Ladies, get... - bowls and dish up some porridge. - And you? - Did you sort out your drama? - Namhla, what have you done now? Nothing. It's just boy drama. Will you tell us who the boy is?

I don't want to know what people your age do. I want to know if you're doing the right things. Grandma is right - you must bring Yonke around and we meet him. - But... - No buts! Do you want me to come home one day and find you pregnant? You either bring him here and we meet him, or I'll go and get him.

That's the surgery. But it is a fundamental transition. I'm ready for it. Look... I know you read about hormone therapy, but I need you to understand... how great the changes will be. You'll grow breasts, get curves, you'll lose muscle tone... - Are you trying to argue me out of this? - No. I'm trying to emphasise how big the change will be. And then there are the very real emotional changes you'll go through. I know. Your brain chemistry changes. It'll be a roller coaster while the body adjusts. You'll experience strange and new emotions. I get it, but it's what I want. I've thought about it all, and... Have you thought about saving your sperm? - What? - The hormones will make you infertile... and then the surgery... So if you ever wanted a child of your own... Okay, then I haven't thought of everything. Best save your sperm, then. Keep the option open. I... Wow. I guess I've just been focused on the transition... I hadn't thought about what comes afterwards. I mean... I'll be living... as a woman. - That is the plan, right? - Yes! Yes, I'm going to be a woman. Maybe with a family... maybe a child...

In the story written by Tim O’Brien called “The Things They Carried”, he tells a story set during a war about the evolution of young soldiers as their mindset is affected by what they see and feel. The soldiers each carry physical and emotional weights that allow them to keep their humanity but in war, the same things that are valued in the outside world become a distraction and potentially fatal. While Martha is not physically fighting the mind with them she is subconsciously in the mind of Lieutenant Cross. Martha represents everything war is not, she represents innocence, love, and affection, that to him is a way to get away from what’s going on around him. Martha is described as a very artistic person; she is a junior at Saint Sebastian college and in the letters Lieutenant cross carries with him she writes in a very beautiful way about trivial things like her professors, roommates and her midterm exams.

This paper will employ close visual analysis of two 15th-century Renaissance reliefs from Florence depicting the Virgin Mary and Jesus Chris in order to show how these artists used innovative
