The Things They Carried

Well today was another fun filled day of conversation and ideas, but I again I didnt speak and I feel that the best way that I speak is here on the blog, but will try harder in class to project my voice and verbally share my thoughts. Anyways this reading I thought had nothing to do with war, I thought that it was all about the burdens that we carry in life and that all those things symbolized things in our lives that we have to think about. For example, the Bible was on thing that really stuck with me being that we all think about what is at the end for us and if religion is what we really need. The poncho the thing that they used as their homes, and it related to the things that our parents have to think about like a morgage and other things that come with a home. So really my insight on this story was actually what things they carried were linked to those things that in reality we really need to think about and burden our minds everyday as those things did the soliders in this short story.
