Today i've read "The Things They Carried". I thought it was very interesting at the chapter love. Like before it, Jimmy Cross blamed himself for his friend Lavendar's death, so later, he started this fire and threw a picture of Martha's volleyball picture into it. Then years later in the chapter called "Love" it was somewhat of a sweet yet not so sweet ending. Like Jimmy's friend who went to Vietnam with him, came to visit him and they started talking about the days back when they were in Vietnam. Then later they reveil that Jimmy had the same picture he threw in the fire but he met Martha at a reunion after he got back from Vietnam and he says that he's still in love with her.
