There are so many different types of legends and there are so many types of legends. But honestly how do you know which one of them are actually true and are actually legit. No one really knows but in my opinion when it's passed down from generations it gets a little mixed up and can be interpreted differently. It can be different every time. But honestly it could have started out true but ended up really fake. For example like the game "telephone". I will be describing why this is and how it has happened through generations.

Several reasons why I find legends to be weird is because they don't follow the story line. It changes throughout time, and gets mixed up through time because people mix it up and put their own twist to things, and they want to spice up the story a little bit more. But what does that mean to the story it means it's not the same story as it originally was and it goes through generations to generations, and gets mixed up even more and more and more. I personally don't know why this has to be but it does for people self gain. people want that, everyone does it, and I mean everyone. …show more content…

But I could be wrong this is just my opinion. Remember people out there would do that, and that's why I don't believe these legends at all. Of course they are for fun and make people happy but is it true? It's not that's why I am arguing against it. I don't agree with it I hate legends cause they are just a waste of time to make entertainment, honestly I hate them. that's my stance on legends and remember that's my opinion. I don't agree with the whole changing the truth to a lie and honestly it could have been a lie in the beginning, that's why I don't listen to them or even looks towards them, they are a waste of time to

Society is an ever evolving element of life, and as society has changed over the years, so has works by authors and directors. As authors and directors gain influence from inspiring sources, they are also gaining influences from the surrounding culture and the time period that they are living in. This may even be subconsciously. New historicism is the theory that explains this and specifically focuses on just how the time period of a work changes and shows how an author's experiences come to life through a work. In Walt Disney’s, Cinderella, the time period glamorizes Cinderella’s journey to happiness while the Grimm Brothers version connects more with reality, teaching that media evolves to what society wants to see.

A myth is a false belief or idea. It is usually held within an old traditional story or it is a way to explain a natural or social phenomenon, typically involving supernatural creatures or events. Myths are stories of transformation. Many people are surprised to learn that ancient myth was often at least as violent, if not more so, than the mayhem of our modern fantasies. For example, The Godfather, and its companion, Godfather II, have been justly praised for excellence in such technical matters as acting and direction; their popularity is enhanced by less pleasant preoccupations: a lust for violence accentuated in recent years; an obsession with the details of organized crime; a cynical belief that only small distinctions separate lawless behavior from ordinary business practice.
