Essay 4 assignment
Category: 4E: O'Brien | Mark Phillipson
Write a structured, argumentative essay about Tim O’Brien’s Going After Cacciato. You may concentrate solely on GAC, or compare an element of it to any text we’ve read in this class.
To be safe, make sure your argument is clearing up a mystery, illuminating a subtle cause of events, or mounting a surprising defense or condemnation of a character.
As always, I invite you to come up with your own topic. Some topics that might work particularly well with GAC, and/or could set up nice comparisons:
- Stories-within-stories
- Passports and identities
- Desertion
- Sexual sterility
- Camaraderie
- Fantasy and avoidance
- Signs of America displaced
