[aisle] Appearances vs Reality Articles?

[Tasha Squires]

Hi!

I might be missing the mark here, so please disregard if you know this
isn't what the teacher wants, but you might want to look at some instances
of hoaxes. Seems to me that would be showing how things are presented as an
illusion to reality. You could look at some famous hoaxes like the Piltdown
Man, the Fairy Ring girls and even the stone giant that Jim Murphy wrote
about in The Giant and How He Humbugged America.

If you are looking for more recent things, what about the guy that believed
the rumors about Hilary Clinton and went into Cosmic Pizza and shot it up
thinking he was rescuing kids. Or even with the Sandy Hook kids and the
crisis actors idea.

I'm sure there are other examples that I'm forgetting right now, but that
could be a place to start, if you think this might be what the teacher
could use.

Good luck!
Tasha
