Frankfurt feels that the truth of a story cannot always be expressed in different ways (i.e.: graphic novel, storytelling), and he’s irritated that some writers agree that fact is not always the “truth”. However, Miller believes that truth doesn’t necessarily make the message, but as long as the readers interpret the message then that’s all you need to have. She feels that even through a “true” story you can feel the emotional characteristics of it which makes up the story itself. It creates the story with its own tone, and mood. Frankfurt and Miller are practically complete opposites when discussing the “truth” of a story. When Frankfurt thinks that truth is the story, Miller feels that the way you present that truth is what creates it.
