5/21/20

Today you should be reading ch. 1 of The Things They Carried for Cossano.

Optional Zoom meeting today at 1:00 pm. Come ready to discuss your thoughts on the questions below: (And bring any questions you have so far!)

  • What really pulled us in to Vietnam? Why did we think it was a good idea? Were we justified in getting involved?
  • Do you understand what Communism is?
  • What stood out to you about what this war is like so far?
  • What U.S. actions surprised you?
  • What does the government secrecy (which we will hear more about next week) tell us about the motives for the war?
  • How do you feel about the draft? Should people be forced to fight in a foreign war that they do not support?
