Welcome to Shared Writings of Kittson Central Students

The following is a "Notes" assignment option that Shelby chose to do in ENGL 1016 when we finished reading The Things They Carried. She had to read real-life letters from an Iraqi vet and fictionalize the story to use the same method that O'Brien used when he wrote the "Notes" chapter in his novel. I'm also sharing the "Dear Reader" letter with you. She wrote that as part of the assignment; it's essentially a reflection and helps the reader understand what they are about to read.
