The frame story depicts the author’s daughter, Kathleen, asking whether her father had ever killed someone in war. The fact that the author struggles to answer this question, and even lies to his daughter, shows that this issue still weighs heavily on him. Thus, this frame story adds depth and weight to the central story about the battle in My Khe and the killing of a young Vietnamese soldier. The frame story illustrates that incidents from the war have resonated throughout the author’s life

a contingency break; inattentional blindness

This scene is an example of a contingency break. A contingency break is when, in a piece of media (usually children movies or TV shows) a scene occurs that is immediately retconned in the next scene. A common example of this is in children's cartoons, when a character may have gotten their clothes dirty in one scene, but they are back to normal in the next with no time for them to have been cleaned. This applies to the movie <em>Shrek</em>, as the three blind mice are turned into horses in one frame, but are back to the status quo in the next.

Inattentional blindness is the failure to notice a fully visible, but unexpected, object/action because one's attention was on another object/action. A contingency break can be considered a "real-life" example of inattentional blindness because, if this scene occurred in real-life, you would not notice the mice turning back to normal as your attention was not focused on them.
