Can there be ‘different truths’ based on the perspectives of those involved?

I believe truth is based on perspective and perspective itself may not always align with reality. But this may vary depending on what is meant by perspective. If the means of truth to be sought is though physical perspective then their can only be one truth. But if it’s physical perspective that is interpreted and warped by the mind then the perspective is not original. Although the original perspective may be recovered through a series of questions, as exhibited in court.

Iceman’s story

(Kokona’s POV)                        

 

Today was the day I get to see my dad become a great man! He said today was the day he got to meet someone special! I think his name was Victor Emmanuel. He said he as important. But anyway, i get to go with him, I bet it will be fun!

“So dad, when do we meet this Victor person? I bet he’s pretty high class if he’s talking to you!” I said with a hint of sarcasm in my voice.

“Kokona dear, he’s a king. I must talk to him so we can have peace between us native people and his people. So we can’t mess this up! It could lead to a big fight or even a war.” my dad said sorta scared.

“What if this guy doesn’t accept our request? What would we do then? I mean like we can’t just fight the guy, right?” I said with a hint of sadness. I really wanted to be at peace with the white men.

“I’m not sure, but all we can do is hope. Now, I want you to get ready. We have a big journey ahead of us. King victor wants us up at the mountain by 8 o’clock in two days. You must wear your coats, I don’t want you to get cold.” he said with concern in his voice. I know he wants me to be safe and prepared. We both don’t know what lays at the mountains.

 

(Iceman’s POV)

 

We were at the spot. It was very cold and wet. I don’t really like it as much as my kokona did. She keep playing and making stuff with the snow. I wish I could see the beauty in the snow like her, but sadly I can’t, all I can see is white powder stuff that’s making me cold.

 

“Kokona dear, you should eat something.”

“Kay dad, but I should warn you.  I’M GOING TO EAT ALL THE FOOD! MUHAHAHAH!

“Now you won’t, because it’s all in my tummy.”

“Hey, not fair!”

“Just kiddi-”

“Look at what we have here!” said a husky voice “oh, sorry to interrupt you filthy people, but you must stop and die right now!” he said and started running towards me, and cut my shoulder. “Give me the girl then you live peacefully!” he said very intimidatingly.

“NEVER!”  I screamed.

“Then, hope you like my little friend!” as he takes his gun out Kokona made a stupid remark.

“But, we are all al-” 

Texas-JMyers

 

In Texas it is very hot and dry so I go through lots of sunscreen a month. I have to make sure I’m very hydrated throughout the day because in hot weather it’s easy to get dehydrated. Most of the time I will have to turn the air conditioning on because it gets so hot. I also need to think if it’s too hot when I go outside because sometimes it’s a little too hot for me to handle. But this heat comes in handy when I wanna go swimming in the Colorado River.

 

A Day In The Stone Age EHoffman

The Ice Age has just ended and there has been many changes to me and my families lives. We now have permanent settlements made out of stone and mud. The only way in is a ladder that goes from the ceiling straight into the house because there are no doors.  We have been very successful in making our own food, we have started farming and growing our own crops instead of gathering them. We have started domesticating animals and now use them to help us farm. We now have a government and all follow the same rules as one another. We also practice the same religion as one another and have built a building called a shrine as our main place to worship. We live near a river and have started building boats to travel down the river on. Our clothing is also a lot different than animal pelts. We are now using a loom to make fabric, since the Ice Age has ended we have been using thinner and lighter clothes because it is not always cold all the time. Life here is a lot more enjoyable we can be outside more and we don’t have to move out houses all of the time. We have more food and a lot of newer technology to make our life a whole lot easier.

Otzi Iceman Story- LPavelik

I packed my axe, and my arrows, and my bow and other tools. I was setting off to find a good spot to hunt! I, Otzi, am a very well known hunter. Hunting is my life, and I don’t know what I would do without it. Therefore, I need to find the best spot to do so.

 

It would be a very long journey, but I knew I would get there. To eat, I have deer and various types of grain. I also have with me three layers of clothing, that way I don’t get cold. I feel as if I am very prepared.

 

It is weird, though. I have been having really bad stomach pain. It has been happening for some time now, maybe about a few months, and it has been getting worse. Maybe it is my diet, or just my body adjusting to going hunting more often with little food. Whatever it is, I hope it goes away soon!

 

I set off for the top of the mountain, and from there I walked. I have climbed many mountains before, and this one might be the hardest. I will be climbing about 6,500 feet up! Compared to many other mountains I have climbed for hunting, this would be a stretch! I know I can make it, but it will be very challenging.

 

As I was about three fourths of the way up the mountain, I could hear somebody following me. Could it be an animal? I thought to myself. No, it couldn’t be! Most of the animals up here would be scared by the sight of a human. I won’t see vicious animals for at least a couple more miles.

 

I ran as fast as I could until I couldn’t run anymore. I found myself in a rocky hollow. It was silent for a while. Not a peep from any nature. No footsteps. Silent. That is until I turned around and saw a tall man pointing a bow at me!

 

I knew that there were many people that were jealous of my hunting skill, and would do anything to be number one, but I didn’t think that people would do this far! I was scared. I tried reasoning with the man that I could teach him to become a better hunter, but he wanted me dead. With a single arrow, he shot me in the shoulder. The last thing I remember is hitting my head on a rock, and then everything went black. Never again did I go hunting.

And that’s the end to my story. I didn’t live a very long life, but at least I got to spend it doing something I loved in the end.

ICEMAN

Right now I am running from John Cena who was trying to get me back for Not giving him back his backpack. Right now I am at the top of a mountain where I think I am safe. I have all of my tools, my ax my arrows/bow and my knife. I am the leader of my tribe and I am not in very good health. Last night I ate meat and vegetables and I cooked it over the fire I made. I am in Northern Italy by the mountains. I am in my mid forties. I am living in the Neolithic period when the copper age is. Wait who is that… oh no he is here! Oh no I’ve been shot right in the shoulder! In a matter of minutes I will bleed to death then oh no I’m in shock. I can’t hardly breath. Soon I will…
