The themes of trauma and memory replacement are evident in "Sorrow of War" and "The Things They Carried". Trauma often creates un-true memories for the victim to understand a traumatic event. However in storytelling, it can be argued that it is false story telling because the memory is in-correct. Others would argue however, that it is not the story teller's fault that they tell false stories due to their traumatic stresses. This essay will discuss how "false storytelling" is about getting the point across. As long as the story has a point, its fine that it is untrue.

ReplyDeleteWhat "points" are the authors attempting to get across? Why is the conveyance necessary? Why might a skeptical reader reject them?
