In the literary works truth is difficult to put a definite label on. Dickinson's three poems seem to speak a lot of God and how he is truth. In "How to Tell a True War Story," O'Brien makes up a story to prove a true point about war and nature in general. In Wolves in the Walls truth turns out to be the unexpected and everyone is shocked when a little girl was actually correct. Finally in I know the Moon the animals disagree what the moon truly is and even when man shows them that the moon is simply dust the animals can agree it is not based on their own personal beliefs. All of the poems offer very different ideas of what truth really is however none of them disagree or contradict each other. All of the works of literature seem to focus on the individuals interpretation of events and circumstances as what dictates truth.

I enjoyed I know the Moon by Gaiman. i thought that there was a good concept behind it because the author had contradictory points thrown into an argument but when man said that they were simply making something out of nothing the animals were able to agree with one another that it wasn't simply a ball of dust but something more to them. Although they all thought that the moon was something different they were willing to accept eachother's beliefs and their own without conflict. I really enjoyed the story and wish that maybe some of the older generations could learn to put petty differences aside and be more willing to agree to disagree without the need for senseless violence.
