This assignment contains 2 short essay questions and 5 multiple questions.

You will read the 15 pages attached as PDF then will follow the assignment below and answer the questions

The book’s name is “Born In Blood and Fire: 4th ed. by John Charles Chasteen”. You will need the book name to cite your answers.

The assignment is as follows:

Please use your textbook to answer both discussion questions. You are required to solely use your textbook, Chapters 1 to answer the short essay and multiple-choice questions. No other outside sources are required to answer the questions. The more details and analysis you use to write your responses, the more points you are likely to get. You are graded on the originality of your response, the depth/analysis you address from the textbook, and the critical thinking you incorporate.

Please include at least 2 key terms from the chapter to answer the questions. Be sure to italicize, underline, and put your key terms in bold. Originality is important, and I implore you not to copy the text verbatim from the text. Please be sure to cite the source and page number from the textbook (e.g. Chasteen 44). Each of Q1 and Q2 should be at least 50-300 words (it’s okay to go over the word limit). Responses with NO citation/references to the textbook will get a zero for that assignment.
