Just a portion of our discussion from yesterday's class:
It's difficult, because I feel like I've written a lot of half-truths:my essays would be fraudulent if I called them "facts". Yet, I truly don't feel like a liar. I feel like the combination of events or the minute manipulations of facts are nearly negligible. Or...are they? I rationalize that changing the activity someone was doing, which is still really close to reality, and certainly in coordination with the tone of the experience, is okay to change in order to create a meaningful metaphor or to evoke emotions. But.. does it mean that I'm manipulating a reader's feelings?
