i choose "the things they carried"in this story , he describes a group of soldiers through Vietnam war. he describes items that each of the soliders carried with eachother during the war .Each soldier carried things that represent their personality and belief and things they needed to provide them with safety. they carried medals according to there ranks. as a first lieutenant platoon leader carries a compass, maps, code books, light weight items. as a big man there fore they carried machine guns, because they werre able to handle the weight. they also carried pressure of war, dignity, memories of there families.
the most interesting charcter would have to be kiowa. Kiowa is a Baptist and a very religious person out of all the characters in the story. He carried a couple of material with him, such as a New Testament bible that was given to him by his father, and he also carried his grandfather old featherd hatchet. Emotionally and mentally he carried his grandmother’s distrust towards the white men. Kiowa is a straight up and honest solider, and being such a person made his comment towards Lavender’s death seem a bit cruel.
