Angles Of Visions Response

First of all I think I need to pay more attention in class so that this stuff doesn't just come up outta nowhere. Ms. Allen you gotta yell at me more. Whack me over the head with a desk when I fall asleep. I also like how this thing corrected me on the word outta but not the word gotta. Anyway, I think that what Tim O'Brien is trying to say about truth is that if you don't hear anything to the contrary of what someone told you then it is true. I think that Emily Dickinson is trying to say that truth is a force to be reckoned with. She's trying to say that truth can destroy worlds but also raise them up. I think that Neil Gaiman is trying to say that just because you don't believe something doesn't make it untrue. I think what all of these authors views on truth has in common is that truth is actually subjective. And that subjectiveness is what makes truth so powerful. Everyone has their own opinion on it, their own story. Wars have been started over what may or may not have been the truth. I like the poems the best because it takes something so complicated as truth and lays it bare in so little words. A gift like that is a beautiful thing.
