A life without Myths

As our American studies class has gone into the topic of myths and the reality of certain myths, I came to ask myself, what would life be like without any myths. Would Clint Eastwood turn into a gun shy ranger, or would Rosa Parks turn into just another radical agitator just making a statement. I find that myths of done a lot more good for this country than people think. How would a teacher tell the story of Honest Abe or the Boston Massacre to 7 year old without these mythologies. I personally like myths more than the real stories because it gives this special ring to the story that if you were to tell it only using facts, it just wouldn't have that inner meaning to it. It reminds me of watching myth busters. They solve all of these myths that are either urban legends or things that are seen in movies. It's interesting to watch but after most of the segments, I kinda wish I hadn't watched it because it's a bit disappointing to see that certain things either can't or never had happened.
