Imagine you’re a soldier in the jungles of Vietnam. Like all soldiers, you carry at least 30 pounds of equipment with you as you trudge across the country; this does not include personal items, such as photographs or chewing gum. Every personal thing you bring adds to the heavy weight on your shoulders. Given that knowledge, describe five personal items you would carry with you to remind you of home, ease your nerves, and simply make your situation more bearable. Explain the significance each item holds for you.

The Vietnam War comes across as highly disorganized in this story: the soldiers have “no sense of strategy or mission” and search villages “without knowing what to look for.” How would you feel if you were a soldier thrust into this situation in a foreign country? How would it make you feel about your military – and its regard for your life? 7-8 sentences

Martha is firm but vague when she talks with Cross at their college reunion. Neither Cross nor we really learn what is driving her. Given what she says to him in their brief conversations, invent a “back story” for Martha. What has happened to her? What did Cross mean to her when she was younger? Write Martha’s story in at least half a page.

O’Brien partly wants to avoid the draft by fleeing to Canada, but he hates to think of losing the life he has built in America. He fears losing not only his parents’ nearby presence, but his parents’ respect. Put yourself in O’Brien’s place. The war is now. You need to flee tonight for Canada, into the unknown, perhaps losing your family and friends forever – or be shipped out in the morning to Vietnam, where conditions are horrific and you know you may easily lose your life. What will you, personally (not as O’Brien), do? Describe your decision and explain what made you arrive at it.

Strunk and Jensen make a pact: if one of them gets a wound so serious that it will leave him a wheelchair, the other will quickly and quietly end the wounded man’s life. If you were fighting in a war, would you enter into such a pact? How extreme would a wound have to be for you to want to die rather than live with it. 7-8 sentences
