Bellwork 9/18/12  Vietnam Facts  Please take out your homework. Record three facts from your neighbors about the Vietnam War.

“In war, there are no unwounded soldiers.” ~Jose Narosky 18 Sep. 2012

Time for a Little History…  Record the following in your Bellwork journal  Who: North Vietnam (Communist) vs. South Vietnam. France and U.S. were involved.  When: (Longest war U.S. has taken part)  Why & Why: North Vietnam tried to take over South Vietnam. Conflict started in Vietnam was a French Colony Vietnamese fought France for control of Vietnam.

More facts…  Why continued…  Vietnamese won control in  Vietnam was split into two countries—North and South  Civil war broke out.  Based on anti-Communist Cold War Policy of Harry Truman, U.S. sent aid to France and South Vietnam. Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, South Korea and Thailand also aided South Vietnam.  China and Soviet Union gave North Vietnam war materials, but not troops.

Impact of War  Military deaths = approximately 1.3 million  Divided Americans  Some supported war and fight against Communism  Others strongly protested war No risk to U.S. Felt U.S. supporting corrupt government  By 1967 many upset about war due to high cost and new taxes to support war. Gilbert, Marc Jason. “Vietnam War.” World Book Advanced. World Book, Web. 16 Sept

Impact Continued…  Draft  11 million enlisted or drafted into war  16 million evaded draft Legal—deferment, enroll in university, start a family and claim hardship, medical. Illegal—burn draft card, not enroll, run from US, desertion.  Gilbert, Marc Jason. “Vietnam War.” World Book Advanced. World Book, Web. 16 Sept  McCann, Jolene. "draft evasion." American Government. ABC-CLIO, Web. 18 Sept

Just Another War Story?  O’Brien blurs the lines of fact and fiction to tell his story.  Happening-truth vs. story truth (write this down!!) Happening-truth=facts as they happened Story-truth=emotional truth

Questions to Ask  How much can we trust the authenticity of this novel?  How important is it whether or not all the facts are true?  Why might this style be best suited for a book about war?

The Things They Carried  The language is, at times, crude, offensive, sexual, or shocking  The content is, at times, gory and disturbing  The emotions portrayed are deeply personal and often troubling  Discuss with maturity and sensitivity

Book Checkout  Please pick up a book and record your name and book number on the paper  If you think there is any damage or unusual wear on your book, record that in the condition column, please!  These need to be with you in class every day, please!
