Our favorite monster character

Three of our teams decided to do an assignment describing an interesting monster character, imaginary,historical or fictional! The goal was to put into practice the descriptive adjectives we learned two weeks ago in class. Can we use them in descriptions?  Let's see!

The Loch Ness Monster


The Loch Ness Monster is a legendary sea serpent which according to the legend lives in Loch Ness in northern Scotland. It is an object of study of cryptozoology. It is often found with the name Nesi (English Nessie). Reports on the existence of an unknown monster in Loch Ness date back to the 6th century but underwater surveys conducted in 2003, using sonar, failed to locate the legendary serpent.

Phoenix
by  Greek Students

The bird of Phoenix was honored in ancient Greece and was associated with the worship of the Sun and Apollo.
Apart from ancient Greece, the Phoenix was a very sacred symbol for other cultures: According to the Egyptians, it was named Ben (Bennu) and was at the top of the pyramid. Phoenix is ​​associated with O, the son of Osiris and Isis
 In the Jewish culture it is the only animal that does not eat from the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. According to this tradition then Eve gives all animals to eat and only he resists. So God honors the Phoenix (Hebrew Milcham) and makes him immortal.
In the beginning of ChristianismPhoenix represents Jesus Christ, who also dies and resurrects three days like the phoenix was reborn in three days. The symbolism may be evident at many temples in Greece.

It has got big teeth, a small mouth, a big eyebrow and a long face. It is one-eyed, beautiful, disgusting and wicked. It wears boggy boots. If we catch it, it will fill us with bacteria.
