Be sure to address every element of thequestion. Consider Kurt Vonnegut’s two short stories, “All the King’s Horses” (1953) and“Manned Missiles” (1958), both reproduced in the course reader. In what ways doeseach fictional account reflect the actual international backdrop against which it waswritten? (In each case, “international backdrop” means 1) relevant internationalevents in the author’s recent memory at the time he wrote his story—i.e., over thepreceding 3–5 years; and 2) the relevant international situation prevailing at the timeof his writing.) How does each story portray America’s communist adversaries? Arethere significant differences between the two portrayals? If so, what historicalconclusions can you draw from those differences?In writing this paper, imagine that your readers are completely unfamiliar withVonnegut’s two short stories. While a blow-by-blow account of the plots would not beappropriate, you do want to give your readers some sense of what is going on in eachstory.Your main sources for the paper will be, of course, the short stories themselves. Becauseyou are relating them to actual historical events, however, you should also consult theassigned readings and the course lectures. Be sure to provide adequate citations,following one of the approved methods outlined in The Chicago Manual of Style or inKate Turabian’s A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations.Information derived from course lectures should also be cited;
