The Things They Carried "The Dentist" pg 82-84

    In the chapter "The Dentist" O'Brian has troubles getting overs Curt Lemons death and reminds himself about Curt Lemons profound fear of the dentist.

"He seemed a little dazed.  Now and then we could hear him cussing, bawling himself out.  Anyone else would've laughed it off, but for Curt Lemon it was too much.  The embarrassment must've turned a screw in his head."

    This quote is talking about how all the soldiers made fun of Lemon for his fear of the dentist and this bullying led him to force himself to go to the dentist to get a tooth pulled that didn't need to be pulled.
