Photo Test

Wow. Not sure how else to describe my feelings towards some of the weirdest pictures I have ever seen. The fact that some people have enough time on their hands to create such weird images is astounding. I mean who fakes a picture of an 87 pound cat, is it really worth the time? The picture of a tourist on top of the World Trade Center with a plane in the background is not humorous in the least. I took all four quizzes and I learned to look at the lighting in the pictures, but even then it was almost impossible to tell the difference between a picture that was real or a hoax. Number six on the first test surprised me when it said it was real and not a hoax. It just didn't look real to me, but I guess the point was to trick the person into selecting hoax as their answer.

As storytellers we want to make everything seem real, we want our stories to be believable. If the story seems real it will likely draw the reader further into it.
