So far, I have developed many ideas in answering my "truth" in the cause of __world hunger__ and how we can combat hunger itself, but I still am in need of answering what past actions have been made to stop this world issue. If any of you have any suggestions in finding this or can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated! Also, what would be your opinions on the subject?

The truth of fear prompt really encompassed my idea of fears. I have discovered that the "truths" found in the paragraphs have developed more questions within my mind and help me to develop truths for my life.

What is the "truth" of mythology? Prompt #1

Although there are many ways in which the "truth"of mythology can be explained, two points can really overview the matter. First of all, a honest way of explaining mythology is how the world came to be. For example, the Aztecs believed that gods sacrificed themselves in order to create the sun and the moon. They also believed that the moon was dimmed due to a rabbit being thrown up at it. In addition to how the world came to be, the "truth of mythology includes how myths reflect the culture's values that's telling it. In __The Five Suns__ myth, the Aztecs viewed that the brave one gets the most reward, as in Nanahuatzin (a god), went in the fire first and Teccuciztecatl (also a god), followed. Also, they viewed that big egos can destroy the good aspects of living. Teccuciztecatl gave the greatest gifts and offerings for his big sacrifice, but became afraid when trying to walk into the fire. In conclusion, the truth of mythology has certain stand points to the subject, including how the world came to be and how the myths reflect different cultures' values.

===The truth of fear is encompassed in everyone, especially within the boys of __Lord of The Flies.__ Golding uses these boys to symbolize a significant characteristic within mankind, and this trait is portrayed throught the boy's actions, thoughts, and Golding's main message within the story. To begin, Jack, Ralph, Piggy, and other boys create fear within others and themselves through their actions. Piggy, an intelligent boy, was afraid that the idea of being civilized was being lost, and tryed to bring it back into the tribe with telling stories of his aunt and being hopeful of their rescue. The fear inside Piggy gave an idea of how Golding wants our civilization to last, and how it is being destroyed when the thought is not practiced. In addition to their actions, the boy's thoughts often brought the inner fright out of them, causing them to do terrible things. Jack, for example, was terrified of joining Ralph's tribe, so he and his crew would steal items from them and beat them up in order to show who's boss. When Ralph triumphed, Jack was put into even deeper despair, forcing him to commit trecherous acts. Furthermore, Golding's main message in the story reveals the real "truth" behind fear. William Golding wrote the novel with the intent to include certain elements of behavior through symbols scattered throughout the novel. With Piggy's glasses, he is able to see literally and figuratively, seeing how the beast represents potential evil within the other boys. This "evil" is only brought amongst certain conditions in which Jack becomes truly savage and Golding synthesizes this within the novel. In conclusion, Golding uses fear to interpret the evil within us, creating this image in the boys actions, thoughts, and Golding's own message described in __Lord of The Flies.__ ===

What is the “truth” about dreams?
=== ** Prompt #3 **** The truth of dreams is that they set the stage for the rest of your life. Dreams provide a sense of aspiration, which gives an important meaning to one’s life. Like with Lennie, from __Of Mice and Men__, in which he had hopes of getting land with George and Candy, which kept his dream of tending the rabbits alive. Lennie brought up his dream often, which helped in giving him and George a motivation. Also in the novel __Great Expectations__, in which Pip strived to be with his”one and only” Estella when they were young. His whole existence was encircled around Estella, and he became even more preoccupied with becoming better when she rejected him. Like Langston Hughes, stating, ’For if dreams die... life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly’ (Hughes), it is very important to keep dreams because they give a sense of purpose to life. They also make life a more exciting standpoint, ‘for when dreams go life is a barren field frozen with snow.’(Hughes). So the big question is what dream sets the stage for your life? **===
