my glass case and my books are the two items i chose to be the most important item to me because, they explain more about me. especially, my glasses shows my smartness when I put them on and my books shows my seriousness when it comes to my education. i think these items are similar to Kiowa's hunting hatchet because, even though it a weapon he could use for protection, it's a way for him to have a connection to his ancestors
