Joel: A myth is a narrative told to convey a community's traditional wisdom. Myths are not generally told in the modern world because there are no longer bodies of generally accepted truths that can be conveyed in this way. Giselle: Of course there are myths in the modern world. For example, there is the myth of the machine: we see the human body as a machine, to be fixed by mending defective parts. This may not be a narrative, but what medically trained specialist can deny the existence of that myth

In the given discourse, Joel states that myths are narratives "to convey a community's traditional wisdom." He further expressed his belief that "myths are not generally told in the modern world."

On the other side, Giselle counters Joel's claims by stating an analogy of a machine and human body. This analogy provides the counterexample of the definition of myths that Joel provides.

Thus, the correct answer is option E.
