The Boy Who Called Storyteller- Good Form

Thoughts running through my mind after reading this chapter, and if anyone wises to validate these claims look in my book
WHAT THE HECK
IS ANY OF THIS BOOK TRUE
IS KIOWA DEAD
DOES KIOWA EXIST
IS NORMAN'S STORY TRUE
Here's the thing Mr. O'Brien, if you want to write a fictional story, go for it. Add battles and people and make up your war. However do not make it so realistic making it seem true. Do not create this war story that never happened, but report it so that the reader thinks it's true. That's like a grade school teacher telling kids that banana's are going to stop growing due to a hurricane that ripped most of the trees out of the banana growing areas, making a girl seem like a complete idiot to her parents when she suddenly wants to buy pounds of bananas. That is not Good Form
Christmas is ruined

  1. Exactly! Like it was seriously like someone was telling me Santa wasn't real all over again. Most of my love for this book was in the fact that it sincerely happened! Finding out that he did go to war but most of the stuff in the book didn't actually happen was a severe letdown for me.
