Fantastic interview--Tim O'Brien and Nate Fick

We watched this interview in English 11 class, since we're reading The Things They Carried. In it, Tim O'Brien (veteran of the Vietnam War and author of The Things They Carried and many other books) and Nate Fick (veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and author of One Bullet Away), discuss the meaning of truth and war. They talked to an AP class in Washington, D.C.




 Folks who were absent from class on Tuesday, January 8: watch the video, starting 27 minutes in, and then check out the homework post from yesterday for your assignment.
