The Pondering Mind
As I read "The Things They Carried," I thought to myself as to what would I bring with me if I were to be drafted to go to a was far away from home. If I were to be away from my home for a long amount of time, I would definitely miss alot of things. I wouldn't want to be seperated from all the things I have and all the people I know, but if I had to choose only thing to take with me, I would bring a picture of all my family and friends. I would bring this because it will give me hope and a reason to keep on fighting because of everything I left behind to come to this war. I must perservere and return to my home.

wow...great connection between the soldier's life and your own thoughts/feelings. The more you are able to see these connections, the more interesting and vivid of an experience your reading (and writing) will be. You have a brain that can find amazing connections all on its own.
