What quotation from the text best supports the central idea of "Good Form" by Tim O'Brien?
“It’s time to be blunt. I’m forty-three years old, true, and I’m a writer now, and a long time ago I walked through Quang Ngai Province as a foot soldier.”
“What stories can do, I guess, is make things present.”
“Here is the happening truth. I was once a soldier. There were many bodies, real bodies with real faces, but I was young then and I was afraid to look.”
“I want you to feel what I felt. I want you to know why the story-truth is sometimes truer than the happening truth.”
