Bloody Mary is one of the best and most interesting urban legends in the world, because this girl was once a queen until she got in a terrible accident. Bloody Mary was born on February 18, 1516. She was born in Greenwich, near London. She was a good sewer and a good dancer. Bloody Mary was the first queen of England at the age of thirty-seven. Mary became the queen of England in 1553. The story behind Bloody Mary is very interesting and unique.
Bloody Mary has changed over the years, because she was once a queen of England, and now she is a green monster. Bloody Mary was the sister of Prince Henry. She was married to a man named Phillip. In her house, she was like a slave, because her father killed her mother and expected her to do everything. She used to bathe in young women’s blood so she could try to stay young. She was always obsessed with her reflection in the mirror. She is true because she was this queen that was cruel to the town, and then she got punished, because she made this mistake. Bloody Mary was very cruel to women. One thing you do not want to do to Bloody Mary is not to look directly at her. Also never smile because she will disappear because she is jealous. . Bloody Mary was really mean to the people in the town, so they had her sit down in front of a mirror, and they cut her face. This was torture to her, because of what she did to the town. When they were finished cutting her face, she went and got in her car and then she had a wreck and that’s how she died in the car accident.
Before she died, this man that she was deeply in love with drowned from falling into a lake. That night, after this man died she crept around the houses by the lake looking for women. She was looking for new body parts so she could replace the old body parts from the dolls with the new ones. She made the doll parts so she could try to impress that man the drowned. She didn’t do a very good job, but she tried, and she still does try.
Bloody Mary died from Hemorrhage after a car accident, about 100 years ago on November 17, 1558 and they buried her in a wooden coffin. Mary was forty-two years old when she died. Since she died in white clothes, she pops up in the mirror in white clothes, and glowing eyes. Bloody Mary killed her own cousin. Bloody Mary will not kill you if you are a woman with a boy in a room. She will only kill you if you are a woman in a dark room by yourself.
Bloody Mary originated in England in 1558, and now she goes in a mirror and kills people. The accident caused Bloody Mary to turn from a beautiful queen into a pale looking monster. People say that she will scratch your face to death, but it is not true. She was a kidnapper who took people to her home and then cut their body parts and turned them into dolls. Bloody Mary had several different names for instance: Bloody Bones, Mary Worth, and Black Agnes. Bloody Mary is haunting the world and people do not know that she is. She is like a person who follows you around, and never stops. People only chant Bloody Mary to see how brave they really are. She either kills the people or she haunts the people for the rest of their life.
In conclusion, it is very important to understand the importance about urban legends. Several stories circulate and are untrue regarding the circumstances which lead to the events of Bloody Mary. Several people play tricks on others by daring them to try the Bloody Mary technique themselves. This is a very interesting legend to learn about which seems to continually have people curious to try themselves at home. However, it is important to investigate the facts about legends before believing other stories from unreliable sources.

Bloody Mary Research Paper

...The folklore “Bloody Mary” was believed to come from because of how evil she was and how she murdered people because of religious differences. the way you summon bloody Mary is you have to go to a room usually a bathroom at night, staring at the mirror, and repeating the name "Bloody Mary" three or more times in succession. Sometimes, a declaration of belief ("I believe in you") is required to accompany this incantatory naming process. Frequently, there is also an interaction among participants, such as a finger-pricking and blood-commingling step, to hasten the result. The corresponding expectation is that this series of steps will make the image of "Bloody Mary” typically, the bloodied figure of an adult female who died an unnatural death...

The Widgery Report

...On the 30th January 1972, British soldiers shot dead thirteen Irish nationalist civilians during a civil rights demonstration, which protested against the present discrimination and state tyranny against the Catholic minority; Derry city, Northern Ireland. This event is known as ‘Bloody Sunday’, argued to be the most devastating instance of the British state’s use of armed force against its own citizens (Dawson, 2005). Source two, an interview of a Catholic priest that attended the demonstration appears to be more valuable to a researcher seeking to understand the events. To compare, source three acts as less useful to a researcher due to the level of criticism it later received, which ultimately led to a fresh inquiry in 2010, named the Saville...

Transformation Is a Central Concern When Studying 'the Bloody Chamber' and 'the World's Wife'. How Far Would You Agree with This Observation?

...Transformation is a central concern when studying 'The Bloody Chamber' and 'The World's Wife'. How far would you agree with this observation? Transformation is a prominent theme in the 'The Bloody Chamber' and 'The World's Wife', with the transforming beast, the changing of man’s ideal of perfection and finally physical transformation occurring throughout both volumes. These 'transformations' are brought about via the chains of a patriarchal society which are imposed upon the female protagonists which causes them to have to leave their assumed role in society and assume a more independent and masculine role. Both authors use revisionism throughout their tales so as to allow both their feministic values to be expressed and to allow the female narrative voice to be heard and thus emphasise the sense of female empowerment and independence which permeates both volumes. As Sarah Gamble writes, both writers use the fairy tale as a vehicle for the perpetuation of female oppression in culture.[1] Transformation is a traditional theme of the fairy-tale with it being a key aspect of Carter's 'Cat tales.' In 'The Courtship of Mr Lyon', the love of Beauty is a catalyst for the metamorphosis of Mr Lyon which causes a transformation from his strong bestial qualities with his “unkempt” looks and his “rough, hot, stiff stubble” into the stereotype of the gentleman who walks calmly in the garden with his wife. Her enduring love for Mr Lyon develops him from the “leonine apparition” into...

The Bloody Benders

...The Bloody Benders were a family of German serial killers who owned a small general store and inn called the Wayside Inn in Osage township, Labette County, Kansas from 1872 to 1873. The alleged family consisted of John Bender, his wife Kate, son John Jr. and daughter Kate. While most people believe John and Kate were brother and sister, the two were known to have had a more intimate relationship and some people said that they claimed to be man and wife. Ma Bender spoke very little English and was so unfriendly that her neighbors took to calling her a “she-evil.” John Bender, who spoke English fluently with a German accent, was prone to laughing aimlessly which led ted many to consider him a “half-wit.” Kate Bender was attractive and a self-proclaimed healer and psychic. Kate’s popularity became a large attraction for the Bender’s inn. Although the elder Benders’ kept to themselves, Kate and her brother regularly attended Sunder school in nearby Harmony Grove. It was speculated that if a guest appeared to be wealthy, the Benders would give him a seat of honor at the table which was positioned over a trap door that led down into the cellar, with his back to the curtain. Kate would distract the guest, while John Bender or his son would come from behind the curtain and strike the guest on the right hand side of the skull with a hammer. The victim’s throat was then cut by one of the women to ensure his death. The body was then dropped through the trap door. Once in the cellar, the...

PRINTED IN ENGLAND AT THE OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS BY FREDERICK HALI, 76$ J 9 2/ PREFACE The writer of these pages makes no claim to be a historian, but he is concerned with the materials which go to the construction of true history. Occasionally he is led to revise the verdicts of historians on the ground of a renewed investigation of some isolated problem, or in the light of fuller information which has but lately become available. He hopes that he has done this with sufficient modesty. As a rule he has avoided direct controversy and has preferred a positive presentation of the revised position. He is well aware that when offered thus silently the corrections he desires to make are less likely to attract immediate attention than if he directly challenged fallacies which shelter under honoured names. But he writes from mere love of the subjects to which he has been drawn by the circumstances of his position and by local patriotism ; and he has experienced more than once the temporary blindness pro- duced by the dust of conflict.

Reflection Paper (Religion)

...I. Introduction ` Religion is one of the most influential topics in today’s society. When focusing on three different types of topics that necessary to me and my life, I decided to choose the three that The topics I chose to write on are: Did Jesus need to be born of a virgin, 0 Why are personal testimonies important in sharing the gospel, and If a person is a Christian, or does it matter how they live their lives? Yes, in order for Jesus to die for our sins He had to go through the birth canal so that He could be of temptation and human flesh and overcome it without sin. I think that personal testimonies are important in sharing the gospel because who better to show or tell you what God can do, than someone who has experienced it themselves. Yes they are. When a person is a Christian, they have to have a normal attitude about themselves, that they are loving and caring people who are God loving. I. Section One Did Jesus need to be born of a virgin? Yes, in order for Jesus to die for our sins, He had to go through the birth canal so that He could be of temptation and human flesh and overcome it without sin. From the day He was born until the day He died, Jesus was without sin to be a perfect sacrifice. Since, we are born into the world as sinners, a miraculous entrance into the world was required, and that’s why the virgin birth occurred. “For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and to...

Mary Barnett Cse

...My Thoughts Regarding the Mary Barnett Case Amanda Feeley Westwood College Ethics and Critical Thinking Dr. Henderson 01 November 2010 My Thoughts Regarding the Mary Barnett Case There are a few reasons in why I have concluded that Mary Barnett is guilty for second-degree murder of her child, Alison. Those reasons include: awareness of right and wrong, selfishness, and neglect. First, I would like to recap the case of Mary Barnett and some of the main details of the crime that she committed. On January 23, the defendant, Mary Barnett, left Chicago to visit her fiancé in San Francisco. She left her six month old daughter, Alison, unattended in the apartment. Seven days later, Mary returned to her apartment to find her daughter dead, she died from dehydration. Mary called the police and told them that she had left the child with a baby sitter, but later changed her story and said that she knew Alison would die in a day or two, and that she did not intend on returning home. She was charged with second-degree murder: intentional murder without premeditation. If convicted, she could face up to eighteen years in prison (Chaffee, 2009, p. 65). Next, are the key testimonies of the witnesses that spoke against and on Mary’s behalf during her trial. The witnesses and their testimonies played a key part in my decision of a guilty, verdict, of Mary’s actions. Mary was mentally evaluated by two different psychiatrists; one was her own personal...

Portraits

...Jean Fouquet: Etienne Chevalier Presented by St. Stephen Van Eyck's realism soon enjoyed international renown. In Italy, Bartolomco Fazio extolled the Flemish artist in 1455/56 as the "prince of our century's painters". In France, too, where Burgundian art was already well known, the new style quickly won favour, becoming known as "la nou-velle pratique". Traces of its influence can be felt in the work of Enguerrand Charonton, and in the celebrated Pieta of Villeneuve-les-Avignon, painted c. 1470 by an anonymous master of southern France. The donor, whose face is realistically represented, is shown kneeling in an attitude of prayer at the bottom left of the Pieta. His white robe, as well as the attribute of oriental architecture (the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem) against a gold background, suggest he has travelled as a pilgrim to Jerusalem. The artist has given powerful dramatic expression to the grief of the mourners, and the intention to introduce the donor into their company seems obvious enough. Nevertheless, the gaze and gestures of the donor have not (yet) made any impression on the holy figures themselves, so that he remains outside their gestural narrative. Although part of the painting, the donor thus seems somewhat isolated within it. His gaze is intended to be directed towards the events taking place, but in order meet his patron's demands, the artist has painted him looking less into the centre of the painting than diagonally out of it. Etienne Chevalier's...

Transcript of Mary

...University Mary, Mother of Jesus Transcript Submitted To Dr. William Joseph Subash NBST 515 By Lisa Tipton Centerville, OH May 4, 2014 Lesson 1 History and life of Mary Introduction We will look into the history and life of Mary Mother of Jesus. Mary’s background is a key to understanding her as the human mother of the Son of God. Luke 2:6 says, “And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.” Mary represented every human who needed deliverance.

The allegorical and secular functions present in Lorenzetti’s fresco depicts the city and landscape of Siena rather than a biblical scene which is represented in Duccio’s panel. Unlike Duccio’s panel and various other pieces produced during this time period, Lorenzetti’s panel depicts a secular or political theme rather than religious. Duccio’s panel is composed of great detail and depicts the court of Heaven. Mary and Jesus are the largest figures and the two are arranged in the center of the painting, making them the focus....

Judge Galina Yefremova rejected the petition, saying the court that sentenced Alekhina had already taken the child’s existence into account. Reaction: The crime that the two women had committed was very disrespectful, and definitely deserved harsh prosecution. They interrupted a church service and subjected people to whatever point they were trying to make. They covered their faces in church, a big disrespect in the Orthodox religion, stormed the Altar, forcing the church service to stop. Also, women are not allowed in Orthodox Altars, sang a prayer to the Virgin Mary which included swearing. Sinning there. and had their backs to the Altar, another disrespect. Imagine this happening in a Catholic church or a Muslim mosque. No one would be defending these girls if that was the case. But it was an Orthodox church in Russia, which is why people find this anti-Putin-ism related. They interfered with the Orthodox religion, showing disrespect and I support the court ruling.
