Author Patricia McCormick Visits 11th Grade English Class
As part of their look at the effects the violence of war can have on our humanity and our innocence, 11th grade BCAM students met with author Patricia McCormick to discuss her novel Purple Heart. The novel tells the story of Matt Duffy, a young soldier suffering from a traumatic brain injury, who searches for the truth of what happened the day his platoon was attacked and a young Iraqi boy was killed.
Our students questioned Ms. McCormick, while offering journal entries and story drafts that show the battles they face in trying to maintain their innocence in the face of almost constant violence.
