I have decided to use both stories for my essay. In "The Last True Story I’ll Ever Tell." John Crawford he writes‚ “It was just a vision of what home could or should be” (2822).

Crawford story is about a fictional account of what his life would be like when he returned home from Iraq. He and his wife takes a drive on a long road where they go
