Depictions+of+War

Compare and contrast the vision of war articulated in //Where Eagles Dare// with “The Things They Carried//."// Your essay should contain three or four body paragraphs, each with a discrete subject of comparison or contrast. The body paragraphs should of course all fall under a general thesis which is enunciated in the introductory paragraph.

2-3 pages, double spaced.

You should definitely refer to other texts we have studied or looked at, as well as other materials you think worthwhile. Examples:

-- other O'Brien stories -- //Apocalypse Now// clips -- websites reviewing WED such as Groucho.com and the comparison with Simon Esling' s art -- Quentin Tarantino / Robert Zemeckis conversation -- MacLean's novel (you can google books this or Amazon) -- AVForums.com review (useful for background/hearsay information and for reminders about some of the jokier quotations)

Make sure you cite these properly and include a Works Cited list at the end of your paper.
