Chapter 2 Focusing on Friends
The conclusion Tesich made did not surprise me. He argues relationships between men and women. The ending with women was critical for him as well with the relationship he held with men. He touched upon women in the beginning and transitioned to male friends. Ending with women did not surprise me because he did not expand on his idea. Although the ending sentence as he will not look close-up but look at the background. He is saying to not look at the things focused on one thing, but step back to look at the whole picture. The ending intrigued me and did not surprise me. He went through many friends and had many stories Although he looked at the friends closely and did not look from the outside in to the whole picture of friendship.

I agree that it was critical to his argument to return back to the idea of woman friendships due to lack of expansion on the idea earlier in the text. I took that last sentence differently though. When he says he is going to, "free the woman I know, and myself from those merciless close-ups and have the background move", I took it as he was no longer going to treat these woman so fragile and dainty but instead give them equal treatment of his guy friends.
