Things_They_Carried

Things They Carried “What You Carry, Actually Carries You!” Imagine walking down the streets of Boston, where everyone was naked, who’s who, what are these strangers’ likes, dislikes’. Every one of us, each carry our own significant items and each one of those items shares a little peace of us with the rest of the world. The items we carry can show our backgrounds, our likes/dislikes’ and our personalities. Most people are proud of their culture and heritage, that is why many people carry significant items that express their backgrounds. “Kiowa, a devout Baptist, carries an illustrated New Testament that had been presented to him by his father.” (O’Brien 3). Kiowa is proud that his father has brought him up as a Baptist and wants to carry on his beliefs. Kiowa is much like my close friend, because he is proud of his family. This friend is so proud of his background that after his grandfather had passed away he tattooed his grandfather’s initials onto his wrist, he now carries on his families legacy until his own death. Most people are proud to show their backgrounds and always enjoy carrying something that displays their dignity. people, carry, show, items, world, proud, o’brien, just, interests, about, things, personalities, person, shows, selves, personality, one, kiowa, group, every, each, carries, backgrounds, yankees, wear, way, understand, time, tell, streets, significant, shirts, place, peoples, own
