t wouldn’t help Lavender, he knew that, but from this point on he would com-port himself as an officer. He would dispose of his good-luck pebble. Swallow it, maybe, or use Lee Strunk’s slingshot, or just drop it along the trail. On the march he would impose strict field discipline
letting go of the things that brings you piece adds on to stress, and i felt like thats why it was so hard for him to let it go
morning came up wet and blurry. Everything seemed part of everything else, the fog and
confusion in sense because things werent as normal

voicing her opinion

maji is outgrowing her childhood. she came to a point in her life where she became more knowledgeable
THE REVOLLIT IDM IS LIKE 4 BICWOLE . WHEN THE WHEELS DON’T TURN, IT FALLS
i agree with this statement
He remembered kissing her good night at the dorm door. Right then, he thought, he should’ve done something brave. He should’ve carried her up the stairs to her room and tied her to the bed and touched that left knee all night long. He should’ve risked it. Whenever he looked at the photographs, he thought of new things he should’ve done
isnt this what we would call wet dreaming lol very unusual but he's on base away from women in general
To carry something was to hump it, as when Lieutenant Jimmy Cross humped his love for Mar-tha up the hills and through the swamps. In its intransitive form, to hump meant to walk, or to march, but it implied burdens far beyond the intransitive.Almost everyone humped photographs.
and even now the support at home helps my aunty do her duties on base and off
1TIM O’BRIENTHE THINGS THEY CARRIED First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross carried letters from a girl named Martha, a junior at Mount Sebastian College in New Jersey. They were not love letters, but Lieutenant Cross was hoping, so he kept them folded in plastic at the bottom of his rucksack. In the late afternoon, after a day’s march, he would dig his foxhole, wash his hands under a canteen, unwrap the letters, hold them with the tips of his fingers, and spend the last hour of light pretending. He would imagine romantic camping trips into the White Mountains in New Hampshire. He would sometimes taste the envelope flaps, knowing her tongue had been there. More than anything, he wanted Martha to love him as he loved her, but the letters were mostly chatty, elusive on the matter of love.
some form or desire for affection is present
On my lasr full day, rhe sixth d:ry, che old man took tne out fishingon tlre Rainy Rive
the rainy river is probably what ties him to reality
its what he remembers clearly
O'Brien kid, how rhe damnedsissy had taken off for Canada. At night, when I couldn't sleep, Idsometime s carry on 6erce arguments with those people. I d be scream-ing at them, telling them how much I detested their blind, thoughtless,automatic acquiescence to it aIl, their simple minded patriotism, theirprideful ignorance, their love-it-or-Ieave-it pladrudes, how they weresending me offto 6ght awar they didn't undersrand and didn't wanr rounderstand
another internal conflict that he also inflicted on others when that battle between his mind started. it made him feel in control since he lost control of his own self

that self vs self conflict that creates this battle between the mind and the heart, weather to leave or stay. Brien explains feelings that at least all humans have encounter. he then took up and left. I don't know what changed but it shows a sense of dynamic
Ar some point in mid-July I beuan thinking seriously about Canada. 1of}e border lay a few hundred miles norrh, an eight-hour drive. Bochmy conscience and my insri'crs were telling ffre -ro make a break forit, just rake off and run like hell and never srop

that fear and panic that rushes to us with new comes like
s. Courage, I seemed to think, comes to us in6nite quantities, like an inheritance, and by being frugal and stashing itaway and letting it earn interest, we steadily increase our moral capitalin p''rsp2l"xtion for that day when the account must be drawn down
courage is something we inherit in a sense , its how we use it to push our self when the time is come to put it to use
by putting the factsdown on paper, I'm hoping to relieve at least some of the pressure on mydreams.
the way of hiding ones true emotions is to bury them in the imagination you can put out in paper
She saw him on his hands and knees as soon as she reached the door. He crept an inch or two toward her--all that he was able, and she saw his horribly swollen neck and his one open eye shining with hope
his deeds came back to bite him, and because delia has a pure heart she felt pity towards him
Then, moved by both horror and terror, she sprang back toward the door. There lay the snake in the basket! He moved sluggishly at first, but even as she turned round and round, jumped up and down in an insanity of fear, he began to stir vigorously. She saw him pouring his awful beauty from the basket upon the bed, then she seized the lamp and ran as fast as she could to the kitchen. The wind from the open doorblew out the light and the darkness added to her terror. S
he brings the snake to scare her, the snake represents the danger both her husband skyes bring and to the danger a snake brings as well. and skyes oppresses delia through fear and this toxic masculinity of being a man
"Dat niggah wouldn't fetch nothin' heah tuh save his rotten neck, but he kin run thew whut Ah brings quick enough. Now he done toted off nigh on tuh haff uh box uh matches. He done had dat 'oman heah in mah house, too."
he wont do nothing but disrespect delia but gives everything to that other female
Ah'm goin' tuh de white folks bout you, mah young man, de very nex' time you lay yo' han's on me. Mah cup is done run ovah." Delia said this with no signsof fear and Sykes departed from the house, threatening her, but made not the slightest move to carry out any of them.
deila shows signs that she's fed up, she's tired of the things skyes is doing and she is ready to put her foot down without fear
Delia pushed back her plate and got up from the table. "Ah hates you, Sykes," she said calmly. "Ah hates you tuh de same degree dat Ah useter love yuh. Ah done took an' took till mah belly is full up tuh mah neck. Dat's de reason Ah got mah letter fum de church an' moved mah membership tuh Woodbridge--so Ah don't haf tuh take no sacrament wid yuh. Ah don't wantuh see yuh 'roun' me atall. Lay 'roun' wid dat 'oman all yuh wants tuh, but gwan 'way fum me an' mah house. Ah hates yuh lak uh suck-egg dog.
a first insight of delias true conflicted emotions, she believes that with all she endured and with all the things skyes as did he still pushes her to the limit where she now hates him a much as she claims she love him
Delia drove past on her way home, as Sykes was ordering magnificently for Bertha. It pleased him for Delia to see.
skyes wanted to make delia jealous
Where did Syke Jones git da 'oman from nohow?" Lindsay asked
lol we call a man with a different women everything a gyalis back in the Caribbean
e money was quickly subscribed and the huge melon brought forth. At that moment, Sykes and Bertha arrived. A determined silence fell on the porch and the melon was put away agai
ouu . ore so an elephant in the room that adds to how ego, in a bad way.. in my opinion their is only an elephant because they know how skyes operate with his wife and other .
Clarke spoke for the first time. "Taint no law on earth dat kin make a man be decent if it aint in 'im. There's plenty men dat takes a wife lak dey do a joint uh sugar-cane. It's round, juicy an' sweet when dey gits it. But dey squeeze an' grind, squeeze an' grind an' wring tell dey wring every drop uh pleasure dat's in 'em out. When dey's satisfied dat dey is wrung dry, dey treats 'em jes lak dey do a cane-chew. Dey throws em away. Dey knows whut dey is doin' while dey is at it, an' hates theirselves fuh it but they keeps on hangin' after huh tell she's empty. Den dey hates huh fuh bein' a cane-chew an' in de wa
a man gon do what he wants because its based on his upbringing. a women cannot change a man or force a man to be 'decent" they have to do it on their own
"Syke Jones aint wuth de shot an' powder hit would tek tuh kill 'em. Not to huh he aint. "
opinions on their relationship is out there, everybody can see that theirs no stability
week was as full of work for Delia as all other weeks, and Saturday found her behind her little pony, collecting and delivering clothes.
workaholic, she has no free time. i would expect this from a man point of view, especially growing up knowing that all the heavier work load the man in a marriage takes care of it
Sometime or ruther, Sykes, like everybody else, is gointer reap his sowing." After that she was able to build a spiritual earthworks against her husband. His shells could no longer reach her. Amen. She went to sleep and slept until he announced his presence in bed by kicking her feet and rudely snatching the covers away.
shes kinda fearless and or scarred
Delia's habitual meekness seemed to slip from her shoulders like a blown scarf. She was on her feet; her poor little body, her bare knuckly hands bravely defying the strapping hulk before her.
as a female she is initial to do all the work even though she has a marriage partner
Don't gimme no lip neither, else Ah'll throw 'em outand put mah fist up side yo' head to boot.
my grandma use to tell us something when me and my cousins use to talk back to her lol
e snorted scornfully. "Yeah, you just come from de church house on a Sunday night, but heah you is gone to work on them clothes. You ain't nothing but a hypocrite. One of them amen-corner Christians--sing, whoop, and shout, then come home and wash white folks clothes on the Sabbath.
on sabbath it should only be for god meaning that its a day you shouldn't really be working that dedicated to god .
the book has religion all through tit and it emphasizes on how relationship with god impact they're ations

She lifted her eyes to the door and saw him standing there bent over with laughter at her fright. She screamed at hi
