What do you know
about the Vietnam War?
The Vietnam War
•The Vietnam War was the prolonged struggle between nationalist forces attempting
to unify the country of Vietnam under a communist government and the United
States (with the aid of the South Vietnamese) attempting to prevent the spread of
communism.
•As civil war erupted in Vietnam in 1960, President Kennedy feared if Vietnam fell to
Communism then many other small countries would also fall to Communism,
creating a "Domino Effect." France, unwilling to support a war effort in Vietnam,
turned responsibility for Vietnam over to the United States.
•The Vietnam War (1957-1975) was one of the longest and most controversial wars in
America's history. Many people in the United States opposed the war and voiced their
opinions by marching in rallies; others showed their discontent in poetry and song.
•After the U.S. had withdrawn all its troops in 1973, the fighting continued in
Vietnam. In early 1975, North Vietnam made another big push south which toppled
the South Vietnamese government. South Vietnam officially surrendered to
communist North Vietnam on April 30, 1975. On July 2, 1976, Vietnam was reunited
as a communist country, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said "Son, don't you understand"

I had a brother at Khe Sahn fighting off
the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone

He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.

Words of Wisdom
From Martin Luther King, Jr.
-His letter was written to 8 white clergymen who had suggested to
him that the best way to achieve equality was to take it up with the
courts
-He was imprisoned for participating in a non-violent protest rally
 I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is
unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to
arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality
expressing the highest respect for the law.
 Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
 Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects
revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is
love.
•His inaugural address (audio/video found in lesson) was an especially stirring one
about liberty, justice, and service.
•Note Kennedy's logic and the way it was used to develop a persuasive argument.
 Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that
we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any
hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the
survival and the success of liberty.
 And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country
can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.
 My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will
do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of
man.
Keeping in mind what we have learned about effective protest…
As a reporter you have an ability to persuade your readers through your wording. This
valuable skill can be seen in the speeches and letters of some very famous people. John F.
Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. are two men who were masters at using the power
of persuasion to sway listeners. They both had the ability to articulate their dreams and
beliefs in their speeches. Their commitment and perseverance to the issues they believed
in, made their words resound long after they were gone.
 Create your own original protest piece regarding some injustice in your world
today:
 Poem – 10 lines and 4 literary devices minimum
 Song – 10 lines and 4 literary devices minimum
 Photo Essay
 2 political cartoons
 Video
 Speech – 2-3 paragraphs
 Letter – 2-3 paragraphs
Remember, the goal is to persuade your audience to CHANGE.
Identify your intended audience and the goal of your creation.

7.04 Student Sample
Protest Poem option
America the beautiful, America the free,
Yet every time we see you,
We have to run and flee
I’ve seen them take my family,
And like a dog being scolded, I hear them cry and yelp,
America how could you do this, when all I want is to help
Steadily striving and searching for success
I came to this land after the hurricanes
And busy as a bee, I worked on roofs, and in lawns to clean up
its mess
I just call it determination for a better life
You just say I’m a stubborn mule,
You throw us out of your country with your hand of the law
I’d have never guessed America could be so cruel
You’ve created immigrant laws just for me,
You are America the beautiful, America the so called “free”
