My Thoughts About Urban Legends...


My recent homework is about Mythological Creatures that i wanted to share it.

It is from "English in Mind 5 Second Edition"

Mythological creatures or stories are belief of some people. It is not sure that if it's true or not and might made up by people.


The bunyip, or kianpraty, is a large mythical creature from Aboriginal mythology, said to lurk in swampsbillabongscreeks,riverbeds, and waterholes. The origin of the word bunyip has been traced to the Wemba-Wemba or Wergaia language of Aboriginal people of South-Eastern Australia. However, the bunyip appears to have formed part of traditional Aboriginal beliefs and stories throughout Australia, although its name varied according to tribal nomenclature. In his 2001 book, writer Robert Holden identified at least nine regional variations for the creature known as the bunyip across Aboriginal Australia. Various written accounts of bunyips were made by Europeans in the early and mid-19th century, as settlement spread across the country. - Wikipedia

This is the one that i liked in the paragraph.

I think this mythological creatures are might not be true. I mean i think that there can be an animal excatly like this or look-a-like but i don't believe it is true. I believe that it is an animal and they made up a story to make people stay away from there or for fun. They might have made up this stories to make the country or city's history more interesting.
 Now, people believe what they wanna believe. Like if there is a creature or god or goddess etc. they like it because they have the personality or appearance they want for themselves. People are more intelligent then before so they don't believe like the people from past did. In the past, like really past (1900's , 1800's) there were less stories and every country and city has at least one. I believe that there might be creatures in these years because actually some TV series made me think about it. I mean it feels like more different in that years. think about it you never heard a story like that before and it makes you want to believe. But now people knows everything about it. When we heard it now we say "Same old, same old.".  There is no excitement now and that might be the reason why people don't believe it that much anymore.


Maybe they are right. Maybe humans are all the scary creauters.
