DQ1 DEATH IN WAR
Both Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried (pages 101–111) and Randall Jarrell’s Death of the Ball Turret Gunner (page 550) describe a death as a result of war. Yet each is remarkably different in the tone used to describe that death. What are the differences in tone between these two works? How do these differences affect what readers are to learn about the significance of death in war?
DQ2 GRIEF IN LITERATURE
Both Ben Jonson’s On My First Daughter (pages 550–551) and Seamus Heaney’s Mid-Term Break (page 697) are about reconciling oneself to the death of a child. How does each speaker reconcile himself to this death? Or does he reconcile? Does either speaker draw any significance from this death?
