Chapter abstracts are short descriptions of events that occur in
each chapter. They highlight major plot events and detail the
important relationships and characteristics of characters and
objects. The Chapter Abstracts can be used to review what the
students have read, or to prepare the students for what they
will read. Hand the abstracts out in class as a study guide, or
use them as a "key" for a class discussion. They are relatively
brief, but can serve to be an excellent refresher of the text
for either a student or teacher. Chapter 1 Abstract * Sontag
asserts that notions of war vary by culture, gender and social
class. * Images could be manipulated and interpretations skewed
based on context and presentation. * Sontag argues that horrific
images of war are not sufficient to inspire a rejection of armed
conflict nor military action. This section contains 1,622 words|
