In fences when the son wanted to try out for the baseball team, if he got in or not it would have changed his perspective which changes his truth. 
I also agree with Ethan's point on how everyone has different truths depending on how they perceive thing, but there is only one actual truth which is fats. But facts is not the truth, facts are facts. Therefore Truth is shaped by our own Perspectives.

Being a monster became his truth as soon as he believed he innately was due to the surface perception of others.

In The Things They Carried, O'Brien tells the audience that even if they witness something with their own eyes, they can never get the full truth to what happened, "It's difficult to separate what happened from what seems to happen", you can blink and miss something important but you wouldn't know that you missed it so your truth can be different from someone who witnessed the same thing.

Initially he had no intention of betraying the king but pressure from his wife was ultimately the cause of his desire to be king]]> 2019-05-29 14:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/maryamsultan17/vv5rdi1rbivl/wish/364350317 zoedaw1190 https://padlet.com/maryamsultan17/vv5rdi1rbivl/wish/364350492 Answering Kara's question: I think that both were definitely a part of problem. Lady Macbeth is pressuring him into murder and to stay on tract with the prophecies. But on the other hand, the witches gave him the idea to kill and to become king. ]]> 2019-05-29 14:25:56 UTC https://padlet.com/maryamsultan17/vv5rdi1rbivl/wish/364350492 https://padlet.com/maryamsultan17/vv5rdi1rbivl/wish/364351702 I feel that the group is missing a large emotional aspect of this discussion so far. Human behavior is not driven by past experiences alone, it is driven by the emotional growth ocurring from these events. And at the core of every struggle in the books we have read is the innate desire to be loved. The need for love of any kind from another is what has driven each character to act in morally questionable ways every time. The creature from Frankenstein is the most glaring example of this in its desperate vying for Victor's slightest affection that eventually pushes him off the brink. Fences has a similar struggling paternal bond between Corey and Troy in which Troy acts as a sort of father figure with questionable methods. The Things They Carried exhibited that need to be loved as the soldiers went off to battle instead of draft dodging, which they felt was right, in order to avoid losing the love of their families. Macbeth does everything he does to please Lady Macbeth at first, and only after does he consider his own wants. Every story is just the same.

In Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is pressuring Macbeth into killing the king even though he was thinking that he didn't want to in the beginning. ]]> 2019-05-29 14:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/maryamsultan17/vv5rdi1rbivl/wish/364352484 wilsonkon8466 https://padlet.com/maryamsultan17/vv5rdi1rbivl/wish/364352793 I agree with Kara's point of experience shaping the individual.

This comparison leads him to not let Cory play college football. 
"I told that boy about that football stuff. The white man ain't gonna let him get nowhere with that football," (Wilson 1.1)
