In A Viet Cong Memoir, we receive excellent first hands accounts of events that unfolded in Vietnam during the Vietnam War from the author of this autobiography: Truong Nhu Tang. Truong was Vietnamese at heart, growing up in Saigon, but he studied in Paris for a time where he met and learned from the future leader Ho Chi Minh. Truong was able to learn from Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary ideas and gain a great political perspective of the conflicts arising in Vietnam during the war. His autobiography shows the readers the perspective of the average Vietnamese citizen (especially those involved with the NLF) and the attitudes towards war with the United States. In the book, Truong exclaims that although many people may say the Americans never lost on the battlefield in Vietnam — it is irrelevant.
The Vietnam war took a major death toll in Vietnam, United States, South Korea, Thailand, New Zealand, and Australia. Just in the U.S., “more than 58,000 American soldiers were killed while more than 150,000 others wounded”. On both sides, there were almost 2 million civilians dead and 1.1 simply on the Vietnamese side. The My Lai Massacre, where soldiers brutally killed Vietnamese children and mothers, presents an example where the war mentally changed the soldiers in the war in a very horrendous way.

Who is Andy K Nguyen Growing up I didn’t like how I was called Andy Nugget or newguyen but over the past years I’ve actually admire my name Andy K Nguyen which is pronounced Andy, the letter K in the alphabet and Nguyen or how most people pronounce it (win). Andy of the english origin means brave; manly and it’s commonly given to both boys and girls but mostly boys.(Norman 29). From 1880 to 2014, the Social Security Administration has recorded 86,338 babies born with the name Andy in the United States("What Does The Name Andy Mean?"). In my opinion Andy means the exact opposite because I get really nervous when I speak in front of the class and I’m not manly at all, I get scared of little things like failing a test.

I decided to interview one of my friend’s older brother, Minh. My friend and I have been friends throughout high school, and I decided to interview her older brother because I do not know him very well and wanted to learn about Minh’s passion of breakdancing. I was particularly interested in learning about breakdancing from Minh because it is the foundation of hip hop dancing, which is one of my hobbies.
