Homework for Tuesday, 11.20.

According to the group you were in today in class, investigate your assigned plot line from "How to Tell a True War Story." Answer the corresponding questions in your notebook . Refer to at least three specific passages from the text. Come to class prepared to discuss. Additionally, remember that there will be a homework check of your character maps.
  1. First plot line: Curt Lemon.
    • Make a chart that shows how many different versions there are.
    • How do the versions overlap? How do they differ?
    • What are the implications of each version? (In other words, for each version, assuming it were the only telling we had, what would it mean? What would it imply about the characters, the situation or the truth implied?)
  1. Second plot line: Listening Patrol.
    • Why does this plot line belong in this story? How does it relate?
Lastly, I will return all pending homework back to you no later than noon this Wednesday (if not sooner). This includes the following:
  • Grammar Quiz retakes.
  • "The Things You Carry."
  • Vignette series and artistic bonus.
Thank you for your patience.
