Read Nam Le’s short story as well as the other assigned reading.
Le references the My Lai massacre that took place during the Vietnam War. Consider the two assigned readings for this module: How do events of the war inform the relationship between father and son? How does the Le’s story comment upon issues of wartime trauma and racial/ethnic identity? Specifically, in what ways do you think past issues/concepts that we’ve discussed in prior modules are echoed in the story? As with other assignments, avoid general statements and integrate specific quotes with references as well.
