“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.
