In the book "The Truth About Stories," Thomas King explores the power of narratives and the enormous effect that it has on how we perceive the world and one another. Thomas King explores the complex connection between stories and the formation of individual and community identities by reflecting on his own experiences and ancestry. King, who was born in 1943 and is of Cherokee and Greek ancestry, was raised in California.

King has backgrounds in literature, anthropology, and law.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court tells the story of Connecticut Yankee, Hank Morgan, being sent back in time to King Arthur’s Court, in 528. Through his experiences in the medieval time period, Hank learns much about himself but also about others. It seems that Hank’s troubles and triumphs throughout the story provide a commentary on his own human nature, as well as the human nature of others. As a result of Hank and the people in King Arthurs Court having different beliefs, ideals, and virtues, the reader is supposed to grasp that human nature is different in diverse situations, circumstances, and societies. This variance in human nature comes as a result of the atmosphere that the human lives in.
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court follows the story of, and begins with a highly confused Yankee who suddenly finds himself in a place which he assumes to be an insane asylum but, is actually England in the year 528.

In the meantime, he discovers he is a prisoner of Sir Kay and is being presented to Arthur and will be burned. To escape his predicament, he pretends to be a wizard like the great Merlin and threaten to blot out the sun if he is not freed. His plan works flawlessly, functionally making him royalty in the kingdom and he is freed to live a life of luxury.
Surrealism Surrealism is the use of non rational imagery to give insight to the book’s characters’ subconscious thoughts. The Things They Carried specifically references surrealism in “How to Tell a True War Story” and how it is such a big factor in war stories.

Surrealism is apparent in many if not all chapters of the story.
When we think of a story, we might think that it only serves as a purpose of entertainment, but Thomas King has his own interpretation of what stories bring into and affect our lives. In “The truth about stories”, Thomas King utilizes weaving narratives and states that stories are powerful tools for understanding ourselves and our place in the world. He argues that stories are not just a form of entertainment, but are fundamental to how we understand and make sense of the world around us. One way that King connects these stories thematically is through the idea that stories shape our sense of self and our place in the world.

This heroic journey, probably lost in ages to pass; tells the true origin of King Arthur’s father, a story that is no doubt going to be subjected to the fabrication and the falsehoods by future writers desiring fame and historical significance.
