Urban Legends

Urban Legends are a form of modern folklore consisting of stories thought to be factual by that circulation of them. The urban legend started long time ago in the 1979. This started in a book review appearing in journal of American folklore. Some urban legends that may be popular to you or that you may no about are candy man, bloody marry, and the hook. These people are the most popular urban legends.

The myths that is told about candy man that people are not for sure if it’s true or not. If you look into the mirror in your bathroom with the lights turned off and repeat candy man 5 times you will see a red glow shaped like a pair of eyes. When you see it you need to run to the brightest place in your house or where ever or else he will kill you. He got his name because, he fell in love and dozen of people gathered around him and tried to take his love away form him. These people cut off his right hand and poured loads of honey onto his body while the man had bees attacking him.

The next urban legend you know of is called bloody Mary. If you go into the bathroom and look into the mirror with the lights off and the room was dark and say bloody mirror I killed your daughter 13 times a women would appear and scratch your face. Bloody Mary was just a old lady that stayed in the woods but people would say she was a witch. She got her name because, little girls were disappearing and they felt that she killed them. One day she was walking into the forest and she was shot and burned by a man because, he was scared that she may take her child. She killed these young girls because; she just won’t her own child back.

The urban legend that is not that most known but is stilled an urban legend is called the hook. The hook is known as a man that stalks young lovers and kills people and tries to end their relationship. The hook don’t won’t to see anyone together because, he got his filling hurt by the love of his life, so he can’t see anyone together. The women choose not to be with him because, he was just to much for her or he was not the right person for her.

This all need to come to and end. People are getting scared for their lives even if they try it they are scared something will happen to them. Are these urban legends really true or are they just made up to scare you. When will the truth come out? For the most part people fill that they are true. What is the truth? Maybe one day we will find out about the different urban legends. Will you dare to find out the truth.

The Effect on Media analysis about the election

The media has been effected by young people and the elections by most young people getting out to vote. The new things that has brought most young people out for the election was the use of the technology that people see almost everyday on the internet. I fill that this is a good idea for example like facebook on faebook you seen the presidents on their and like things that people has made about them. The media has made a major increase on people especially young people. Most uolder people fill that young people don't do anything. They have proved them wrong about the election this year. tehy won't their vote to count also.

Media Violence

Media violence effects different people in different ways. The study of media violence has made me realize that many kids here today in this world is getting killed because of gang violence. I fill that the parents have been brought into this type of sitituation because, when a kid see something they won't like for examples games.It is the parent responsibility to make sure that it is an alright game that the children could play. If people see what the reactions is to the game they are going to try it. This may cause an affect on people and school, or even at home. When people see violence happening they become fear of it and don't know what to do. All the violence and media need to come to an end very fast.
