As you are reading, ask yourself the questions mentioned over and over in this assignment: What does this work of fiction teach you about the experience of World War I that you could not get from a more scientific work? The answer to that question will lead you to a tentative thesis for your literary analysis. Note: This paper is YOUR interpretation of the work of literature, so it is important that you formulate your views before searching for other sources.
Locate three additional sources via Google Scholar to assist you in your presentation. These sources may be scholarly works about the novel or or historical works that put the war in perspective. Make sure you add these three works to your list of works cited. You will use these sources in the paper in order to amplify your understanding of the period in question, to help support your own viewpoint, or to argue against.
