Document Summary
How to tell a true war story : characters. Bob kiley = rat: ideas jungle evokes. History happens : writes letter to dead best friend"s sister and gets no response. Mitchell sanders = tells story of silence dinner party in vietnamese. President etc and makes you think about events in a different light serves to break up the spectacle of a national story. In the ruins of the future : discusses images from 9/11 that no one usually talks about. Families trying to escape surrounding apartment buildings and lying to children about what is going on. God is great = innocent muslims who don"t agree with terrorists. Baader-meinhoff : man masturbating on woman"s bed = what the terrorists did to us on 9/11 nothing will ever feel or look the same, what they did had meaning. It was wrong, but it wasn"t blind and empty. All life is now public and being watched.
