Joan Lindsey's novel "Picnic at Hanging Rock" is entirely fictitious. It has absolutely no basis in fact, but the manner in which it was written does add to the possibility of it being based on a true story, and Joan Lindsey never dispelled this myth. In fact, she even hinted that it might be based on fact. In this way, greater interest was generated in the book. The only truth to the story is that the geological feature known as Hanging Rock is a real feature at Mt Macedon, north of Melbourne. Besides, Valentine's Day in 1900 (February 14) was a Wednesday. In the story it is stated to be a Saturday.

In the book "The Chrysalids" by John Wyndham, three of the axioms hanging in Jacob's home are: "The Norm is the True, the True is the Norm," "The Purity of the Race is the Will of God," and "Blessed is the Norm." These axioms reflect the strict and oppressive society in Waknuk, where conformity and purity are highly valued, and any deviations are considered blasphemous. Jacob's adherence to these axioms contributes to the tension and conflict in the novel as he struggles with his son David's telepathic abilities.

Is family picnic an economic activity?

Well, let's think about it like a happy little tree. A family picnic can be an economic activity if you consider the cost of food, transportation, and supplies. But remember, the true value of a family picnic comes from the joy and togetherness it brings, not just the money spent. So, whether it's economic or not, the memories created are priceless.
