Frienemies

“The Things They Carried” is a book written by Tim O’Brien. The chapters in this book tell stories; some of them are true some of them are not. The author of the book mixed memories and stories that had happen to him and by that he makes his audience to wonder whether if the stories are true or just making up stories. “Enemies” and “Friends” are two chapters that can be compare and contrast by the irony that both chapters have. In the “Enemies” chapter two good friends, Lee Strunk and Dave Jensen, have a fistfight because of a missing jackknife and one of them gets injured. In the other hand, “Friends” is the chapter where Strunk and Jensen made a pact and become closer friends, forgetting everything about the fistfight.
