Each student will be responsible for creating two separate chapters in our collection of short stories.



The first chapter will be a fictional story from either the war in Iraq or the war in Afghanistan. This story will be based on a real newspaper or magazine article, or from an online journal or diary (blog, etc.), but edited to provide anonymity and imagery.

The second chapter will explore the effects of the wars on our society here at home. Again, this will be a fictional piece, but this time based on the student writer's observations and research of soldiers and their reception and reintegration here at home as well as the effects of the wars on our soldiers' communities.
