“Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow...” Lawrence Clark Powell 9 Oct. 2012

Bellwork10/9/12  You have 15 minutes to finish your orange worksheet from yesterday applying O’Brien’s “True War Story” recipe to “Song Tra Bong”.  If you have finished yesterday’s work, please start reading “Speaking of Courage” & “Notes.”

“Song Tra Bong” Guided Formalist Analysis  Find a partner.  Using any 10 of the 12 rules “True War Story” rules we identified in class on Friday, complete the chart on the orange sheet.  On a separate sheet of paper, answer the following questions:  Does “Song Tra Bong” meet O’Brien’s criteria for a “true” war story?  Is this story is a happening-truth or a story-truth war story. Why?

True War Story Recipe  A true war story is never moral.  A true war story does not instruct.  A true war story is both obscene and evil.  A true war story embarrasses you.  In a true war story, it’s hard to tell what happened from what seemed to happen.  A true war story cannot be believed.  A true war story never seems to end.  A true war story does not generalize.  A true war story makes the stomach believe.  A true war story nothing is ever absolutely true.  A true war story can be told by the questions it makes you ask.  A true war story is never about war.

Discussion Etiquette  Mr. Farland says it best!..\..\Discussion Etiquette\Discussion etiquette.doc  Take out a piece of notebook paper and your novel so you’re ready to jot down ideas, reflect, and find passages we discuss  Write 1 goal you have for today’s small group discussion.  Leave room to answer the questions on the next slide.

Group Discussion  Identify themes/purpose of story for “The Man I Killed,” “Ambush,” and “The Sweetheart of Song Tra Bong.”  What similarities can you find between the man O’Brien killed and O’Brien himself?  What is the purpose of the ending of “Ambush”  What is the purpose of the transformation of Mary Anne in “Sweetheart of Song Tra Bong?”

Homework:  Read “Speaking of Courage” & “Notes”  Write two discussion questions on Index card  One from “Speaking of Courage” & “Notes”  Questions should encourage discussion—refer back to the Formalist Perspective questions in your Bellwork Journal—not yes or no/short answer questions. (see examples below) What is the purpose of…. Why did O’Brien include…
