Who is he?” “He is one of the greatest feared monsters by kids, he will take you away, bend his long arms, break your bones and rip your heart out.” Tommy started to get nervous.

“Where does Slenderman live?” Tommy typed on his phone. “Slenderman is the most feared monsters by children, he can follow you or be found in the woods. He does not have one look, he looks like your most feared person or monster.” Tommy started to panic, he started to have second thoughts on this boys trip, and wasn't sure if he really wanted to go.

As they started to arrive, Brandon made a joke saying he saw Slenderman, he realized Tommy was in a panic after reading more about him. “It's a joke, this dumb monster you have been worried about, isn't real. It's just a kids story.” Tommy started to become relieved. Arriving at the campsite, the boys started to set up their tents and get the beers in the cooler they set off to go venture in the woods.

    During the twentieth century, author William Golding produced one of the most groundbreaking novels of the era, “Lord of the Flies,” confronting the psychological aftermath of World War Two. Published in 1954, in the midst of crisis among the nation, Golding sets “Lord of the Flies” in the backdrop of an atomic war, in which a group of young boys deserted on an island, due to a plane crash, fear an imaginative creature they call “the beast.” Symbolizing fear, war and savagery of human nature, the children dread they are unable to escape the hauntings of the beast, initially appearing only in their nightmares, but now, externalized into a never-ending terror, ineluctable by the boys, no matter their age. Primarily, only the youngest of residents on the island believe the actuality of the beast, while the more mature children simply believe the little ones are speaking of demons exclusively in their nightmares.…

    Ron Carlson’s short stories, Bigfoot Stole My Wife and I am Bigfoot, provide two different perspectives of a situation, in which readers can try to differentiate the truth from reality. The statement given describes that not every truth told is what actually happened, instead it is subjective to a person’s opinion of what is occurring and what they choose to believe. Reality on the other hand is objective, where it is not impartial to one side, separating what is created from imagination and what is real. Before reading these short stories that give insight that presents different viewpoints, I conclude that truth and reality were similar to each other. However, after realizing the concept of not always believing what you are told, and to question if it is a fact or what one thinks is true, I consider that truth and reality are…
