What is truth? Frankfurt states that truth is the facts. It is the event without any bias involved. An individual can transcend his experience and relate the truth without any bias. Miller contends that this is not the case. Two examples that she gives is the "truthiness" and "emotional truth." Truthiness is like the instinctive recollection of a memory. There is no analysis of evidence, no questioning yourself, just the recollection. The emotional truth is where the author wants to convey the emotions of the moment. Exaggeration and event manipulation is involved so the audience can fee what the writer felt at the moment.
