Myths: True or not? //** October 11, 2007  What is truth? Truth is what's real and what you believe. What is truth in a myth? Now is where it gets complicated. What is truth in a myth is what you believe actually happened. If you think a myth is a fairy tale then you will find no truth in it. On the other hand, if you were like the Greeks, and believed their were god that created, protected, and destroy them, then you will find may truths in a myth. For example in the myth //Kua Fu Chases the// //Sun//, their is a real mountain called Mount Kua Fu. You can just believe that some random guy was walking around, saw a mountain, and named it Kua Fu, or you can believe that a real giant named Kua Fu had died here and this was his remains. Another example is whether Zeus and the other gods existed. If you believe in Greek myths then you might believe that they actually existed and did all the things they were said to have done. But then again if your a non-believer, then you might just read the interesting myths for fun. Either way, you're reading the same thing, just from different perspectives. I have given 2 examples of what is truth in a myth means. January 28, 2008 Fear. What exactly is it? Is it a feeling? Is it an emotion? Fear is feeling and an emotion. What is true about it is completely based on thought. What William Goldings wants people to see is that fear can't be seen or touched or any of the five senses. Fear lives inside you. It is the "beast within." What is true about fear is completely what you make it seem true. If you think that a evil headless zombie is trying to kill you, then it may seem very true that it will happened. Of course, there is also logic blended into the truth. The reason most people don't have the fear of being killed by a evil headless zombie is because zombies don't exist. The truth about fear is that the truth is what it seems. Now think of a fear you have. What makes you scared of it? Isn't it the fear of it coming true? When Ralph and his group were scared of "the beast," did they just make the beast up or was their evidence involved. I believe that the group feared the beast because some of the kids saw a beast with their own eyes. What cause the fear to grow is thinking what it can do to you. Fears of spiders. Fears of death. They all relate to this. Fear can only exist if it exist in your thoughts. That is why when you are on a roller coaster, you want to scream. Screaming will take you mind off of the fear of heights or the fear of speed. My advice for the next time you are scared of something is to think to yourself, "it won't happen."

**//The Truth about Dreams//** April 8, 2008 At first glance, a dream may seems like a false future wish of a single person. Each person has their own dreams so why even bother dealing with it? The truth is that a dream of a single person can affect everyone around them. Even so, whether a dream is really true depends on the person. If the person works hard reaching out to that dream, then the future will benefit for that person based on the dream. If the person decides to just let the dream goal and move on with a dreamless life, then nothing in that dream was actually true. What I am saying is that what is true in a dream is what you work to make it become reality. A dream that is not reached is just a fading thought of an indivisual, but if the dream is make come true, then others will be affect by the reality of your dream. Let's take George and Lennie's dream for example. In the end when Lennie died and they fail to reach that dream, barely anyone even knew about the dream. Now imagine George and Lennie achieving that dream. Candy for certain will be changed by the dream. Crooks may decide to change his mind and come along as well. That is already 2 lifes, benefitted for the better, becuase of someone else achieving their dream. With their dream coming true, entering reality, it was true that George and Lennie really got land like they hoped for. Their thought, their hope, came true. The truth about dreams is what you make come true. So if you want your dream to be true, work hard at it and it will become your reality.
