Stranger than Fiction
      Urban Myths
What is fiction?
   Fiction is the name given 
to stories that contain, in part 
or in whole, with information 
  or events that are not real, 
 but are imaginary —that is, 
    invented by the author.
Urban Myths
• The word urban describes an area of a city or
  town that is full of buildings, such as houses,
  offices and shops.

• The word myth refers to a story which is
  believed to be true, but in reality nobody
  knows whether it really happened or not.
