History is more than the past and the present, it is a field of study where many questions are asked and many answers can be found. As a field, it is the interpretations of facts by historians, but how are historians able to objectively interpret the information? As Angus MacFayden said in Braveheart, as the character of Robert the Bruce, “Historians from England will say I am a liar, but history is written by those …showed first 75 words of 1388 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1388 total…therefore undermined is as much an abstraction as the individual outside of society (Carr 122).” History is the telling of facts in stories, but these stories are often told only by the successors and are sometimes changed by different societies. In conclusion, I believe history to be the continuous interaction of the historian, his facts, and his society’s thought collective in his or her search of finding the answer to the past and the present.
