How did the Tet Offensive impact the Vietnam War?

History
1 answer:
zmey [24]2 years ago

Answer:  It showed Americans that the war was not actually close to ending based on strong communist attacks in South Vietnam.

The Tet Offensive of 1968 was a turning point, and the influence of the media in reporting on the Tet Offensive was felt in that turning point as well.

The number of American households that owned a television set rose dramatically in the 1960s.  In the 1950s, less than 10% of homes had a TV, but by 1966 that had risen to 93% of households.  Most Americans now were getting their news from television, and Walter Cronkite was the most trusted anchorman on TV news.  When the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong launched the Tet Offensive in 1968, Cronkite, known as "the most trusted man in America," offered a television editorial that shaped the nation's mood.  Cronkite said in that broadcast on February 27, 1968:  "It seems now more certain than ever, that the bloody experience of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate. To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe, in the face of the evidence, the optimists who have been wrong in the past.  To say that we are mired in stalemate seems the only realistic, if unsatisfactory conclusion. ...It is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy, and did the best they could."

In addition to Cronkite's reporting, there were also images coming from the war front that had shown a "credibility gap" between what the US government had been saying about the war and what was actually happening there.

Why was it easy for Jane to move around while she was exploring
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Jane Eyre takes place in five settings: Gateshead Hall, Lowood School, Thornfield Hall, Moor House, and Ferndean. Each setting encompasses a different stage in Jane’s life. Gateshead, where the Reeds live and Jane spends her young childhood days, contains the terrifying red-room, the place in which she undergoes her first truly terrifying experience: a supposed encounter with her Uncle Reed’s ghost. Jane’s marked change from this encounter prompts Mrs. Reed to send her to Lowood School, a place filled with similarly oppressive circumstances. Brontë modeled the harsh conditions of Lowood School after an English school she attended with her sisters. Just like in the novel, students suffered from typhus and consumption. Scholars note that Mr. Brocklehurst’s doctrine of privation matches Evangelical doctrines popular in Victorian England, and many read this section as a critique of those branches of Protestantism. After Lowood, Jane moves on to Rochester’s Thornfield Hall, which has a frightening, ominous presence at night, and Brontë uses quite a few other Gothic elements, such as descriptions of the supernatural, to define the setting. Many Gothic novels explore anxieties around sexuality, and accordingly Thornfield is where Jane explores romantic passion with Rochester. Moor House and Ferndean have less developed physical significance, but important names. The word “moor” signifies a mooring, a place where something is docked. Moor House is where Jane receives her inheritance, granting her stability for once in her life. The “fern” in Ferndean symbolizes the new growth Jane and Rochester will experience there, and Jane confirms that she has spent the past ten blissful years there by Rochester’s side, as his wife and his equal.
