In "The Things They Carried," each character carries physical and emotional burdens that represent their past and present experiences in the Vietnam War. Some defining objects include Lt. Cross's letters from Martha, Kiowa's Bible, Rat Kiley's medical kit, Ted Lavender's tranquilizers, and Norman Bowker's thumb of his deceased friend Kiowa. Each object serves as a symbol of the weight of their memories, fears, and responsibilities during the war.
Norman Bowker carries a thumb that he took from a dead Viet Cong soldier as a keepsake of the war. The thumb symbolizes his experiences in the Vietnam War and serves as a reminder of the violence and trauma he faced. Carrying the thumb also represents Bowker's inability to let go of the past and move forward with his life.
