Tim O'Brien, In The Lake of the Woods, Second Assignment

Make sure you have done the first assignment. If you haven't, I won't accept this one.

Go to my Tim O'Brien Talk page. Read

• his essay "The Vietnam In Me", from the New York Times in 1994.
• "PLAUSIBILITY OF DENIAL: Tim O'Brien, My Lai, and America", by H. Bruce Franklin of Rutgers University/Newark Campus.

How, specifically, do these essays make you think differently about the novel than you did after reading it, but before reading them?

Write 300 words; email to your group and to me.

Print out this article, as well as your HW assignment. Bring both to class with you.
