00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
Hello everyone.

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Welcome back.

3
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,000
I am Minhee Teacher, and today we are reading The Girl Who Drank

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
the Moon, Part Four: Truth and Fog.

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
This part is where many pieces begin to connect.

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Earlier in the book, the story may have felt like several

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,000
separate roads.

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Luna has one road.

9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Antain has another road.

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Xan has her memories.

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
The woman in the Tower has her own pain.

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
The Protectorate has its rules.

13
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
But now, those roads begin to move toward the same place.

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
The title uses the word fog.

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Fog is thick mist that makes it hard to see.

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
But in this book, fog is not only weather.

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Fog is also confusion.

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Fog is a false story.

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Fog is what happens when people cannot see the truth clearly.

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000
When the fog begins to lift, characters can see more.

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
But seeing the truth does not automatically make life easy.

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Sometimes truth feels scary because it asks us to change.

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
It asks us to admit that we were wrong.

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
It asks us to face pain that was hidden for a long time.

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Let's explain this with a simple classroom picture.

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Imagine your class is solving a mystery puzzle.

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
At first, every clue looks separate.

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
One clue is on the desk.

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
One clue is near the window.

30
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
One clue is in a notebook.

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
But then someone says, "Wait.

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
These clues are connected." Suddenly the puzzle becomes clearer.

33
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000
That is what Part Four does.

34
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,000
This part also helps us understand origin stories.

35
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,000
An origin is where something begins.

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
When we learn the origin of a problem, we can judge the problem

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000
more carefully.

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:11,000
We can ask, "Was this caused by one bad person, or by a whole

39
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
system of fear and lies?" Let's learn five useful words.

40
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,000
First, fog.

41
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Fog is thick mist that makes it hard to see.

42
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
In this story, fog also means confusion.

43
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Second, truth.

44
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Truth means what is real.

45
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
The truth is different from the town's old story.

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Third, origin.

47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Origin means where something begins.

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
An origin story explains how a problem started.

49
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Fourth, converge.

50
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Converge means to come together from different directions.

51
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Several paths converge in the woods.

52
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Fifth, shocking.

53
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Shocking means very surprising and hard to accept.

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Some truths in this part are shocking.

55
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Now let's practice shadowing.

56
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
The fog begins to lift.

57
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Truth can be scary at first.

58
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Different paths begin to converge.

59
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
An origin story changes our understanding.

60
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
A character must be brave when truth appears.

61
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Great reading.

62
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Here is your final thinking question.

63
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,000
What should a person do when a comforting story turns out to be

64
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
false?

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Think about that question before the final part.

66
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Next time, we will talk about choice, reunion, grief, and hope.

67
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:39,000
See you soon.
