Fussell explains how soldiers were subject to the arbitrary power that could make their lives miserable
Analyzing Paul Fussell’s Text (Prompt 1)
Write a 2.5-3-page paper on one of the prompts below.
Your paper must use at least six specific examples from at least three different chapters. This is a one source paper. Only use the book Wartime. Do not include additional sources.
Use page number citations for direct quotes and also for specific references!!!! This is how you cite sources:
Example 1: Fussell explains how soldiers were subject to the arbitrary power that could make their lives miserable. They called it “chickenshit.” “Chickenshit can be recognized instantly because it never has anything to do with winning the war.” (80)
Example 2: Fussell explains how soldiers had to put up with “chickenshit.” By this he means the petty rules and indignities that don’t really help win the war. (80)
In the first example I directly quoted so I used a page number reference. In the second example, I paraphrased his idea, but I still use a page number reference
