Prompt # 6

Lt. Jimmy Cross is a great example because he so in love with Martha he could not focus on the war nor his soldiers.

Even when Lavender died, his mind was still wondering off about Martha.

Prompt # 2

When reading, The Things They Carried, I believe it was true. The way I would explain this is something like a movie where the directors try to point out all major events. In this book you will be left wondering is this really true or is something he wanted to throw in to get his reader off track. I would tell the class not to pay attention to the big events that happen throughout this book because to me he is trying to keep his reader reading so something has to happen extraordinary. They should pay attention to the small events.

Prompt # 1

Precious is a recent a movie based on a true story.
