responds, which crushes Kiley emotionally. ChaCha!
