What are 'mostly true stories' and can you give some examples?

One example is 'Persepolis'. It's a cartoon that tells the true story of Marjane Satrapi's life during and after the Islamic Revolution in Iran. It shows her childhood, her experiences in a foreign country, and her return to her homeland.

Sure. One example could be historical fiction. When an author writes a novel set in a historical period, they base it on true historical events (true stories) but then add fictional characters and plotlines. Like 'The Other Boleyn Girl' which is based on the true story of the Boleyn family in Tudor England but has a lot of fictional elements in it.

True. For example, the story of Helen Keller is a true story. She overcame great difficulties being deaf and blind to become an inspiring figure. False. There are urban legends like the one about alligators living in the sewers which is completely made up. There's no evidence to support such a wild claim.

One example is the Bell Witch Haunting. It's a well - known case in Tennessee. The Bell family was tormented by a mysterious entity. There were strange noises, physical attacks on family members, and objects moving on their own. Another is the Enfield Poltergeist case in England. Furniture moved, voices were heard, and children seemed to be the center of the strange occurrences. These are often considered as supernatural events based on true accounts.

One example could be the creed of many civil rights movements. For instance, the creed of the African - American civil rights movement in the United States was based on the true story of centuries of discrimination and oppression. People like Martin Luther King Jr. had a creed of non - violent resistance, which was rooted in the real experiences of the black community facing segregation, unequal treatment in all aspects of life from education to employment. Another example might be the creed of some religious groups that are founded on the real events and teachings of their founders which have been passed down through history as true accounts.

There are also covenants within Native American tribes. For example, some tribes had covenants regarding the use and sharing of land, hunting grounds, and water sources. These were based on their real - life experiences of living in harmony with nature and each other. These covenants were often passed down orally through generations and were an important part of their culture and survival.

Sure. 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald is one. It's set in the 1920s and reflects the real social situation of that time, like the parties of the rich. Another example is 'Schindler's List'. It's based on the true story of Oskar Schindler who saved many Jews during the Holocaust. And 'Into the Wild' is also a good one. It tells the story of Christopher McCandless based on real events, about his journey into the Alaskan wilderness.

Spanx is also a startup based on a true story. Sara Blakely, the founder, was frustrated with the lack of comfortable and slimming undergarments. So, she created Spanx, a brand of body - shaping underwear. Her own experiences and the real need she identified in the market drove the creation of this highly successful startup.

The story of Joan of Arc also inspired fairytale - like retellings. Joan was a real - life French heroine. In the fairytale versions, her courage and religious visions are often emphasized, and the story is sometimes simplified and made more magical, like she was a chosen one sent by the heavens to save France.

One example could be Komodo dragons. There are true stories about their hunting behavior in the wild. They are large and powerful reptiles native to certain Indonesian islands. Their ability to take down large prey like deer is well - documented in scientific studies and real - life observations.
