The Forever War

Unfortunately, I have not received the novel from Amazon yet. I did however, research the journalistic novel. I found a review from a writer from The New York Times. The article, like most from the New York Times, is tedious and long. I uncovered what I thought the writer felt about the novel-- and it seemed he was extremely moved. In the begging of the review the writer spoke of the past wars and compared them to the one that The Forever War covers. He contrasts a lot-- and praises the writer for telling a story that other can learn from. Because of the review, I am looking forward to reading the novel-- the main reason being, I feel very ignorant and view to the war in Iraq and wish to know more.

person

The person I am planning on profiling is Thomas Nester.. the History professor.

Five qustions:

1). What are some of the differnces teaching at BSU then the universitys you taught at in other countires?

2). How did you know you wanted to be become a History teacher?

3). What interested you most about the topic?

4). What is your advice for future or current students?

5). What do you plan on bringing forth to BSU?

three profile

The first profile I am thinking of doing is my History professor Thomas Nester. He is a new professor at BSU and used to teach abroad in a Third World Country. I think there could be a neat angle on what the differences of teaching at a US state school compared to what he originally started off as. I could also explore the changes and what he plan on offering to BSU.

Another thought I had was to profile a deaf student who is in one of my English classes. Although this may be very difficult-- I am her note taker for class and can communicate to her through her translators who accompany her to every class.

I also thought of profiling a paraplegic who is in a couple of my classes as well. I can write to angle of what it is like being a disabled student at BSU, how he feels on the matter.
