Tuesday - Period 3

Our study of The Running Man will start today.  To understand the identity of Tom Leyton you need to read/view each of the texts below.  You are looking at how Vietnam veterans are represented in texts.  In particular you need to focus on the following questions for EACH text:

1. How does the text represent Vietnam veterans?
2. What techniques are effective in achieving this representation? (eg figurative language, colloquial language, emotive language, jargon, persona/point of view, visual techniques)
3. What does the text suggest are the effects of having fought in Vietnam?

Writing Task:  Using these ideas, then compose a paragraph on your Weebly that outlines how you believe Vietnam veterans are stereotyped.
