Focusing on Friends

 What Steve Tesich wrote about in his essay was true in the sense that guys don't actually talk about how much they mean to each other. Girls come right out and say how much they mean to each other along with girls to guys or guys to girls it is the same way. The qualities you share with your close guy friends are just having fun and laughing. Then whenever a guy talks to a girl they care about they talk about deeper stuff and how they actually feel. You behave differently with different friends because they are different relationships that you guys share. The scene where they pretend to fly to America in that truck shows imagination as a child with a friend. We all have had experiences as a child with imagination there are countless stories. As you grow older you lose that imagination and people change, relationships change. Then at the end of the essay he talks about how he is gonna free the women he knows, which I think he means he is gonna be more open with his friends on how much they actually mean to him. He puts that at the end and tells stories of his three friends in the body paragraphs to kind of show how he actually cares about them but doesn't know how to tell them.
