What I got from page 10 is that the natives truly valued their religion more than anything else. What the Catholics wanted to do is brain wash them into thinking their way and believe what they do, but to them it wasn't brain washing they were trying to "save" the native people even though they ended up killing millions of them; men women and children, no one was spared.
The picture I chose was the cover picture because of how disrespectful it was for the inca king to be sitting on the ground rather than his throne. It is hipocracy what the Catholics did to them in the name of god.

The Things They Carried Final Essay
Lieutenant Jimmy Cross's "fictional" girlfriend Martha is what he describes as a beautiful girl who plays volleyball. He always keeps a picture of her in his pocket which keeps him distracted from being in war because he is in love. She only shows up in a few chapters though, but she had a lot of impact on Cross. Martha differs from Mary Anne only because Mary Anne became insane within a few weeks of being in Vietnam. Mary was a beautiful girl but her free spirited mind turned her into something else, by hanging with the Green Berets in their nasty bunker she completely defied what the perception of what a women is through the eyes of servicemen.
