- Annotation
- Discusses the challenges of teaching the novel s untraditional thematic treatment of intimacy, war, and patriotism to conservative military cadets. Outlines their method for approaching the text through three distinct concepts of distance: geographical, chronological, and narrative. While the first two provide contextualization, the latter draws on the rhetorical theories of Wayne Booth s The Rhetoric of Fiction (1961) to help students distinguish between author, narrator, and character. Concludes that this approach builds student research skills and empathy.
