On Monday we will begin our unit on The Things They Carried, a memoir about a first-hand account of the Vietnam War. Before we begin reading, it is important that we learn about the Vietnam War to better understand the novel and engage the larger question of: Why did the Vietnam War occur?
Respond to the following:
Most of you were young children when 9/11 occurred, so for the majority of your lives the United States has been at war or involved in international conflicts and/or occupations of countries around the world. Given this reality, respond to the following:
* What are your thoughts and beliefs about war?
* Do you feel that the United States should ever be involved in war?Why? Why not?
* What do you know about the Vietnam War?
Your response to this blog post is due by Saturday, April 16.
