Question

What is a common theme among writers from the Vietnam War era?

Answer 1

The answer choices are-

1. mystery and intrigue

2. violence and injustice

3. nationalism and politics

4. racism and homophobia

Answer 2

The soldiers and the journalists that were writing about it were very close to the action. They wrote about their experiences. Moreover, the Vietnam literature has no “escape hatches” (meaning we don't have comic relief, no moments of romance, and scant emphasis on coming-of-age energy). The primary goal was to make us feel like we were there.
