Reread the first paragraph of "The Lives of the Dead." How does O'Brien set us up to believe this story? What techniques does he use to convince us this story is "true"? How are details used in this collection of stories in such a way that their truth is hard to deny?

that the mashine was talking hahahaha

if its apex this should be the correct answer

war information to be released publicly must first be deemed useless to the enemy

“way of writing” should be replaced with “writing style"

“idea” should be replaced with “purpose.”

maybe   “people from a long time ago” should be replaced with “elizabethans.”
