The “truth” of mythology can be interpreted many ways, that this really is what the people of the particular culture believed or just the way they explained them. I believe that they are both, that myths are what the people of that culture really thought happened and why they happened. The ancient Greeks for example really believed that Odysseus lived and traveled on his epic journey. They believed that Zeus really did throw lightning when he was angry and that Demeter really did cause winter when Persephone was with Hades. They believed that there myths were the truth. However, myths were also only stories used to explain why these things happened. The ancient Greeks had no proof over what really made lightning or why winter really did come, so they created supernatural beings that made those things happen. People can really perceive myths how they want to as the truth or as an explanation.
 * The Truth of Mythology**

The Truth of Fear Lord of the Flies was all about fear. Man's fear of the unknown. The boys had no idea what the beast was and because of that they feared it. Because of their fear the boys slowly changed. They went from harmless english boys to island savages. They delt with their fear with savagery. In the real world we have delt with our fear through many ways war, racisim, and even use logic. We try to tame the fear just like the boys did with the beast. The fear however is within ourselves we must learn to tame what is inside of us.

The Truth of Dreams The truth about dreams is that our dreams are possible but when it comes to our dreams we are our own worst enemy. When you look at the characters dreams in some of the books we read they were responsible for bringing down their own dreams. For example in __Of Mice and Men__ Lennie and George had a dream to own a farm. The more people that were let into the dream the closer they got to actually having it. However, they made one fatal mistake that cost them their dream. They simply stoped beliving in their dream. Lennie was the only one left who did believe in the dream. When George shot Lennie and Lennie died the dream died with him.

I found it interesting that in all of my enteries that they were all dealing with mans inner nature. In the fear posting I talked about how we fear the unknown and how that fear is only inside of us. In the mythology posting I sort of implied that we make up stories to explain what we don't know. In the dream posting I talked about how we ruin our own dreams.

For my truth quetsion I did "why are we attracted to certain peopl?" This is about the truth of attraction. Why can someone be attracted to one person and someone else see the same person and not be attrcted to them at all? This then lead me to my other questions such as "what do guys find attractive verses what girls find attractive?" So far in my reasearch I have found that guys tend to have there brains be driven by beauty, shape, fantasy, and osession while females brains are driven by language, communication, and bonding. I have also found that when looking for a partner we are atttracted to healthy looking people for example clear skin, bright eyes, and a fit body are all signs of a healthy person. We are attracted to healthy people because we really are looking for people to have children with. For example, someone's lazy eye could trouble their spouse even if their spouse is really in love with them because a lazy eye sugests that the person has underlying health problems. I don't really know how I want to prestent my topic. A power point seems a bit dull so I was thinking of incorperateing a large poster with different movie clips. I was hopeing others could help me with telling me annoynomusly what they find attractive.
