...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)....

...over in 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”...

...“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...

...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...

...“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...

...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...

...own 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...

...“This is the word of the LORD: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts” Integrity Produces Excellence This morning I will share how integrity produces a life of excellence. Remember to project your voice Open In Prayer Father I pray that as I share today your word will bring revelation to our lives. AMEN Opening Today we continue with the subject of Honesty and Integrity. Ps John has shared on Honesty is the only policy reasons we lie and facing the consequences. Last week he also spoke on Integrity today I will share on how integrity in our lives produces a life of excellence. 1. God loves a person that holds fast to their integrity Job 2:3 says: Then the LORD said to satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause." We can see in this scripture that God loves a person that holds fast to their integrity so much that He boasts to satan that Job is a man of integrity and he holds fast to it. Remember to project your voice Today I would like to ask you, are you a person that holds onto your integrity when difficult times comes? Integrity is defined in the Webster’s dictionary as: Integrity comprises the personal inner sense of "wholeness" deriving from honesty and consistent uprightness of character...

...says ‘some say you are the mayor of Chicago’. We also learn that Capone has a criminal background when he openly admits that he is a business man who took advantage of prohibition. Ness was introduced in his home with his wife the mise-en-scene again reflects the twenties when you see his furniture and clothing. He was wearing a suit with a vest and eventually a brim hat as well which accurately captures the apparel worn in the twenties. Elliott Ness is introduced as a caring individual disgusted by the rising crime in Chicago. It is easily seen that he is not corrupt and wants to clean up the streets of Chicago. Malone was introduced on a bridge passing by and confronting Elliott for littering. The police uniform worn by Malone was old fashioned especially the hat he wore, he also carried a wooden baton like the police used to carry in the early nineteen-hundreds. A low angle shot is used when you see Ness on the bridge at first but then it merges into an equal level shot once Ness and Malone begin conversing. The use of rack focus is a good example of a moving camera shot. This can be seen when Ness is confronting Malone on the bridge after a comment Malone made about littering. The camera shot was moving with the two and was focusing on Malone when he was talking and then refocusing on Ness when he was talking. This was done to emphasize who was speaking and to draw more attention to a specific...
