The Analysis of History and Fiction

History  is  an  interesting  and  timeless  thing  that  always  builds  on  itself.  It  is  the  telling  of  true  events  about  someone's  life  or  an  event  that  occurred,  and  it  can  be  looked  upon  for  future  lessons  about  life.  One  must  take  it  with  a  grain  of  salt  because  it  can  be  biased,  unreliable,  and  inaccurate.
Fiction  was  mainly  created  for  entertainment  and  the  telling  of  a  protagonist  against  an  antagonist  in  a  series  of  events.  Sometimes  it  can  be  a  reflection  about  the  authors  own  journey  through  life  through  a  fabrication  of  their  character(s)  and  how  they  handled  life's  hurdles.  Fiction  can  also  be  used  to  reflect  on  a  previous,  recent  or  possible future  event. Fiction  is  not  a  lie;  it  is  an  exaggerated  version  of  the  author’s  beliefs  and  truths.
Both  history  and  fiction  tell  a  story  with  characters,  events,  and  journeys  through  someone  else's  eyes.  Sometimes  this  story  telling  is  not  always  honest  or  reliable  because  facing  the  truth  of  what  really  happened  is  too  much,  so  the  author  or  the  famous  person  may  have  lied  or  glossed  over  certain  events  to  make  themselves  or  their  character(s)  look  better.  No  one  is  perfect,  and  true  history  and  fiction  is  revealing  the  good,  the  bad,  and  the  ugly  about  people  and  events  so  others  will  not  make  the  same  mistakes.
