Recommended: What are some ways war and violence affect children

Bryan Manaloto Mr.Chan English 11 CP 21 Sept. 2015 Ambush by Tim O’Brien There are things you will encounter in your life that will require you to make the right decision. “ You are not sure if you are making the right decision- about anything, ever”(Didion). Whenever you make a decision, you are not sure if it is the right one. As we get older, we use what we know in order to make the right choice. Throughout your life, the decision you make can affect you personally in the future. In the short story, Ambush, O’Brien tells the story to his daughter, Kathleen, after she asks him if he has ever killed someone. He cannot admit to her that he killed someone, but he is questioned by her, on why he also writes many war stories. In an attempt to

    Before O’Brien was drafted into the army, he had an all American childhood.

    ...r because it seems impossible to reconstruct an event from this objective point of view. Maybe the point of telling stories is not trying to recreate the reality of a past event, but it is the message that matters because that might be in the end the only thing that does not necessarily depend on single details of the story, but on the overall picture of an event. That is why to O’Brien another important component of a war story is the fact that a war story will never pin down the definite truth and that is why a true war story “never seems to end” (O’Brien, 425). O’Brien moves the reader from the short and simple statement “This is the truth” to the conclusion that, “In war you lose your sense of the definite, hence your sense of truth itself and therefore it’s safe to say that in a true war story nohting much is ever very true” (O’Brien, 428). These two statements frame the entire irony of the story, from its beginning to its end. Almost like the popular saying “A wise man admits that he knows nothing.”

    What O’Brien sees as the purpose of the storytelling, and fictionalizing his experiences in Vietnam, can be seen through the “style” of his writing. It’s more than just a collection of stories. It’s a way for him to let go and start a new beginning. It is labeled “fiction” to make the story seem more engaging and to bring up the question, “Did this really happen?”

He expresses anger at Bobby Jorgenson and frustration that he cannot be on the move with the rest of his platoon while he recovers from his injury. Jorgenson’s terrible job of treating O’Brien’s wound leaves a lasting effect on him because he cannot rest until he gets his revenge on the young medic. It is natural for one to feel upset after someone fails to come to one’s aid in a time of need. This can lead to one feeling resentful and distrustful for long periods of time after the event took

    In his short story, O’Brien intentionally chooses words and phrases that evoke emotion in his readers. On page 137 he says “This is one story I’ve never told anyone before. Not to anyone. Not to my parents, not to my brother or sister, not even my wife.” This statement creates a sense of intimacy with the reader, because he has never shared it with anyone else, and he is choosing to share it with us. It also allows the reader to feel a bit of the author’s shame behind being so embarrassed to share this story that he’s never even told the people closest to him. Also, on page 141 he says “I feared the war, yes, but I also feared exile. I was afraid of walking away from my own life, my friends and my family, my whole history, everything that mattered

    This allows the reader to see what takes place rather than what is perceived. O’Brien’s main objective is to expose the subjectivity that lies within truth. To point out a specific contradiction within truth, he uses war to highlight this difference. He writes, “The truths are contradictory. It can be argued, for instance, that war is grotesque. But in truth war is also beauty” (77). The truth has two different meanings and it all depends on who is interpreting it. One person may think one truth and another person can see the complete opposite. To go along with this ambiguity within truth he states, “Almost everything is true. Almost nothing is true” (77). He once again shows that truth is up for interpretation. There is not a single, universal truth, however, there are many variations of it. As previously mentioned, O’Brien claims that he honestly admit that he has both never killed a man and has in fact killed somebody. Here he is stating that there can be completely different answers that all seem to be the truthful. Whether or not O’Brien killed someone, he felt like he did, but could answer that he didn’t. It is this discrepancy that proves that it is all relative. When it comes to telling the story it becomes “difficult difficult to separate what happened from what seemed to happen,” (67). This is what causes the subjectivity, the unknowingness of the situation. Since

My personality (ESFJ) and values relate to choosing a decision making style because I do not like hurting others feelings, but I have remind myself that whatever happens, happens.
