The Truth About Stories (Mar. 24)

I think Tom King told the same story in each chapter to maybe have people understand different ways of thinking about how the world was made. I like how in the first chapter he talks about how there doesn't have to be good and bad like there is in the bible. Also he says why didn't God just say to Adam and Eve I love you, but I am not happy with your behavior. I like how he thinks about the other story and if God would of did different things how different the story may have been and what it would have affected. I like the turtle story better about how the world was created because it does not make anyone bad, but it shows everyone working together to create a nice place to live.

I think the truth about stories means stories can be interpreted however you want because they will be changed with each person that tells them. These stories may or may not be true, but they all have meaning behind them. Each situation has a story behind them it is just what we want to believe. Each person perspective is different about a story, but each perspective may have truth behind them. I don't know if this is exactly what the title means, but this is how I interpret it.
