When talking about literature most of the times we think in works like The Divine Comedy, or Don Quixote (Gardner, 170). We look for a good plot containing conflict, complications, rising actions, climax and falling action. Further, we expect to find at least a protagonist and an antagonist. Finally, we expect a thorough description of the setting. We then analyze or criticize the work using all these components. But what happens if a text doesn’t have all these components? Cultural critics try to broaden the canon by analyzing all texts; rather than, only traditional literary objects (Gardner, 171).
Tiny Giants: 101 Stories Under 101Words by Jason Sinclair Long contain one hundred one mini stories. These stories don’t have the traditional literary objects we are used to find in a story. In fact, at first some of them might feel as if they were taken from another, more traditional story. One of the stories is titled The Innocent Man and following the title the story is only composed by one sentence. This sentence reads “Cornered, he lashed out, becoming the monster for which they searched.” (Long, 78). And even if we cannot find many of the traditional literary objects like climax or even a setting, we can interpret so much of this powerful sentence.
To start with the title The Innocent Man prepare us to expect the story to be about a man that is facing some kind of conflict. It can be that he committed a crime, or that he is being accused of something he didn’t do, or that he is feeling guilty of something. Then, the first word “Cornered” denotes that he is feeling trapped. Following “he lashes out” from here we now know that he is responding to the feeling of being trapped. Finally “becoming the monster for which they searched.” This last part explains so much. We see how this man starting being innocent, but as he felt cornered there was nothing else for him to do but to become what everyone else thought of him.
Long´s words are so powerful because in just one sentence there is so much meaning. Further, many people can relate to them. No one is born guilty, or as monster, but sometimes life doesn’t give you any choice but to become one. There is nothing different in the genes of a criminal; in fact, the only difference is the situations that he had to face. Long’s stories might at first sight look like incomplete stories lacking components, but when analyzing them you realize that every word has a deep meaning.

Fiction Is Often Truer Than Nonfiction
By considering the greatest movies or television series in the history, there are some movies that are based on narrative novels. The likes of Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter and list goes on. This mesmerizing fact is a good piece of evidence to argue that fiction stories have found a very special place among people. However, some people argue that narrative stories only present entertainment to people and since the stories are unreal, audience may not perceive the main context of the stories. But the opposition group assert that fiction stories are often truer than nonfiction. Storytelling is a way of stating a fact or educating people in a way that the fact often being told indirectly through an enjoyable and grasping story. However, real stories are not always capable of delivering the desire fact that a writer intend to expose for many reasons. Hence, sometimes writers use narration to create a story in order to deliver a message to the readers. Due to the vast capacity of narration, writers are open to adjust the stories to form their desire format. However, distancing from reality sometimes can result in losing the useful property of stories, which is reveal a fact since they become somehow unbelievable for the readers. Valuable fiction stories normally are the ones that are close enough to reality in order to be believed. The Pigman by Paul Zindel provides a good source to evaluate the statement profoundly. The Pigman is a story of two college students who seem to be fed up of their home and the school environment. They build up a friendship with an old widower Pigman, who had been suffering from depression after the loss of his beloved wife. The story explores various aspects of humans’ live such as death, guilt and Animal love. Fiction Stories are often truer than nonfiction since writers in narrative stories are able to demonstrate a fact or a phenomenon like rites of passage through an appropriate setting, structure, and plot unlike nonfiction stories that facts usually being faded due to the vagueness property of reality. Furthermore, in spite of existence of narration, human senses like grief, guilt and anger cannot be eliminated in fiction.
Admittedly, the supreme attribute of fiction literature for a writer, is the freedom of choice in the structure and setting of a piece; meaning that writers can design a tale upon their preferences, and depending on the themes of the tale to underline the facts. Thus, the facts are often more visible in fiction comparing to nonfiction literature. There are techniques such as over-exaggeration that are commonly used to highlight the facts. Regarding to the Pigman story, Zindel intentionally benefits from these techniques throughout the tale. For instance, there some parts in the story as: “I DON’T HAPPEN TO BUY all of Lorraine’s stuff about omens. She tal ...

Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.
