...The Loch Ness Monster For many years, Northern Scotland has had sightings of a mysterious monster. This monster is called the Loch Ness Monster. The Loch Ness Monster is real because of the evidence in the number of sightings over the past centuries. The Loch Ness Monster was first sighted in Loch Ness. Loch is the Scottish word for lake. The first recorded sighting of the monster was in 500 A.D. by St. Columba. A nickname for this monster is Nessie. People describe Nessie as 30 ft. long, flippers and a long neck. Loch Ness used to be part of the North Sea, but the lands shifted and these bodies of water were separated. Most people think that Nessie got trapped in the Loch during this separation. It is a known fact that dinosaurs lived in that area. One of the dinosaurs in this area was called the Plesiosaur. Plesiosaurs reportedly have large capacity lungs to allow them to live underwater for a long time without surfacing for air (Loch Ness Monster)....

...evidence needed to give an answer. The particular mystery I have chosen has a museum dedicated to it. I am talking about the Lock Ness Monster. With all of the evidence available to me, I make the point that this may not be a dinosaur like creature but just a very large fish or group of fish. Loch Ness in Scotland was formed about ten thousand years ago at the end of the last great ice age. It is fed by forty plus small rivers, and keeps its same temperature all year round. The Loch Ness is said to be home to a creature commonly known as Nessie. The Loch Ness Monster mystery is a little less than fifteen hundred years old. Albert Jack indicates in his article “Loch Ness Monsters and Raining Frogs,” that the first documented sighting of the Loch Ness monster was in AD 565. The man who discovered Nessie, was the Christian missionary Saint Columba. Saint Columba explained it as this, “they were burying a fellow tribesman who had been out on the loch in his boat when he had been attacked by a monster. Columba immediately ordered young Lugne Mocumin, one of his own followers, to swim across the loch to retrieve the dead man's boat. Detecting lunch was on its way again, the great beast reared up out of the water, at which Columba held up his cross and roared: 'Thou shalt go no further, nor touch the man; go back with all speed!' And with that, the terrified monster apparently turned tail and 'fled more quickly than if it had been pulled back with ropes, though it had just got so near to...

...How History Should Be Done History should be about finding the truth. The is explanation is aiming to get rid of bias and stay based on fact. Then, I connect this an actual historical event. Methodology You need to find a wide range of evidence that is credible. For example, if a conqueror conquered these lands take evidence from all of those places. We must focus on the facts we cannot believe any stories/fiction and must go on what could be close related to the evidence or just do not use the evidence at all. Such as, “Antonio was on his ship then the loch ness monster destroyed the ship and his crew leaving him the only man alive”. We know the loch ness monster does not exist but could Antonio’s ship have been destroyed yes but, we do not...

...I think that the word “myth” means something legendary or traditional. Some people say “it’s a myth” because they don’t think that it is true. According to www.dictionary.reference.com, it states that “a myth is something that is a traditional or legendary story that is told to others”. Myths are also things that people don’t think that is true or real and want to prove it. To me, I think that the word “myth” means something legendary as I explained in the beginning. Some things that people claim to be a myth goes as following: the Greek Gods, the loch ness monster, and La Llorona. Myths come in all different types of cultures because it depends on what you believe. Some of the most common mythological themes that come across the different cultures would be: Arabian, Armenian, Celtic, Christian, Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, Hindu, Islamic, Japanese, and many more. According to www.bibliotecapleyades.net, it states “there are more than just two types of cultures. There are many more than you can imagine”. People just think there are only a few types of mythology, when different types of cultures have their own style. The relationship between belief, knowledge, mythology, and religion is somewhat tied together. Knowledge is something that consists of acquired information, such as facts, truths, stories, etc. Belief is the assertion that something is true without having necessary proof, evidence, or facts to back it up. A myth is a fictional story, usually with a hero or an event, often...

...words. 1. I believe in today’s world when the word “myth” is used, most people are saying it in the context that something is made up and/or is untrue. It takes the place of phrases such as “that’s an old wives’ tale” or “that’s an urban legend.” In academic context, a myth is a story that did or did not happen and has been passed down for years and years basically. After considering the definition in the course material and textbook, and from the information on how the myth is used in today’s society, I think that the definition I had in my head of what the word myth means stays pretty much the same. I think that a myth is just a story that is continuously passed on from generation to generation that can’t be proven. The loch ness monster is a good example. Plenty of stories about seeing the mythological icon, but no proof. • Why do myths from different cultures around the world address such similar or universal themes? Think about how myths explain the unknown and the tribulations of mankind. 2. I think that different cultures address similar themes because of the way the myths have been told. Each culture may have the same myths in their history, but just a different way of telling it. For instance, the way that the creation of man came about. A lot of the myths on how we were created are very similar in content, but have different characters in a sense. I do have a theory on how this works (different cultures having similarly themed myths). The first...

...ENG 101E J.Mullen Living in Wonderland Kaloyan Kolev The life of a college student has given me the great opportunity to observe student behavior. Usually I meet quite ordinary students. Some of them are interested in studying, others in fashion, music or computer games. However, I have also met students who are intriguingly different - to say the least. Recently I received the divine inspiration that there are four main types of abnormal students that are either of extraterrestrial origin or are the product of some kind of evil sorcery: The Zealot, The Casper, The Bear and The Challenger. The Zealot takes classes more seriously than he should. He believes that if he doesn’t get an “A” on every single test, he will be crucified, God himself will come down to earth to unleash the Holy Armageddon upon him and the gates of Heaven will forever stay closed for his soul. The Zealot always comes to class looking as if wild wolves have been chasing him to school. Looking like he has seen the headless horseman, he quickly makes his way to his desk and immediately opens his books and starts reading. For him every second counts when it comes to studying. During a class, the Zealot is always listening...

...the Scottish Highlands that Loch Ness is home to a mysterious aquatic animal. When the Romans first came to northern Scotland in the first century A.D., they found the Highlands occupied by fierce, tattoo-covered tribes called the Picts, or painted people. The Picts were amazed by all the animals and took great care in drawing them. All of the animals they drew are easily recognizable… except for one, which has attained a mythical status. It’s a very strange animal with an elongated beak or muzzle, a head locket or spout, and fins instead of feet. In Scottish folklore, large animals are mostly associated with bodies of water, from small streams to the largest lakes. These “water-horses”...

...“Hey, Alex there’s something I need to show you” “Sure what is it?” Alex replied soon after we were heading towards the cave before we made it I told her to close her eyes and I guided her into the cave. Inside was a sleeping Loch Ness Monster, it was hard to believe this affectionate creature was actually called a monster. When Alex opened her eyes and saw Nessie she wasn’t happy to say the least. Her eyes widened, her breathe heavy but before she could scream I covered her mouth, I couldn't let her draw attention to this cave. I had to explain the situation quickly “Listen I know you're scared but they mean no harm, I brought them here when we went on that walk together the day we arrived”. At that point Nessie eyes were starting to open, it was silent for what felt like an eternity before I was flooded with questions from Alex. Nessie was completely awake now and I went to them and sat down. Nessie then placed its head on my lap as I pet them. In that time I told Alex that I need to get Nessie back to the lake...

Zoologists, who believe IN Nessie’s existence, thinks that a prehistoric saurian family, so called plesiosaurus’, has survived in the depths of the sea, where it has fed of eel, salmon and trout, which is to be found in huge quantities in Loch Ness. The first written account about Nessie descends from the year 565, and since then Nessie has been seen many times, partly as a shadow right under the water level and partly as inexplicable humps in the water. 22nd July 1933 she actually came up from the water, if you should believe Mr. Spicer and his wife, who an early morning, drove through the winding road between the towns Dores and Foyers. They saw a giant creature lumber across the road, which at this point is very...

...“I got you now!” Jor said as he rose from his seat. “No! You don’t!” I replied with a sneer look on my face. The Chicago Bulls beat the Charlotte Hornets by two points. “I knew you’d miss the last shot,” I added. “Shut up! I’ll get you next time,” Jor said furiously. He raged away from the TV, dropping his controller. He walked into his room completely frustrated and slammed the door behind him. I was pleased and carried on with my game. It was an unusual day. The sun was nowhere to be seen and the sky just kept on crying. It had been raining since I woke up. I could feel a rush of wind every now and then. The coldness made my breath visible. It was 6:30 in the morning and I was still on about the game. I was so focused on being the best. Or so I thought. I was interrupted by intermittent irritating barks. I paused the screen and investigated what my adorable tamed dogs were up to. I looked through the window pane and saw them barking and running into a frenzy. I noticed that my dogs were stepping on water. I realised that it was flooding and the water had reached the front yard. The sky kept on pouring water and it showed no signs of stopping. Unfortunately, I had to stop and act quickly. I opened my front door and ordered my dogs to come in. As soon as the three went in, I rushed and barged into my brother’s room. “Hey, look outside! It’s flooding and the rain isn’t stopping, the water just reached our front yard. What should we do?” I nervously...

...it made its way into the sky. 5.) The Greek legend states that Chimera had a physical appearance of a lion, goat and a serpent and it was a complex creature. She was believed to be a ferocious blaze eating monster and was a terrifying looking beast. Legends say that not only Chimera was a frightening monster, but it was also a threatening opponent in battles. Chimera was able to use the powers of all three (the lion, goat and the serpent) and as a result it made it extremely powerful. Greek mythology narrates that Chimera was actually a female and was then known as “Chimaera”, a term which the Greeks used for a she goat. It is believed that Chimera met its destiny at the hands of Bellerophon, a young warrior, who slayed this monster with the help of Pegasus, the popular winged...

...poor. It’s a culture’s community and historical traditions. If culture’s didn’t have oral traditions there would be NO communication.They were an important source of entertainment for peasants and princes alike in days of yore and still serve the same purpose today. But, folktales also serve another purpose, that is, to tell us about the way life was for the common man. History books are filled with the names and dates and events which shaped our world. It is folklore, however, which remembers the hopes, fears, dreams and details of everyday lives.It helps them create different types of story lines and mythical creatures, without it, it wouldn’t mean anything, there would be no entertainment.

...For years, thousands of people have been told the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. But today, there seems to be something as monstrous and endangering as this mythical creature that has destroyed hundreds of pond habitats, called the Asian Swamp Eel. These small monsters are highly invasive, and no one knows where they came from. The article, "Asian Swamp Eel Threatens Native N.J. Wildlife" by Brian Murray explains how biologists found these unfriendly eels in a pond. A newsletter, "Asian Swamp Eel", by Christopher Smith explains the introduction of these creatures and what people are doing to prevent their spread. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources also made an informative memo which explains their unique characteristics. And a video called, "Asian Swamp eels in Silver Lake", by Nj.com explains their crazy adaptations that make them so dangerous....
