The truth?

Wow Wow wow. I truly can’t say enough about this story. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where do I begin? Is it a non fiction or fiction? I am going to say it is non fiction. Just for the simple fact that fiction couldn’t be that good. The human element in the story is what makes it non fiction, you can feel his pain. The words jump out at you and its almost as if he’s telling you the entire story personally. At the end of it its almost like you believe what you want. It still doesn’t take away from the fact that it happened or maybe it didn’t happen. This story speaks about or touches on the inhumanness of war but it also demonstrates how war makes some people human. There is no right answer no yes or no, no correct or incorrect, no truth or false; what makes this story incredible is the story itself. Like Diana said “most likely, even the people who lived through the experience can't tell what parts of their story are true or not, if in fact the story was meant to be true), the "truth" this story is valuable because it delves into the psyche of human beings under these types of situations. It is human nature to repress traumatic experiences”. When it comes down to it even thought every single detail might not be true or maybe it might? It is very possible this story happened at one point or another; because this story didn’t necessarily have a moral and it wasn’t really entertaining. It just spoke about the human element of an event. But truly who knows I’m just a twenty year old ignorant kid from jersey. God I’m so confused! if i go on ill explode.
