QUESTIONS

MEDIUM - How do the two clips represent soldiers? (how do they feel / act?)

TRICKIER - What do you think the overall message is about war / fighting in each of the two clips?

TRICKIEST - How do the two clips represent the civilians (the innocent people who happen to live in the
towns that are fighting or the families of the soldiers back home)?
