What+is+Truth?

Introduction
Over the course of this year, we will be asking (and attempting to answer) this "big question"... one that philosophers have been asking for centuries! Post a response to the prompts below on your individual wiki "truth blog." Always title and date your entries, putting the most recent entry at the top. After you have posted your response, read and post a "discussion" to at least two other people from either class. NOTE: These are free-response prompts, but should make clear points, use evidence, and be grammatically correct.

**Prompt #5 (April 3): Truth in __Of Mice and Men__**
Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men explores themes of dreams, loneliness, equality and relationships that parallel many of the other texts we have read this year. Which theme do you think is most important? What is the "truth" about that theme revealed in the novel?

**Prompt #4 (March 30): Truth in __Great Expectations__**
Think about the different ways Dickens uses the idea of "expectations" in his novel. What is the truth about our expectations, either those we have for ourselves, those others have for us, or those we have for other people?

**Prompt #3 (January 6): Truth in __To Kill a Mockingbird__**
Reflect on our reading from __To Kill a Mockingbird__. We looked at issues of education, growing up, justice, fairness, and others. In our writing, we looked for connections between our personal experiences and those of the characters in the novels. What "truths" can be found in this book that relate to our world today?

**Prompt #2 (November 6): Truth in __Lord of the Flies__**
In our reading of William Golding's __Lord of the Flies__, we looked at issues of fear and evil, the "beast within." What can we learn and apply from Golding's work, either on a personal or societal level? What truths did you find in this novel or in our discussions about it?

**Prompt #1 (October 6): What is the “truth” of mythology?**
The general term “mythology” encompasses the stories that a culture creates to understand the truth of the world they live in and their place within it. From a personal standpoint, it is about understanding who we are and where we fit in our world experience. What is the "truth" of mythology as we have studied it? What truth have you learned from our investigations? What personal truths have been revealed to you?
