The Creation of this Blog

The big question I have chosen is "What is the importance of history?"

To be perfectly honest this wasn't what I first thought my "Big Question" was going to be. I predicted that I would end up with something out there like "What is reality?" However, the question of reality isn't always present in literature, so I decided that if I could find the common trait between "The Magus" and "The Odyssey" that that would bring up a universal and interesting question. It took me a little while to think of, however, I realized that history could be interpreted as the DNA of reality and explain the Greek importance of history (both of which I will point out later).
In thinking about it more I guess what appealed to me about this question was that it was one that I can pull into multiple directions, perhaps creating something new and interesting.
