Written by Davidson and Lytle, Where Trouble Comes, it is depicted in their article as a mythical intrepertation. This is described with a scene in Deer Hunter, which it is exaggerated into a different perspective. It is also blown out of porportion making it seem worse than what the truth and reality really is. This idea is quoted as, " in their evil hands, their holiest myth of the west - the ritual of the one shot kill was pervered into an evil game of torture." (419) With a simple kill presented in the movie it is also drastically overstated. Movies doesn't necessarily bring what's war about. It shows how films can be portrayed and what the realistic life at war can be very differently seen. Therefore illustrates that as one may show one thing it can be viewed as well as another set of outcome.
In comparison, in Good Form by O' Brien, he states that "I remember his face, which was not a pretty face, because his jaw was in his throat, and I remember feeling the burden of responsibilty and grief." (203) This statement shows that O' Brien witnessed the tragic incident of a man's death. In addition, he explains in every detail about the man's body describing its facial position as well as body position. he also allows the viewers to have a clear and vivid feel upon his guilt upon his description about the man's dead corpse he saw. He paints the picture bringing the audience with him there.
