What do these monster look like.
Many people have visited and try to spot Nessie, but only a lucky few have gotten the chance to see the monster in it’s natural habitat. Those who have describe it as a large prehistoric looking monster with a dragon like head. “Although there has never been a clear image, the description has usually been a huge body, often serpentine, with humps or undulations out of the water, which stretch for some considerable length, up to 30 feet. The head has been described as like that of a dragon, or a serpent's head over a long, sinuous neck.” (Rose, Carol) The Lake Champlain Monster has also been described as a similar monster, aloney more people have seen Nessie then Champ. “With a long periscope - like neck, a horse - like eared (or horned) head and maine, one or more humps along it’s back, dark skin and a fo! tal length of 4.6 - 15.3 meters (15 - 50 feet).” (Lake Champlain Monster). People have said the Lake Okanagan Monster or Ogopogo stands 3 - 4 feet wide and 25 - 30 feet tall, they also say it was a serpent like
monster. Sightings of these monsters. Many people have said they have seen the Loch Ness Monster, and taken pictures of this monster “In 1972 an expedition team from the Academy of Applied Sciences in Boston, went to Loch Ness.” (Mysteries and Fantasies). Many more people have visited the famous Lake Loch Ness trying to to get a glimpse of Nessie, or get a photo proving that it really does exist. A research team went out to find the monster in 1968, using a sonar machine that can locate things underwater by sound, and would take a picture of whatever was causing those noises. For a long time the scientist could not find anything in the mysterious lake, but one day the sonar suddenly began to show several very large objects moving about in the deep, dark, lake. As for the monster Champ there has been many sightings of him as well. “In the case of Champ, the ‘evidence’ is in the form of a colour photograph taken by Sandra Mansi on 5 July 1977 in the vicinity of St. Albans, Vermont.” (Lake Champlain Monster) This is one of the most popular tourist sights in Vermont, everyone is trying to be the one to find one of these mysterious Monsters of the deep. Ogopogo one of the less known, but still as important monsters of Canada this monster has had over 200 sightings, there is even 90 second clip capturing the monster in the lake. A swimmer even claimed to being attacked by this great beast while taking her daily laps. Even though it was never proven that she was attacked by Ogopogo there are still a great number of people who believe she was. Now who originally found these monsters. the only confirmed person to have first found one of these monsters is Samuel de Champlain, which now has the lake named after him for finding Champ. “Lake Champlain is named after Samuel de Champlain, a European explorer who actually claimed to have sighted some monster in it’s waters during July 1609.” (Lake Champlain Monster) This site states that Champlain actually saw the monster, when other sites stated that he only discovered the lake and never the actual monster. This is one of the many different speculations out there about lake monsters. Different conspiracies to the monsters. There was a rumor that a Nazi Submarine was found at the bottom of Lake Loch Ness, peoples conclusion to the submarine was that they were searching for the monster to help in the war against the U.S., the legend also says that the monster destroyed the submarine in their attempt to catch it. Another person claiming to see the monster was a doctor in the British army for was fired, because they thought he was crazy. “Legends tell of monsters called kelpies that live in many lochs, including Loch Ness. Kelpies are mischievous spirits that prey on unwary people, particularly children, who wander near the water’s edge.” (Meet Nessie) One of the more famous Lake Champlain rumors is that Samuel did not really discover the monster, that he only discovered the lake and the monster later was named after him. Real or not real, these monsters have impacted people’s lives almost everyone has heard of these monsters. These monsters bring out the mysterious side of us, and make us want to know more and discover what types of things are living in the waters that we do not even know about. We may never know if there really are monsters in the deep, dark sea, but we will know that there is always more to learn. We explored more about The Loch Ness Monster, Lake Champlain Monster, and The Lake Okanagan Monster, their qualities, and different stories of how they came to be known.
What is scaly, creepy, 50 feet long, and swims in the world's most notorious lake? If you said The Loch Ness Monster, then you’re correct!

The lake is the main symbol in “Greasy Lake” that symbolizes youth corruption. When the narrator enters the lake, he describes it as already being “ankle-deep in muck and tepid water and still going strong” (Boyle 5). The filthy description of the water is used to show the gloomy and corrupt waters in this lake. The lake also was “fetid and murky, the mud banks glittering with broken glass and strewn with beer cans and the charred remains of bonfires” (1). These descriptions revolving around the lake show that this lake was where people went to be “bad” people. Primitive acts were done here,
It all started in 1955 when a man who lived in the area of Loveland Ohio saw three humanoid frog-like creatures who seemed to be waving around wands that shot out bright, fiery, scolding sparks.It had webbed hands and feet, like a frog, toad, or duck.And was a couple fo feet tall, most say 3-4 feet.It had bumpy skin, and was a green chromaticity.

Mrs.Darwin Johnson, had said that she was attacked violently under water one night, in the Ohio River near Evansville, Indiana.She
Nature has a powerful way of portraying good vs. bad, which parallels to the same concept intertwined with human nature. In the story “Greasy Lake” by T. Coraghessan Boyle, the author portrays this through the use of a lake by demonstrating its significance and relationship to the characters. At one time, the Greasy Lake was something of beauty and cleanliness, but then came to be the exact opposite. Through his writing, Boyle demonstrates how the setting can be a direct reflection of the characters and the experiences they encounter.
The sandy shore of the dark, mysterious Loch Ness is surrounded by large rolling hills of green. The day is coming to an end, the sun is starting to slip behind the tall trees and in the fading light, and an enormous, slick body ascends from the murky water. A long neck is briefly visible through the mist; it slips back into the depths only seconds after it appeared. There is a major controversy on the identity of the beast lurking in the Loch Ness in Scotland. There are many hypotheses on the topic, all showing some type of research or picture evidence gathered by locals, scientists and tourists. Although a large amount of people believe that the Loch Ness monster is a reptilian plesiosaur or a variety of sea serpent, with scientific evidence it can be proven that the beast is actually a long- necked seal.
If someone had previous knowledge of a crime, are they just as guilty for not reporting that a crime was going to happen as the person(s) that actually perpetrated the crime? This question was a major point of discussion and the major driver of the plot in the book Monster by Walter Dean Myers. In this book, 16 year old Steve Harmon is being tried for felony murder for participating in a robbery perpetrated by James King, Bobo Evans, and Osvaldo Cruz that ended in the death a Alguinaldo Nesbitt. Although the jury found Harmon innocent in the end, the readers still learn that Steve knew that a robbery was going to happen. Also, scattered throughout the book were bits of evidence that alluded to Steve’s involvement in the robbery. Therefore,
In ?Greasy Lake,? water is a powerful entity. The lake works to reveal the true nature of the narrator and his friends. Water is in itself the most influential character of the story. It submerges the protagonist, both physically and metaphorically, in his own mentality. The lake serves as a great equalizer. It creates and resolves conflict, all to force the narrator to confront his weakness and reveal his strength.
Greasy Lake was once beautiful and clear until the actions of humanity changed it to something that was filled with chaos and destruction. The Native Americans used to call Greasy lake Wakan, which was a reference to its clear waters (Boyle 570). The narrator says that, “Now it was fetid and murky, the mud banks glittering with broken glass and strewn with beer cans and the charred remains of the bonfires” (Boyle 570). The lake acts a symbol because this was where the youth went to party and have the times of their lives. These characters went to Greasy Lake because to them, this was “nature” (Boyle 570). Moreover, the desolate lake could have been a representation of the people who went there in search of fun. The “bad” characters who visited Greasy Lake were associated with the transfiguration of the lake. This once beautiful lake was now a party site which, “…is associated with decay and destruction…”

The book opens on Anderson Lake, he stands in an open street market in Thailand inspecting the various fruits and vegetables for sale until he happens upon an entirely new fruit that he doesn’t recognize. This is important to few and far between, unless you are an economic hitman and a representative for the agribusiness giant, AgriGen. Anderson Lake owns a kink spring factory in Bangkok that is attempting to mass produce a completely new model of spring that will store an enormous amount of gigajoules of energy compared to the old model. The factory is a mere ruse for his true intentions for being in Thailand, which is discovering the location of the Thai seedbank so, AgriGen will have fresh DNA to manipulate. Anderson’s factory is nearly destroyed internally by a rampaging megodont (a genetically modified elephant used to run the power train of the factory). One of the many things destroyed includes algae baths, which are a crucial piece in the manufacturing process of the kink springs. The cost to replace this vital part is extremely high, and must be smuggled in on a dirigible. Anderson orders Hock Seng, a yellow card refugee from China that assists in running the company, to repare the factory as soon as possible, and in hopes of hurring him, threatens the loss of his job. Hock Seng’s job is made even more difficult by the fact that he has not bribed the customs officials because he has embezzled the bribe money given to him.

For the first known citing of one of these creatures, you would have to go back to November of 1861, when crew members of the French dispatch steamer Alecton spotted what appeared to be a large sea monster off the coast of the Canary Islands. The crew threw harpoons at the creature, but those would not stay in the flesh for long. When the crew got close enough to put a noose around the creature, the rope tightened and cut through the animal, causing most of it to sink to the bottom of the sea. The crew, however, managed to pull the tail of the creature on board, and bring it back to the French Consul. From there the tail and a report about the creature made its way to the French Academy of Sciences.
The Loch Ness monster is a cryptid – a creature whose existence has been suggested but is not recognized by scientific concepts (“Loch”). The creature is an animal or a group of animals and most records of the creature’s appearances including verifiable accounts indicating an animal taking after or resembling the long wiped out plesiosaur (“Loch”). Although many people have theories about Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster, almost all evidence shows that “Nessie” has been mistaken for various creatures that live in the Loch, a body of water in Scotland. Described by various authors “Nessie” is a supernatural creature capable of appearing and vanishing at its own will (Newton 91). Nessie appears as a large rounded object, an overturned boat with several protruding lumps in a line anywhere from ten to forty five feet long.

In 1852, a group of villagers charged with pitchforks to battle a ‘’sea serpent,’’ however when they got there it turned out to be a horse taking a bath ("Why the Loch Ness Monster Probably Doesn't Exist."). The Loch Ness monster is a mythical reptilian creature that is thought to live in the Loch Ness which is a lake in Scotland. People believe it is real because, there have been many odd things in the Loch such as loud splashing and animals disappearing and people claim to see a monster-like creature lurking inside the Loch. According to a story that was published in “The Inverness Courier” there were sightings of the monster until about a century ago. There are many reasons why this monster doesn’t exist. There is not photographic proof, as they have all been proven photoshopped hoaxes. Studies show people see what they want to see, therefore the sightings of mythical creatures. The Loch Ness monster does not exist inside the Loch Ness or
