O'Brien

Tim O'Brien's speech was amazing. He his upon the things that I tried to hit upon during my earlier writings in the class, about truth and how to truthfully tell your version of truth. That whole concept is actually pretty amazing to me. I remember when i first thought about it when i was reading. It was really exposed though after i read The Things They Carried and how it effected his writing. The way he writes using meta-fiction is amazing, it seems true yet it never really happened. O'Brien will always be one of my favorite writers just because of his exploration of truth, which he and i have in common. I believe this will be a trend, for many authors to recount their lives's tragic or mentally harmful experiences.
