PROJECT WORK- Articles Critique- Blair Witch.

First of all, I issued in my own page an article about the blair witch myth. this is about a northamerica myth, exactly a myth from Maryland. And this myth says that "in 1785, a woman accused of witchcraft is banish from the village of blair, Maryland, and a year later, her accusers and half of Blair's children vanish.The town of Burkittsville is established at the site of the abandoned village about forty years later, and over the next one hundred and fifthy years a series of child murders and mutilations takes place. in 1994, three students decide to travel to Burkittsville to film interviews with local about the Blair witch legend as a class project, and a couple of days later they disappear in nearby woods. No trace of them is found until the footage they shot is discovered under an cold cabin a year later"1. Furthermore, this is the film that everybody saw in the cinema. Despite this is scary, this is a fake, because some scientists discovered that the murders was because of an hermit that killed seven children around 1940-1941 but the newspaper hide this because want that the myth of the Blair witch won't disappear. Moreover, the journalists did the same with the three students that supposedly were lost in the woods, and died. The film only was created by a director to take the attraction from the people and sell it. So, Blair witch project is only a lie.

To conclude, here we can see how the myths are created to take human beings minds trapped in an entertaining game and that is why people doesn't like to belie some tales and try to persevere the myths. In summary, this show to us a part of the north america culture that believe a lot in paranormal things.
