The Man I Killed/Ambush/Good Form
We read all 3 stories in class and had a group discussion in response to the following prompts:
“The Man I Killed”
Why does O’Brien go into so much detail about the man’s life? How does he know these things? What is the focus of this story?
“Ambush”
This is another story about the same event. What is the reason for this? What is the focus of this story? Explain the repetition of the dead man’s description in both stories.
“Good Form”
What is the focus of the 3rd story dealing with the same subject? Explain why O’Brien would write the story 3 different ways with the focus and the facts changing each time.
