Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Most people and regular soldiers detest spies and the idea of spying. Spies are not considered in the same vein as soldiers in uniform and are not protected by the customs and regulations that govern the treatment of soldiers who are in uniform when captured. Rickabee asks McCoy to spy on Carlson, which might be considered even more distasteful due to them being in the same military. Discuss one of the following:
1. Why do you think spies are not accorded any rights under many countries' laws and/or customs?
2. Even though all countries abhor spies, often even their own, they still spy, and men and women are still willing to be spies. Discuss why you think this is so.
3. Research and analyze the history of spying in either America.
4. Does McCoy seem the image of a typical spy as you visualize one? Why or why not.
Essay Topic 2
Discuss one of the following:
1. Trace and analyze one major theme of Corps 02: Call to Arms. Consider the following: How does one character's actions portray the theme you are analyzing? How does the setting contribute to that theme? Is the theme one that you would call a "universal theme?" If so, what other book or novel that you have read also includes this theme. If not, why don't you think it is a "universal" theme?
2. Trace and analyze two secondary themes of Corps 02: Call to Arms. How does one character's actions portray the themes you are analyzing? How does the setting contribute to those themes? Is each theme one that you would call a "universal theme?" If so, what other book or novel that you have read also includes this theme. If not, why don't you think it is a "universal" theme?
3. What benefit is there in discussing and analyzing the themes of a work of fiction? Do you think most authors consciously develop themes in their works? Why or why not? Can there be accidental themes? What do you think is one possible "accidental" theme in Corps 02: Call to Arms? Which theme in Corps 02: Call to Arms speaks to you the most in your life? Why?
Essay Topic 3
Though this novel is probably more action-driven rather than character-driven, obviously there are several characters who make the novel what it is. Discuss one of the following:
1. Compare and contrast the characters of McCoy and Zimmerman. Include their goals, sense of honor, abilities, and social skills.
2. Compare and contrast the characters of Lieutenant Stecker and Pickering.
