Assignment#24

I went to the Tim O'Brien speech last night. There were a lot of people who were of different ages in the Stubblefield center. He is famous in the United States. He is a novelist and he published books. He introduced himself. I almost didn’t understood what he said and I don’t understand yet. I could understand each of the words. I think he talked about　patriotism, his book, his family and maybe the Vietnam War.  He told us a story about his kids. His book is called The Things They Carried. He was sent to Vietnam and he took part in war. He is still not sure if going to the war was right to do. He said “I’m not used to speaking in public.” But I think he is used to speaking in public! Many people laughed at his speech. I can’t understand why people laughed. So I want to be able speak well like him.
