At the Begining

At the begining, I seriously thought that this book was really lame. Yesterday was the very first time I touched the book. The first thing I did was looked at the cover, then think to myself, "Wow, I should really read this since I'm thinking about going into the Navy." Finally, I forced myself to read the very first chapter, " The Things They Carried."
This chapter was about all the materials that the soldiers brought with them to war. Some of the things that they carried was very heavy and useful. But some, it was just better left at home but I guess those things make them feel like their at home and that they are safe. There was a soldier that died in this chapter, his name is Ted Lavender. He was shot while taking a piss, I mean that is a sadly that he was in a sad position of his death.
Well, as of now, this book is interesting, I can't wait to read the next four chapters!
