The books tone also includes romance, which Kluger included through T.C. and Alejandra and their love hate relationship. I think intriguing would be the best word to define this book because the author made the reader wanting more, to see what happens next every time the students had one of their situations. One major example of this would be when T.C. discovers he is in love with Alejandra and writes her a note telling her he was interested in starting a relationship.
He emphasizes the importance of a mother-son relationship and the effect of family morals. The two epiphanies are intertwined, however, they are different. Neil is experiencing his revelation directly in the story, because his mother is shying away from him. The reader is experiencing the revelation from an outside view, so we can see the bigger picture, and why Neil and Barbara’s relationship is diminishing.

As an audience we trust Knightley’s judgement as he foreshadows many of Emma’s mistakes from early on in the novel. When he becomes aware of Emma and Harriet’s friendship he speaks of it as a “bad thing” and that “ neither of them will do the other any good”, and is outraged when he learns of Emma’s encouragement of Harriet to turn down Mr Martin’s proposal. It is apparent then, that Mr Knightley plays an important role in Emma’s transformation, by Mr knightly’s rhetorical question ‘how could you be so unfeeling to Miss Bates?” she gains knowledge not to ridicule those below her.

The focus of the first chapter of The Things They Carried focus on the things they carried and why they carried those things; whether it was out of necessity, for good luck, or because of love and the need for hope. It is said that Jimmy Cross carried letters written by the girl he loves, but she doesn’t feel the same love he does “They were signed Love, Martha, but Lieutenant Cross understood that Love was only a way of signing and did not mean what he sometimes pretended it meant.” It is ironic the way the letters that he carries, “The letters weighed for ounces”, are his way of believing the unbelievable that Martha may love him how he loves her. The irony in this is that his name is cross a symbol, or letter, that is a commonly associated with Christians and their belief in God. It is as if he is and will remain throughout the book a believer of unbelievable possibilities. “Ted Lavender, who was scare, carried tranquilizers”.
