Posted by tljohnston on Sunday September 6, 2009 at 3:14 PMThere is a point in the story when the war had not yet changed anything for Tim. He was still continuing life as usual. The only changes were stories about a war in the newspaper and conversations in the tavern. Sam was gone, but he just as easily could have been off at college, not war.
