Unit Outline for Fallen Angels

Essential Questions: How does Walter Dean Meyers manifest the social outcries/protest and feelings of alienation during the Vietnam War in his novel Fallen Angels? How does Meyers relate the major concepts of a bildungsroman in his novel? How can internal and external conflict reveal major plot developments and themes in a novel? What is propaganda and how is it used to influence people? What do I need to review in order to succeed on the American Literature End-Of-Course-Test?

You need your copy of Fallen Angels every day!
