“Flags Of Our Fathers”

Answer both writing prompts

Summary: Prompt 1: Summarize the film, highlighting the events that are the directors main focus.
Analysis: Prompt 2: A historian once observed that history is what the present chooses to remember about the past. Audiences will leave the theatre with an impression about what happened in this film. How does Flags of our Fathers help or hurt our historical understanding of World War II? How does this film deal with the representation of race in wartime? What does the film tell us about the nature of heroism? Use specific examples from the film to make your case and cite your work using in-text citations.
Your answers to these questions are opinion based. I want to know what you think, but you should make specific reference to the film in both parts.

There is no external research component to this assignment, but you can look at reviews and other sources, provided that you correctly cite them using MLA protocols. This requires in-text citation as well as a Works Cited page
