Miller and Frankfurt "Truth"

Truth is defined by many people to mean different things, or in some instances, to have similar meanings. In the case of Frankfurt and Miller, it is obvious that they have some distinct differences when it comes down to what they define truth to be. For Frankfurt, truth is everything. Facts are essential, and lying is a horrible crime that takes away the value of a written piece. For Miller, however, she believes that it is not necessarily the facts that make a written piece truthful or important. Instead, she believes more in the accompanying emotions of the point trying to be made, to be the main focus. If the facts are tweaked, empasized or altered a bit, it doesn't matter. What does matter, is the point of the paper, or the emotion, etc. that is intended by the author for the reader to glean.
