The class text is a postmodern account of the experiences had by soldiers in Vietnam. We will journal, reflect, discuss, and annotate this text for postmodernism and its concept of "truth." We will also examine a variety of themes specific to individual chapters. The final assessments for this unit will be an individual, closed note test, and a graded discussion (notes and texts allowed). We will not be doing literature circles for this text.
