Answer one of the following questions in an essay of 8-12 paragraphs, incorporating specific references to at least four readings from the set. Properly attribute any summarized, quoted, or paraphrased material to its source with page numbers. Use only your reading set and a hard copy dictionary for key terms. Do not include outside sources, experiences, or course material.

Paper For Above instruction

The essay should address one of the two questions provided related to poetry and war. The first question asks how poems about World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War reflect the responsibilities assigned to poets by Jay Parini, particularly the role of poets to comment on the human condition in their times. The second question asks how poetry from these wars reflects each war's unique characteristics, as suggested by Paul Fussell, with a focus on the specific poetry and prose from the reading set.

Choose one question and develop a coherent, well-supported essay that critically analyzes the primary texts, connects them to the theoretical perspectives discussed by Parini or Fussell, and demonstrates a thorough understanding of the material. Ensure your essay has a clear introduction, body paragraphs with specific textual references, and a conclusion that synthesizes your insights. Proper citation of sources is essential to uphold academic integrity and the clarity of your argument.
