Is This Sort Of Exaggeration The Same As Lying? Where Do You Think O'Brien Has Done This In The Book So Far? Do You Believe Rat Kiley's Story About The Sweetheart Of The Song Tra Bong?

    It is kind of the same thing as lying. I mean, Rat might be telling some truth in his story, but I bet most of the stuff he says are just lies. I'm not sure where O'Brien has done this in the book so far. I don't completely believe Rat's story. In the book it says that "Rat had a reputation for exaggeration and overstatement" (O'Brien 89). So little parts in his story could be true, but most of the story could be made up, a.k.a. lies.
