Although happening-truth, the blunt actuality of the moment, is commonly accepted as the immutable definition of truth, O’Brien argues that story-truth can provide an even more comprehensive truth. The story-truth may not be exactly what happened, but it contains the more powerful emotional account of the event. In the novel, O’Brien employs story-truth in his writing when he tells the reader that he had once killed a Vietnamese soldier.

The way something makes a person feel will always be remembered. Whether the actions or events are reality or fiction, what it makes you think will always be real and unique. In works of literature like “Things They Carried” and “Fences” some things tend to be a stretch of the truth. Being able to add some fiction and change reality can give you a different perspective of the story and help you fill a gap you could not fill before with what actually happened. In “Fences” it was used to make Troy’s emotions more vivid to the audience.…

The train smashing through the darkness.” (DeLillo 3) Most likely this is an exaggeration of some truth, but with the exaggeration the truth came a detail that added to the fictionalized story factor. In a way it says to the readers that this topic is not important enough to keep its truth as truthful as possible.
