I hear voices, they're all around me. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself to never play that damn game. They say I'm crazy and maybe I am. Maybe whatever it is that haunts me, took my sanity and hid it away. Somewhere where it's impossible to find it, somewhere dark and sinister. Maybe they buried it deep down into the core of the earth and it's just sitting down there, waiting to be found. I sound crazy don't I? You think I'm crazy and it's okay because I think I am as well. I'm…

According to the excerpt from Empire of Illusion Chris Hedges claims that artifice is an essential skill for theatre. Hedges uses political leaders as an example for the propaganda to create intimacy within the people, but no longer have to be honest or sincere. I would say that Hedges is right and wrong at the same time . He does make points talking about political propaganda and how it draws intimacy towards people.When it comes to the narrative, his opinion on emotion is slightly false…

Based on a true story The following information you are about to read is loosely based on true events. The names, locations and minor unnoticeable details have been changed. Even though I corrected the statement to make it slightly more true, it is something along those lines. We never know exactly how true, but it admittedly makes those events slightly more terrifying when we believe it to be real. “Real” events such as murders, massacres and even the spiritual dark side. The moment we realize…

What we perceive is also not always real. Sometimes what we feel about a situation is not actually what will happen. Seeing is not believing. Perception is not reality. We see patients in a vegetative state as unconscious. They do not speak or respond to sounds, hunger, or pain. They are basically brain…

“Behind every myth lies a truth; beyond every legend is reality, as radiant as the story itself.” Many will believe; many will not.

Mermaids could be real because no one can disprove the historical background, modern-day research, and explanations. Historical backgrounds of…
