Legend • An old story; a story that has been passed down for generations, especially one that is presented as history but is unlikely to be true
Example of Legend • Robin hood is a legend because it is an example of modern folk-mythology is a creature built up, generation by generation, to meet the needs and desires of his audience. The earliest Robin Hood was a yeoman, not a wronged nobleman, who haunted Barnsdale Forest, not Sherwood; he didn't become a Saxon or mere Englishman fighting the Norman oppressor until Sir Walter Scott dressed him up for his walk-on in Ivanhoe. The original outlaw behind Batman and Zorro and The Scarlet Pimpernel was a ragged ruffian who might have worn Lincoln Green, whose shadow stretching across the centuries tells us much about our changing understanding of order, justice, and honor.
Example of Legend • The highway man is a legend because this story has been stretched, changed, or modified as it has been passed down for a period of time. • This takes place in history but is most likely not true.
Conclusion • A legend is important because it makes a story a little more far fetched. This would allow stuff to happen that did not really happen but it is still believable. In other words the story gets stretched making them funnier.
