The significance of Daniel Webster being the prominent speaker on this Forefathers Day is greater than this reading reveals. Daniel Webster was actually a very significant figure in the shaping of modern American culture. He made alterations to the English language in his first publication of 'Webster's Dictionary' that we still use today and that differentiates our vernacular from typical British English. Learning that he also fabricated this elaborate story of the Pilgrims landing on Plymouth rock that Americans still view as significant to our culture really shows the great impact he had (although it is rarely ever recognized).

This is a universally simple concept for humans to understand upon reading it, however, the extent to which it is true is beyond what any of us could imagine. I will give in example in terms of two books I have recently read, both of which tell one side of the same (fictional) story using different characters first person recollection of the events. The first book is a love story. It follows a young girl and her romance with a mysterious man who she deemed her love at first sight. The second one is about the exact same story, but it is from the boy's point of view where he outlines how he is luring the young girl to her death (he is a serial killer). If the second book had never been shared, readers never would have known the boy's true intentions; hence the whole story is flipped on its head. I presume this is not unlike many first person recollections in our own history books
