Today I read "The Death of Karen Silkwood", abook in the Oxford University Press series. It was written by Joyce Hannam.
The difference between a true story and a fictional one is this: a fictional story has an ending, but a true story does not. When we have read the last page of a fictional story, we know everything: there is nothing more to discover. In a true story, there is always more to find out, because we can never know it all. People often say that real life is stranger than fiction. It can certainly be just as frightening – and sometimes much more worrying. This is a true story about the death of Karen Silkwood. Her death is a mystery. Was it an accident? It’s the old, old question: ‘Did she fall, or was she pushed?’ We don’t know. But somebody does. Somebody out there, in the real world, knows if her death was an accident, or if it was not. Somebody knows – somebody who is alive and well and living an ordinary life, somewhere in America, and who remembers what really happened . .
Although there are many mysterious parts in the end, it is certain that it is disappointing that such a courageous young woman with strong sense of justice has died.
If you are interested, please read it. I recommend it.
