What to believe and what not to believe.
In The Polar Express by Chris Van Alls Bourg, a young boy shows that children are .
more likely in believing something then adults are. As the little boy grows older he.
realizes "" At one time most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed, it fell .
silent for all of them "" (pg 15). This shows that the younger the child the more capable .
they are in believing a myth. For example at one point in the story all of the little boys .
friends believed in Santa Clause, but as they grew older they started looking at the little .
boys evidence from a grown ups point of view, and realized that the little boy could have .
gotten the bell from any where and just said that Santa Clause gave it to him. Most people .
think as one grows older their beliefs and opinions start to change "" Though I've grown .
old, the bell still rings for me as it does for all who truly believe"" (pg 15). This not only .
shows that children can carry on their expanded imagination as they get older, but also .
that some adults still believe in some of their childhood myths. For example unlike the .
little boys sister and friends he grew older and still believes in the existence of Santa .
Clause. In conclusion it has been known that everyone's perspective changes as they .
grow older leaving them with a different opinion in certain fields in this case believing .
or not believe Santa Clause. .
