Friendship is one of the greatest things people can have in life. Friends help each other through the bad times and are their to celebrate the good times. You find out who your real friends are when times get rough and who is their for you. Friends are the family you get to choose, and if you choose them right they can be the one thing you can always count on. I have the best friends and they have been real and been there for me since the beginning. In The Things They Carried in the very first chapter when one of their friends died it showed friendship when they were all stunned by the sight of his dead body.  

Relationships are a big part of life, and the way you interact with others. You relationship with everyone: parents, friends, peers, teachers, bosses, teammates all affect you. You want good relationships with, in my opinion, the people that matter. If someone isn’t kind to you, if its not important to you, you don’t have to be kind back, but that may kick you in the butt later. You should respect everyone. Especially people with higher authority then you. You have to show respect to your teachers, parents, elders, bosses, coaches, whomever it may be. The same goes in the war as shown in The Things They Carried, if you have good relationships with the people in higher class you may get moved up. But the good relationships that the soliders have with each other show when they have each other’s backs.

The Things I Carry

   

                            I carry quite a lot of things in my bag I bring to school. I always carry a water bottle with me I have to. I have a bunch of little things in my bag that I use on the daily. I have a few pencils and i always have my headphones, I love listening to music it's easier me to focus on my work if I zone out to music while doing it. I have to have some sort of chap stick in my bag, I love this lip balm that I have in there right now, I always am carrying that with me. I can't stand having chapped lips its one of my pet peeves. I always have my phone on me, I feel like every teenager does, its pretty much always in my hand. Most of the time I have my iPod on me too, I'm practically addicted to listening to music, it makes everything better for me, and helps me get my mind off of things. I like to carry gum. I don't have it all the time but its nice to have because Im always eating food so I need it.  I always carry the book we are reading in lit. right now, The Things They Carry, i read that whenever we have free time. I have a big notebook, that I always carry, its blue and it has five different sections, I use it for all of my classes. My mac, I always have my mac in my bag, I use it in every class.
