Escape from Camp 14: One Man’s Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West
Foreword
5. Quotation “He seemed relieved to be correcting a story he felt had become a kind of prison” (xiii).
The author reveals that some parts of the books are false. Due to his horrific life and trauma, Shin Dong-hyuk, the protagonist, has been telling an untruth version of his story ever since he arrived in South Korea in 2006. Because of this, Shin begins to tell the truth and correct his lies and mistakes. This reveals Shin’s honesty and courage. Even though there will be false information, I still feel like the story reflects his journey and will still have a great plotline.

He was one of the prisoners that was hated amongst the others because he was loyal to the guards. I do not blame Shin for doing this because needed to survive.
