Off to War...

How would you feel about going off to war at just 18 years old? Do you think you would sign up voluntarily, or no? If the draft was put into place again, how would you react? Would you want to run? If you were going off to war today and you were allowed to bring any three things, what would they be, and why would you bring them?

Please have this reflection (10 pts) written in your notebook for Fri., January 9, 2015!!!

 All Quiet on the Western Front is told from the point of view of a young German soldier during WWI. Please have chapter 1 read and the worksheet (25 pts) completed for THURS., JAN. 8th.
