Urban Legends
An urban legend is a story that is told forms a person who says they know of someone who, actually went through this tale.


Leprechauns: This urban legend is about a very short leprechaun who kills for gold, the gold doesn’t even have to be the leprechauns gold. Another fact is that people say that if you go to the end of the rainbow, you get or could find some gold. Lastly they all have and wear green, and they originate form Scotland he’s Irish.

Clowns: This urban legend is about clowns that suppose to be good and making people laugh. To clowns that kill people just for no reason. 3 Facts about clowns would have to be, they all have a wear red wigs, their teeth are bloody and sharp, and they kill any and everyone. The clowns in the movies are always targeting little kids; they eat them through water drains and in showers. Lastly the clowns of today make clowns look bad because they just kill and excitement of any little kid wanting to have a clown at there parties.


Peanut Butter: Peanut Butter is a very common urban legend on the Maury Povich show, on this show they showed some urban legends I didn’t even know about. Peanut Butter however caught my eye as a very hard legend to believe, some facts about this legend is that people can’t stand when the peanut butter is stuck up at the top of their mouth. Secondly is they are scared of the smell of the peanut butter, they actually said that the peanut butter smelled pretty scary? Lastly they are scared of the actual form of the peanut butter one woman said when she heard…? Her sons take it out of the jar she felt like she had a heart attack.

Life lessons

Hi my name is Mercedesz and i'm enrolled in a Media Analysis class, this class has taught me alot and i really enjoy it. In this class we cover various topics that will teach us individualy in life and lesson for the class. Some topics that we discuss are very shocking to me just to think that a girl or boy can die from using myspace, to me that site should be for friends or members of family trying to find each other.Secondly i've learned how the media protrays woman especially woman with curves. To me this is a problem that i belive should change which may be hard, considering the media has these images installed in everyone. For ex. video games are not equal because it seems to me that video games only include african american woman, in the ghetto roles which to me are pathetic! However i can say i am a good example of media persuasion to a limt, i have to admit i love playing grand theft auto. For some reason that game is my favorite along with other video games that people may say are VIOLENT!! Everyone in life knows that we all are different and have different beliefs, but one thing i can say i have learned from media analysis is that the media can advertise but we still have an option to buy or not to buy!!
