Here are the discussion questions for tomorrow. As always, please answer the questions on your own blog, but this time by 11:00 am tomorrow (I’ve given you a little more time tomorrow because these are late getting up).
- In Chapter One of Regarding the Pain of Others, how does Sontag link the perception of war to other concepts?
- In the poem “Eastern War Time,” Adrienne Rich portrays a lot of vivid scenes about different people. Which one do you think is the best representation of the war images? And, how are these descriptions of other people, such as the driving woman of sixty, related to the main character, the Jewish girl?
- How would you describe the war through the eyes of a school girl, and what does the author mean when she states, “memory says want to do it right? Don’t count on me.”
