'Bloody Sunday', as it became known, has produced many different
interpretations of events. Since January 1972 people have recorded
diverse versions of events depending on where they were or which
faction of society they belonged to.
The sources used for the purpose of this essay are all from the media.
The first two are from news paper reports written 27 years after the
event following new revelations made during the partial disclosure of
evidence submitted to the inquiry lead by Lord Saville, commissioned
by Tony Blair. Source (c) is taken from an ITN news report relating to
the same inquiry some 14 months later (than the other sources) in
November 2000.
Source (a) is an extract from the 'Daily Mail', written by the deputy
Political Editor. This newspaper is by tradition a conservative
newspaper, so it portrays some more right wing ideas in its stories,
and it has been known to support controversial issues like capital
punishment. The paper is aimed the more middle class people. In this
Northern Ireland case 'The Daily Mail' is Pro-Ulster, so this means
that although being a news paper it should be neutral, that it does
support the Protestants. The IRA is viewed as a terrorist
organisation, and is not seen them as a freedom fighting organisation.
The Saville Inquiry was commissioned by a Labour government who were
initiating peace talks with the radical Irish group Sinn Fein, the
daily mail would therefore analyse these events from a conservative
view point. There are some things that make the source a bit unfair,
the news papers have their own interpretations of the events, but in
their interviews they have another interpretation of the events that
happened. So it is two d...

that are said like that might not always add up to make sense with an
event that happens shortly after it is said.
This source is another example of an interpretation of the events of
bloody Sunday, but again this is just one of the many interpretations.
In conclusion there was a lot of people at the event who have
experienced different things, these have then been passed on to other
people and may be been changed. From this there is not any way that
the correct truth will come out. There are only three sources of so
many, the sources I have, were not at the time of Bloody Sunday, and
they were all almost 30 years after. Different stories come out for
different reasons, for example the paras would say that they were
fired upon so they returned fire, and other people will say that the
army had planned to do this all the time.
The Importance of the Tumult of Amboise in Bringing About Conflict Between Catholics and Protestants by 1562
The story of “Bloody Mary” was told to me by a twenty year old male. He is a current student at a University, studying accountancy. He has very conservative beliefs regarding politics. His father is an insurance broker and his mother stays at home. This story was collected on March 18, 2006, at his residence. This is the story as he told it to me:
In the Bogside area of Derry, there was a tragic incident known as Bloody Sunday or the Bogside Massacre for sometimes. Twenty-eight unarmed civilians were shot down by equipped British soldiers when protesting internment without trial introduced to deal with the escalating level of violence peacefully.(Gillespie). As a reaction to the tragedy, Bano in an Irish band called U2 wrote a protest song called Sunday Bloody Sunday, in which he asked for the peaceful future without conflicts. Repeating “how long must we sing this song?” among the whole lyric, this protest song Bano wrote utilized a peaceful way to depict the scenes of Bloody Sunday, the loathing for the horrible massacre, and their beautiful expects for the future filling with hopes.
beg the question of whether they are interpreting it correctly, or whether they are simply
Words hold great power and when used correctly can influence what people believe and how they act.
On the edge of North Beach, across the street from where the myriad of little shops in the wharf which sell Alcatraz t-shirts and miniature Cable Cars begin, two human outlines made of white paint adorn the ground in front of a union hall. These are passed by hundreds of tourists daily, as well as many residents, yet few stop to ponder the curious shapes or the crude text painted in red: “SHOT BY POLICE JULY 5, 1934.” Though this spot does not mark where the original incident occurred, for the men died in front of the original Longshoremen’s Hall on the corner of Mission and Steuart streets, when the new hall opened here on the edge of North Beach these outlines were placed to remember the event. That event, “Bloody Thursday,” became the climax of the waterfront strike in 1934 and a turning point for Employer and Union relations in San Francisco—and the rest of the nation.
Often, the story of “Bloody Mary” is the first story of supernatural form that is told to many individuals as young children. When I was in 3rd grade, a group of friends and I got together to have a sleepover; naturally, we all went to my friend’s basement and started telling scary stories. One of my friends told me that if I went into the bathroom without any lights and said “Bloody Mary” three times in front of a mirror, a bloody figure would appear.

Another day and another boxset from Arrow Video. The more they crank out, the more I get to bask in the glory of kickass boxsets. One of the more recent boxsets to come out is Blood Bath. This one is a bit different than the others, as it really is one movie split up into 4 different films. There is a lot of history behind how this happened and the special features go into great detail. As for this review, I will break down each film and what's in the box (come on, you know you read that in Brad Pitts voice) and tell you whether or not you should seek this one out. With that being said, let's get this review show on the road...

Bloody Mary Legend has it that if you stand in front of a candlelit mirror and chant the words Bloody Mary thirteen times, a vengeful spirit will appear. However, there are also many other variations to this urban legend. There is no definitive answer as to Bloody Mary’s identity, but Mary could often be depicted as a witch, ghost or demon (Houston). Some accounts say that a young woman named Mary was supposedly in a terrible accident, which mutilated her face (Norder). There are other variations to the legend that claim she was a witch that was executed over a hundred years ago for practicing the dark arts (Mikkelson).

A clever choice of words can make things seem different than they are. For instance, during the Vietnam War, the Defense Department of the United States. States used many misleading phrases in news reports. Instead of "forced" transfer of civilians" they said "relocation", and instead of "lies" they said "elements in the credibility gap." Cirino 18:
Expressions such as these can cause miscommunications, misunderstandings, and basically just a lot of confusion.
