The situations described below. Taking on this perspective, compose a letter that includes at least five factual illustrations of life during the war. Number, underline, italicize, or somehow indicate your factual illustrations in the letter. Post this letter as a thread in the forum.
You have been fighting in the trenches of World War I for almost a year now. In several “charges,” you have seen your fellow doughboys gunned down by opposing machine gunners stationed in the trenches facing yours. To some of your fellow soldiers, any further attacks on such a fortified position seem hopeless. Yet there is talk of another such attack tomorrow at dawn. It is the night before this scheduled attack, and you are writing a letter home to the states. How do you feel about the war at this time? And what are your feelings about the upcoming attack and your role in the war effort?
