The Truth of Mythology
The truth of mythology is that there is always a lesson being taught. Every myth has a certain idea being portrayed through its story. In //Kua Fu Chases the Sun,// the lesson that was shown was that if someone thinks too highly of themselves, they will fail to complete their goal. This was shown when Kua Fu, a great giant, decided he would chase the sun and grab it so he could keep it for himself. Kua Fu was overly confident in himself and failed to catch the sun. Later on in the story, Kua Fu died of thirst because he would not stop chasing the sun. Another example of a lesson learned through a myth, is the story of Midas. Midas was a king who was very wealthy. One day, a god from the heavens, came to Midas and offered him a wish. Midas wished that everything he touched would turn to gold. Afterwards, Midas began turning everything into gold. Later though, Midas developed a hunger. He ordered his servants to bring him his finest grapes. However, when Midas tried to eat the grapes, they turned to gold in his mouth. Midas' wine also turned to gold before he could drink it. Midas then was unhappy with what he had wished for. The moral shown through this story is, one should be careful what one wishes for. In mythology, the truth is teaching a life lesson.

The Truth of Fear
The truth of fear is that it is something made by the mind. It is a reaction to something else. In Golding's //Lord of the Flies// , fear is aroused from all the characters when they first hear about some kind of beast. Afterwards, when some of them see a man in a paracheut, more fear becomes alive in them because of what they see. Throughout the whole story, all the boys constantly have fear in them because of what they see, and hear, and feel, etc. So the truth of fear is that it is an emotional reaction to something that is usually abnormal.

The Truth of Dreams
The truth of dreams is that they are simply what inspire us to go beyond what is seemingly impossible. Dreams are the things that give us the extra push in life to help us break new barriers and set the bar for the rest of life. In
