Read "Why We Fight" and respond to the following on Google Classroom:
1. Define your interpretation of the "cult of the uniform" and whether or not you think it is real.
2. How is the view of the "hero" in Why We Fight different from how heroes would have been viewed in Anglo Saxon times?
3. Do you agree or disagree with the overall point of the essay? Emotional connections aside (family/friends in military, etc.) how would you respond, especially to paragraphs 3 and 4?
4. How do you think this author would explain/respond to the Beowulf/Epic Hero archetype? How would he differentiate between the mythological "hero" and the real-life hero?
5. Kind of a bonus question, but... see if you can find a good song about heroes, or a specific hero. I mean actually good. Case in point, I just looked up the lyrics to Mariah Carey's song "Hero" and it is awful. It reads like a poem written by an 8 year old. See if you can find something better.

English 10H: Went over Fahrenheit short answer test. No makeups on Monday if you haven't taken it yet. I think one person asked about that (AC?) but it's not going to work, sorry. Respond to prompt on Google Classroom and turn in. For Monday, pick two of the practice paragraphs you have done steps 1 and 2 for, one from the character side and one from the theme side. Complete steps 3 and 4 for each. You must use two examples and explain each (123434/ Idea-explain-example-explain-example-explain)
