This week my sister came home from school with a book titled "The 101 Most Influential People who Never Lived". It looked interesting so I took a peak to see who was mentioned. Those included were Santa Claus, Robin Hood, Mickey Mouse, Kermit the Frog, and Luke Skywalker. Until seeing this book I never thought how fiction impacted our lives that much. On the cover it says the book shows "how characters of fiction, myths, legends, television, and movies have shaped our society, changed our behavior, and set the course of history." Those mentioned really have affected us a great deal and will continue the trend. We usually learn about these characters when we are young and we take after them for the rest of our lives to a certain extent. Everyday it seems like people are being influnced by something new, even though it might not be real.
