  1. It is fact because everything they say was true and not make believe.
    One of the main ones is that Saint Patrick's Day was like a game of telephone that lasts forever and is now very different then how it started.
    I don't celebrate this holiday very much besides wearing green.

  2. The article is called facts vs Fiction is because it is telling you the real meaning behind St. Patrick's Day, because some people celebrate differently than it was celebrated a long time ago. Some misconceptions about St. Patrick's are that green is a lucky color, but really it is bad luck. At my house we don't celebrate St. Patrick's day every year but when we do we have green food for dinner.

  3. I think the article is called Fact vs. Fiction because there are facts about Saint Patrick's Day, and then there are made up stories. Misconceptions about St. Patrick's day are wearing green, because it was supposed to be St. Patrick's Blue. I celebrate by wearing green, mostly because I was born here in America.

  4. I think that the Irish take St. Patrick's day very seriously. The thought that they don't where much green because of fairies, I think is fake; but not wearing much green because of bad luck might be true. Some misunderstandings were when we thought that green was good to where and the Irish thought it was bad luck to wear green. Also when the Irish started to catch on to our tradition and where more green than they used to wear.

  5. I thought that this article was very good and I really enjoyed it! I think that the article is called Fact vs. Fiction because the real St. Patricts day colors were blue, and now they are green because americans thought green would be a beter color than blue. Well, I guess green is a better color than blue after all.

  7. This artice is called Fact vs. Fiction because it is comparing the facts and fiction about St. Patrick's Day. The misconception is the association of the color green. The confusion was the phrase " The wearing of the green" witch meant to wear shamrock. In my home sometimes we make Irish Soda Bread.

  8. The article is called Fact vs. Fiction because it talks about the facts from the real St. Patrick's Day in comparison to the new one. Some of the misconceptions of St. Patrick's Day include, the old one was two days and the new one is one day and green was bad luck to wear and now it is not. I don't really celebrate St. Patrick's Day at my house, but we all try to wear green.

  9. First of all, I think that this article is called Fact vs. Fiction because there are so many fake traditions made about St. Patrick’s Day. Some misconceptions, which means wrong ideas, for St. Patrick’s Day is that the color green is the color of the fairy folk and fairies steals children. It used to be a religious holiday but now it is a holiday that is widely shared throughout the world. My family celebrates St. Patrick’s Day with wearing the color green. Usually, if you are not wearing the color green we tickle each other, but never for long. We have a regular family dinner, nothing special. That’s all we really do.
