A small sidebar conversation has been slowly developing in the role-playing thread. I opened this post up to give a voice those students who wish to discuss our propensity for myths and legends.
(Note: the term ”Sic” is a Latin word meaning “thus”, “so”, “as such”, or “just as that”. It is used when quoting directly to indicate that the preceding grammatical or usage error was in the original document and is not a result of faulty transcription.)
Teiyuri started by stating that she “not believe in Lycans or faeries but vampires are understandable.” and went on to assert that “this world and universe is huge and even if we could live for all eternity we could still not discover all the secrets to [sic] it.”
Petros followed with his assertion that, to him, “vampires . . . are real fake and dumb. They started in movies and its gone to [sic] far.”
Martinique entered last into this conversation, and perhaps most tellingly, with her address to “believers:” ”
No offense to the people that [sic] think it is real [sic] but I just think it is a whole bunch of dumb stuff. Also i [sic] don’t get how some people could believe in fairies and things like that [sic] why whould there be so [sic] lady or man that is going to come and make your fantasies come true like when young children say there [sic] imaginary friend is there. Things like this to me jus [sic] gives [sic] everyone something random to talk about.”
What do you think about these three statements?
