Your Opinion on the War
Work on your own.
Imagine you are a reporter. But unlike Fowler you want to take sides.
Write an article of approximately 150 words about the situation in Vietnam in the 1950s. Use one of the quotes below in your article.
Be prepared to read the article to the class.
• Mr Heng, who sympathizes with the communists, tells Fowler: “Sooner or later […] one has to take sides. If one is to remain human” (p. 191, ll. 10–12).
• Pyle says about the victims of his assassination: “In a way you could say they died for democracy” (p. 197, ll. 6–7).
• Captain Trouin, a French pilot, claims: “The men of Vichy did not bomb their own country. I felt worse than them. […] [But] those others – they do some monstrous things also” (p. 167, ll. 13–19).
