He writes about what a great guy Lemon was and how Rat loved him. Eddie's war story however, is sad and filled with fear that haunts him even in heaven, his story is not uplifting. ]]> 2016-10-04 17:51:19 UTC https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128278567 https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128344320 The story by O'Brien highlights both the sad moments of war and the happy and humorous memories. He explains that war provokes complex emotions in soldiers because of the mix of positive and negative experiences, whereas the war story by Albom focuses on the horrific, traumatic memories.]]> 2016-10-04 22:05:42 UTC https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128344320 https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128348031 The short story by O'Brien focuses on a wider range of emotions. O'Brien shows the good times the soldiers had together however also touches upon the negative aspects of the war. On the other hand, Albom focuses more on the fear and guilt of his war story. ]]> 2016-10-04 22:45:07 UTC https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128348031 https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128348658 The war story talked more about how others percieved the war, versus how you yourself view it, whereas Eddie's story talked about strictly the soldiers view on the war, and how it effected them. The change in audience differentiates the passages.]]> 2016-10-04 22:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128348658 https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128643685 Eddie's story of war was about how he was miserable in a POW camp for a long time and he never noticed the sacrifices made for he and the rest of the soldiers with him. O'Brien's story is about the truth of war and how it is not perceived correctly. Eddie was the one who had fault in his perception in his story but in O'Brien's, it was everyone else with the misconception of reality.]]> 2016-10-05 20:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128643685 https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128644760 In the short story, the author explains how in a war story, it's difficult to separate what happened from what seemed to happen. But in the novel, this does not seem to be true as Eddie has a very good memory of everything that happened.]]> 2016-10-05 21:01:44 UTC https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128644760 https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128664901 In Tim O'Brien's text,it explains how many perceive the war and exaggerate what happened around them, however, in The Five People You meet in Heaven, you only get one side of the war story, therefor you are unsure of whether or not it is exaggerating ]]> 2016-10-06 00:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128664901 https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128667906 In the passage, O'Brien states that a true war story should never leave someone uplifted. In my opinion the war in the novel ends with an uplifting lesson. Also in the passage, it states that when in war when a man dies soldiers look away. In the novel Eddie and the prisons did watch as their friend was shot in the head. ]]> 2016-10-06 00:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128667906 https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128674748 While the soldiers in O Brien's excerpt were only able to experience stories through the rumor mill, Eddie is able to rewind and visit what really happened, eliminating any falsities from mouth to word.]]> 2016-10-06 02:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128674748 amorin19 https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128687792 Although the troops in ¨How To Tell A True War Story¨ seem to be pretty close to each other it seems that the bond between  Eddie´s friends seems more connected when having to deal with worse situations rather than having the privilege to stay in the same group of people.But this is only one Example of what Both Writers have to provide. ¨The Five People You Meet In Heaven¨ Mainly focuses on the melancholy moments of war whereas Tim O´ Brien´s passage mainly focuses on pivotal points of the war, as well as a variety of emotions that are mentioned in the passage.]]> 2016-10-06 05:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128687792 https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128688014 The war story was based off of rumors and they over emphasize what  happened and in the five people you meet in heaven the facts you are getting are more factual as they are more of a personal account.]]> 2016-10-06 05:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128688014 https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128762728 Albom describes Eddie's war story exactly how it was. Once the war ended, Eddie no longer thought about the war besides his leg. Whereas O'Brien writes his war stories from his perspective and how the war never left him after it ended. ]]> 2016-10-06 11:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/Kusinitz/9aii6jihjupt/wish/128762728
