Suggested tips to review for multiple choice section:
- Reread "The Things They Carried," "Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong," "The Man I Killed," and "Ghost Soldiers."
- Look up and learn ALL vocabulary and literary techniques you don't know from the three practice multiple-choice passages/questions we studied. (HINT: You should know what metonymy, catharsis, paradox, allusion, and apostrophe mean!)
