HOW MYTH
Why do humans blush when they’re embarrassed?
A very long time ago, there lived a God named Hermadeus. He was a strong and
powerful man, of which many people despised of. Although most people held hatred towards
Hermadeus, they could not protest against him for he was their God. Hermadeus was so powerful
that the humans seemed almost helpless against him. Hermadeus had two young assistants,
Keldon and Mylan, who acted as his servants. Day after day, he would order them to do multiple
tasks, making their lives as miserable as he could. If either of his assistants were ever to die, he
would select new assistants for him to torture. For the people, they all dreaded the ‘Selection Day,’
for no one wanted to be chosen as his new assistant. Keldon and Mylan were the two assistants
who had lasted the longest. One evening, when the sun had gone down, and Keldon and Mylan
had completed their last task for the day, they decided to sneak off and have some fun. It was their
one hundredth day of acting as a servant to Hermadeus, and so they wanted to celebrate. They
waited until Hermadeus was asleep and then travelled to the Land of Freedom. There, they
danced, sang and carelessly played around as if nothing else mattered. After what seemed like
hours, there was a sudden loud noise that broke their fun, and Hermadeus appeared from a cloud
of smoke. Keldon and Mylan were so embarrassed and ashamed of themselves for breaking the
rules and getting caught. Hermadeus was furious that they had disobeyed him and so he
performed the ‘Ritual of Shame.’ He shoved Keldon and Mylan to the ground, where he drew a line
of red paint on each of their cheeks. As he did this, he chanted a curse. He proclaimed that from
then on, whenever a person was to feel embarrassed, their cheeks shall turn red in colour. And so,
this is why humans now blush when they’re embarrassed.

REAL LIFE HERO REPORT
Introduction

others in a positive way. Terry Fox is just one of the many examples of heroes. Terry
Fox showed multiple admirable character traits such as optimism, courage and
perseverance. He is truly an inspiration to so many people and he is without doubt
a hero that will never be forgotten.
In the beginning
Terrance Stanley Fox was born on July 28th 1958 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. A few years
after, his family moved to Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, where he and his
siblings grew up. He had an older brother Fred, and a younger brother and sister,
Darrell and Judith. His parents were Betty and Rolly. From an early age, Terry was

How it all started
In 1977, Terry was diagnosed with oestrogenic sarcoma, which is a form of bone
cancer. His leg was then amputated six inches above his knee. Terry became angry
that Canada spends so little on cancer research and decided to do something about
it. He was going to run across the country in order to raise awareness and money for
cancer.
The Marathon of Hope
Before Terry was going to run across the country, he needed to train. At first, he kept
his goal a secret from his family. He informed them that he was training for the
Vancouver Marathon. It was about a year later, that Terry finally told his family
about his plan. On April 12th 1980, Terry dipped his artificial leg into the Atlantic
Ocean, as a start to his marathon. On average, he ran about 42 km every day, no
matter the weather conditions. After running for 143 days and a total of 5373 km,
Terry began to have breathing problems and pain in his chest. He was taken to a
hospital in British Columbia, where he discovered that the cancer had spread to his
lungs. Terry passed away on June 28th 1981.

Terry Fox received multiple awards such as the ‘Canadian of the Year’, ‘The Lou Marsh
Award’, ‘The Sword of Hope’, ‘Order of the Dogwood’, and ‘Companion of the Order of
Canada.’ As well, there were many schools, roads and monuments named after him or
in his honour, such as Mount Terry Fox, Terry Fox Courage Highway, the Terry Fox
stamp, and the Thunder Bay monument.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Terry Fox is truly an inspiration and a hero. He battled with cancer and
decided to do something about it. He did the Marathon of hope, not for fame, but to
raise awareness and money for cancer research. Now, there are schools, roads,
monuments, and awards in his honour. As well, many schools across Canada
participate annually in the Terry Fox Run, raising money and awareness for cancer
research, and continuing Terry’s dream. For one person to have such a huge impact on
so many people is incredible. His determination, perseverance, optimism,
compassion and courage make him a remarkable man, who will always be
remembered and honoured as a hero.
