A modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.

Discussion/Analysis Prompt

Consider Birdy’s belief in the “enemy.” Is there an “enemy”? Does Birdy believe that there is a good and bad side in the war he is fighting? Why or why not?

Teaching Suggestion: This Discussion/Analysis Prompt connects directly with the Personal Connection Prompt in the Before Reading Section. The prompt also connects with the theme of The Fog of War; it may be helpful to guide students to understand that war is more nuanced than it appears in black-and-white media portrayals. Additionally, this question ties in with the second Scaffolded Essay Question and the second Full Essay Assignment.
