The CliffsNotes version for "The Things They Carried" has all the standard CliffsNotes information in it. I found it definitely helped me notice the larger themes and meta fictional writing which enhanced my reading. The novel uses a complicated form with the fictional author having the same name as the actual author. Being able to read the CliffsNotes helped me notice and understand that better.
The character analysis also helped me to understand what the character's themselves represent in the novel (a basic example is the loss of innocence portrayed in the Mary Ann character).
