Are half-truths okay if it’s still a good story? Does it matter if Frey or other memorises bent the truth to tell their stories?
i believe that half truths are OK to an extent. For example When Frey said that he killed a girl in an accident even though he was not there i think that is not OK. I would have been OK if he said what he was doing when he herd about the accident if it affected him or even if he stretched the truth and said he was nearby and witnessed the accident when he didn't. Also i know that every story is stretched a little to make it that much more exiting and that much better of a story. For example when i went to Mexico on vacation i went cliff diving from 10 feet up into the ocean. I then came back and told my Friend that i dived from 20 feet up to make it sound more daring and exciting. I think i did this because during that time it felt like it was 20 feet and it felt like a very daring and exciting thing to do. but when i got home and was talking about it the words just did not do that memory justice. so i stretched the truth a little. Again i actually did go cliff diving and i actually experienced this so i think it is not OK when writers say something is true and this happened to them when they have never even experienced it so they have no clue what it is really like to do that thing.
