This is a essay about unicorns. this includes 3 in text citations and is great to use if you get to pick the topic you are writing on.
Imagine yourself sitting in a field having a picnic, then, all of a sudden a big white horse comes up to you, but, then you notice the big horn coming out of its head and you know it is a Unicorn. Many people believe in suck a thing as a Unicorn, in my report I am going to tell you about these people, and the people that don't believe too. I, personally don't believe in such a thing as a Unicorn but, I don't discredit those people that do.

The history of the horned animal known as the Unicorn is a very interesting one. In a fold take toled by the Urikanes they explain one theory of why there is no more Unicorns today. "Swipnet.se",

"All of the beasts obeyed Noah when he admitted them into the Ark. All but the Unicorn. Confident of his strength he boasted 'I shall swim!' For fourghty days and fourghty nights the rains poured down and the oceans boiled as in a pot and all the heights were flooded. The birds of the air clung onto the Ark and when the Ark pitched they were all engulfed. But the unicorn kept on swimming. When, however the birds emerged again they perched on his horn he went under. And that's why there are no more Unicorns now!"

Other that the Urikanes many people have searched for roof of the unicorns existence. Records that date back to the courts of Darious II, and even Aristotle wrote a little about the unicorn. The Chinese name for the unicorn was Ki-lin, to them, the Unicorn was a symbol of wisdom.

In the past Unicorns have appeared in many different writings, in the Ancient Greeks, the Chinese, and today. According to all of these legends the Unicorn has many different physical and personal traits. There were many different stories that gave the Unicorn a wide range of size, color, and type of hooves. But throughout all of these stories some things reigned true. In almost all of the stories the unicorn has always been pure white in color, with a long twisted horn in the middle of its forehead.

It has been said that the horn of the Unicorn

    One reason the unicorns should not send the red banded unicorns away is because they could become friends. The red bended unicorns might just need some friends to help fix them up. They might just be lonely that may be why they are causing a lot of trouble around the Non-Existent forest of Oblivia. So the other unicorns should just try to become friends and be nice to the red banded unicorns.…

    Almost every religion in the world has a story about the “Great Flood” which destroys the earth, and each teaches its followers a different story about this disaster. While the Babylonians have the story of Utnapishtim from the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Judeo Christians have Noah from the Bible. Both men save a few people and many animals. In these stories, Noah and Utnapishtim seem to have similar situations, but a further analysis shows how truly different the two stories are.…

    Noahs Ark and Gilgamesh

    • 336 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The Epic of Gilgamesh Flood Story and the Noah’s Ark story from the Bible are similar in many ways. They are similar in the sense that they both got rid of their houses and all of their belongings. Noah received his message from God to start building the boat while Gilgamesh received his message in a dream. But in the story of Noah’s Ark, Noah was to build the boat to exact measurements which were 300 cubits for its length, 50 cubits for its width, and 30 cubits for its height. Where in the Epic of the Gilgamesh it was to be built “shall have her dimensions in proportion, Her width and length in harmony.” The story never tells how big the boat was for all living seeds. So as a reader we can picture Noah’s massive boat where we cannot do the same for Gilgamesh’s boat They were both were to build enormous boats that would be able to hold all forms of life. In the Epic of Gilgamesh Flood Story, Gilgamesh fills his boat with all forms of life along with silver and gold. Whereas Noah built the boat only to fit all animals and his family. The Epic of Gilgamesh fought through only six days and seven nights where Noah fought through forty days and forty nights. But we do know the Bible uses the number 40 as a way of saying a long period of time. Both Gilgamesh and Noah released a Raven and a Dove but Noah released 3 doves while Gilgamesh only released a swallow after the release of other two birds. The Gilgamesh Epic has close parallels with the account of Noah’s Flood. Its close similarities are due to its closeness to the real event. However, there are major differences as well. Everything in the Epic, from the polytheism to the absurd cubical ark, as well as the worldwide flood legends, show me that the Genesis account is the original, while the Gilgamesh Epic is a distortion.…

At this point Versace didn’t know how she felt, she was overwhelmed and disappointed at the same time. “ I Know that this is confusing but these are in fact unicorns, they’re just babies right now !, they haven’t grown their horns or their tails yet” says the woman from the distance ( by the way her name is Kerri) “ oh I understand now, but why do you only have babies” says versace. “ All of the adults we have are being experimented on, working on something called a rainbow, they say when a unicorn dies it is summoned up to the sky, and will fart one last time causing a rainbow and it’ll rain and the sun will come out ! “ interesting, has it happened yet” says versace “ No, but one of the greatest scientists in the world has been here; Andreaya and says it could happen in minutes !” “ Everyone Look “ says Andreaya. “ A rainbow !” and that’s the day rainbows became the way they are…

    Genesis 6:7-8 reads, “7 So the Lord said, ‘I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.’ 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord” (The Holy Bible). This scripture introduces the well-known story of Noah’s Ark. God sent forty days and forty nights of non-stop rain to wipe out the sin-ridden humans and purify the Earth. One male and one female from every animal species and the family of Noah would be spared in order to repopulate the Earth. There has been much debate over the existence of such an event even though versions have been recorded in many cultures and languages. Some say that the bible’s…

    Additionally, South goes on to discuss the unicorn’s role in the Garden of Eden, describing how the unicorn and its mate refused to enter the ark. “Some accounts say that the unicorn drowned in the Flood, but others say that he survived by swimming until the waters went down” (South 1987:18). South’s tale is unique because it acts as a reasonable explanation for many people as to why unicorns are not present in the world anymore: they were wiped out by the flood. The religious symbolism of the unicorn did not only impact works of literature. “Late medieval and Renaissance pictures of a virgin holding a slain unicorn on her lap resemble those of pieta- depictions of Mary holding the dead Christ” (Sax 2013:9). Given this information, it is evident…

    Dragons are real. Dragons are known to be “mythical” flying beast but, there not mythical at all. Dragons “tales/stories” are found all over the world, all saying pretty much the same thing, fire breathing, giant, flying beast. As much as I’d like for you just to believe the stories, I know that won’t happen. There is proof that Dragons are real as well as stories. Scientist/Paleontologist found an actual dragon corpse, and if you don’t believe that, they also figured out how a dragon does what dragons do (breath fire, fly, and strike terror into people). They figured out how they survived the extinction of the dinosaurs and so many other thing that *prove* dragons are real. Sit back and enjoy learning about how real and great dragons were/are.…

    Most Americans could say that they have at least heard of Cinderella and her fairy godmother. In the German Version of Cinderella, “Aschenputtel,” there is no Fairy godmother. In “Aschenputtel,” Cinderella’s mother tells her “Dear child, remain pious and good, and then our dear God will always protect you, and I will look down on you from heaven and be near you." Later in the story Cinderella asks her father to bring home the first twig that brushes his hat. When given the twig Cinderella takes it to her mother’s grave and it grows into a magnificent tree. Cinderella then prays under the tree and pigeons and turtledoves bring Cinderella anything she wishes. These birds represent Cinderella’s mother’s spirit watching over her poor daughter. Animals, such as birds and mice, also appear in the Disney classic, but are more aides then guardians to Cinderella. These animals are introduced as humorous instead of saviors in the Disney version. The animals help her clean the house and do chores. Later on they also are transformed into steeds and drivers to take Cinderella to the ball. These differences give each story its lighter and darker feelings and dynamics affecting the readers’ emotions towards the animals and Cinderella.…

    Mythology In Society

    Mythology is very entertaining to some people, so it will never die. If a story was not entertaining, then it probably did not last. Like when you think about the stories of Zeus, they were all very entertaining because he was an incredible god who could harness the power of lightning. To many people that is very intriguing for them. Another great example is the mighty Minotaur. The story of the Minotaur kind of sounds like a horror movie today. A half man- half bull combination is pretty scary, and it got people’s attention very easily. It is the same today with horror movies, many horror movies have some sort of monster that is meant to scare the audience, but it also makes the audience want more. The thing about these myths is that they are meant to be real, and we experience new mythology all the time. A big myth that is part of modern day society is bigfoot. Some people think that bigfoot is not real and they think people that think bigfoot is real are crazy. It was the same back then, when some people were viewed as crazy for believing it. I actually know many people who believe bigfoot is real because of what happened at my friend's lake house in Michigan outside of Dowagiac. Apparently some of the people who live there have seen bigfoot and all have stories about how they have seen it. Apparently a bunch of news stations showed up after a big sighting and the place went into a frenzy. This is how myths start. This…
