When being told a war story, one automatically assumes all that they are hearing is factual, and that all the trauma, devastation, and victory really happened. However, in the fictional The Things They Carried, by Tim O’Brien, he turns the idea on its head: a story does not necessarily have to be honest if the emotions behind the story are. O’Brien uses techniques such as hyperbolic characters and verisimilitude to show his audience that while the verbatim anecdotes are not true, the sentiment behind them is true. Through the characters of Mary Anne and Norman Bowker, O’Brien successfully uses the audience’s trust against them to create varying images of unbelievability and believability, which ultimately helps achieve the goal of making his

In Atwood's "Half Hanged Mary" and Miller's "The Crucible", the authors describe two different, yet similar instances of the Salem Witch Trials. The Salem Witch Trials, everyone has heard of them. They happened in Massachusetts between 1692 and 1693. More than 200 people were accused of practicing witchcraft and 20 were executed. Eventually, the colony admitted the trials were just a mistake. While both Atwood and Miller both seek to reveal the injustices incurred by the victims of the Salem witch trials, Miller focuses on the effects of hysteria and religious zealotry on society, while Atwood aims to commemorate the excruciating experience of a single victim.

There are a few instances where women make appearances in the novel. One example is Mary Anne, who readers can see change drastically in the story. In this unusual case, Vietnam changes the woman in a way that most people would not expect.

I also think she did the right choice and he did the right choice.
It's been a spectacular ten years here at the school of St. Mary’s. I remember my first day of pre-school. As I walked in the PGC with my size 2 gym shoes and my button down red shirt, I had no clue what was waiting for me here at the school of St. Mary’s. All the awesome memories I would make such as playing soccer every day at recess, first communion in my suit and tie with all my friends, Mr. D playing basketball with us at recess, Mr. Head making awesome plays in the 8th grade volleyball game, and also all the other amazing memories St. Mary's gave to me that I'll never forget.

“Oh my god! Can I touch your hair? It is so cool.” This is an example of the types of questions my friend KT is asked on a regular basis. In fear of seeming rude, she always allows it without complaint even though it makes her uncomfortable. Instead of being honest, she sits, allows herself to be poked and prodded, and holds her own thoughts hostage within her mind. She wonders if the girl has really never seen hair like hers before. She wonders why the girl has such a zealous desire to touch her hair; what makes it so enchanting? Unfortunately, I was not being completely honest when I said that KT receives questions like this on a regular basis. I did not reveal a critical piece of information that follows that statement: she was not asked questions like this before attending Roger Williams University.
