True. For example, the story of Helen Keller is a true story. She overcame great difficulties being deaf and blind to become an inspiring figure. False. There are urban legends like the one about alligators living in the sewers which is completely made up. There's no evidence to support such a wild claim.
True. The story of the Wright brothers and their first flight is a well - documented true story. It was a remarkable achievement in human history. False. Some fictional tales like fairytales are false stories. For instance, Cinderella's story involves magic and talking animals which don't exist in real life. But they are told for entertainment and to convey certain moral lessons.
True. There are true stories of historical events like the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It was a real and significant moment in the United States' history. False. Myths such as the Greek myth of Zeus controlling thunderbolts are false. These were created by ancient cultures to explain natural phenomena when they didn't have scientific knowledge.
In 'Gatsby' from 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby appears to be a grand figure with his lavish parties and his pursuit of Daisy. But his wealth is ill - gotten through illegal means in the bootlegging era, and his actions are more about fulfilling his own self - centered desires rather than being a true hero. He is more of a false hero in the context of the story.
Sure. One example could be historical fiction. When an author writes a novel set in a historical period, they base it on true historical events (true stories) but then add fictional characters and plotlines. Like 'The Other Boleyn Girl' which is based on the true story of the Boleyn family in Tudor England but has a lot of fictional elements in it.
One example is 'Persepolis'. It's a cartoon that tells the true story of Marjane Satrapi's life during and after the Islamic Revolution in Iran. It shows her childhood, her experiences in a foreign country, and her return to her homeland.
Spanx is also a startup based on a true story. Sara Blakely, the founder, was frustrated with the lack of comfortable and slimming undergarments. So, she created Spanx, a brand of body - shaping underwear. Her own experiences and the real need she identified in the market drove the creation of this highly successful startup.
The legend of Robin Hood is also based on true stories. There were likely real outlaws in Sherwood Forest who robbed from the rich to give to the poor. The story has been passed down through generations, with elements of the social inequality of the time incorporated into the legend.
Sure. For example, if you had a really exciting trip to a beautiful beach. Later, you might dream about that beach, with the same clear water and soft sand. It's your brain re - experiencing the real event in a dream state.
Sure. 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald is one. It's set in the 1920s and reflects the real social situation of that time, like the parties of the rich. Another example is 'Schindler's List'. It's based on the true story of Oskar Schindler who saved many Jews during the Holocaust. And 'Into the Wild' is also a good one. It tells the story of Christopher McCandless based on real events, about his journey into the Alaskan wilderness.
One example is Airbnb. When it started, it was just an idea of two guys who were trying to make some extra money by renting out air mattresses in their apartment. They faced huge competition from established hotel chains. Hotels had brand recognition, resources, and a long - standing customer base. But Airbnb grew by focusing on a different model, leveraging the sharing economy. They managed to turn their small - scale idea into a global giant, which is a true underdog story in business.
One example could be Komodo dragons. There are true stories about their hunting behavior in the wild. They are large and powerful reptiles native to certain Indonesian islands. Their ability to take down large prey like deer is well - documented in scientific studies and real - life observations.
One example is the legend of King Arthur. There are historical elements that suggest there might have been a real figure around which the Arthurian legends grew. Another is the legend of Robin Hood. There may have been real outlaws in Sherwood Forest that inspired the tales of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.
