- Annotation
- Discusses the value of mining diverse student perspectives and personal experience for more fully comprehending Nick s fishing trip in Michigan s Upper Peninsula and the story s subtext of war. Svoboda outlines his strategy for introducing students to the physical weight of Nick s pack by bringing in a fully loaded backpack containing Hemingway s listed items, thus opening the door to discussions of Hemingway s realistic portrayal and the emotional weight carried by returning veterans suffering from PTSD.
