Journal Topics - How to Tell a True War Story

- "This is true." This novel is a fiction, that seems an awful lot like a memoir. How can we know what is true and what is fabricated? How can we know this in the real world? Look at the scandal that erupted over the untrue (or just a little bit true) memoir, "A Million Little Pieces." Why is "the truth" so important to us?

- " A true war story is never moral...you can tell a true war story by its allegiance to obscenity and evil." Re-read the passage on pp. 68-69. Do you agree?

- What "seems to happen" in the true story about Rat that is told at the beginning? Does the story have a moral, a lesson?
