literature
One technique O’Brien employs is zeugma, in which one word has more than one (often incongruous) object. For example, he writes in paragraph $12$, “They carried all they could bear, and then some, including a silent awe for the terrible power of the things they carried.” Look for other examples of zeugma in the story. Do you see any pattern in how O’Brien uses zeugma? In particular, consider how O’Brien explots the incongruity of zeugma in order to develop one of the themes of the story.
