3 Readings due May 24th

Farmer Nguyen by W.D. Ehrhart, Massacre at My Lai by Hugh Thompson, and A Nun at Ninh Hoa by Jan Berry

What do these two poems and the article say about the impact of the war on the native Vietnamese?

They say that the Vietnamese were put in the middle of this war. People said that they had given information to us, but they didn't, and other things like that. They were treated very unfairly by people fighting a war in their villages.

Can you think of any other ways in which the war will impact the native Vietnamese?

The Vietnamese could be told to join the Army, and if they didn't consequences could be imposed on them. Things like that might happen that are completely unfair, but nobody can do anything about them.
