Writing and Discussion Questions (page 52)

1.        Have you ever heard an urban legend set in your own country?

 Of course, in our country Dominican Republic we can find many of them as The Baca, The ciguapa, The Woman of Las Americas and others. I already talked in this Blog about The Baca, which is a diabolical creature that people can summon to make deals.

2.        Have you ever heard ¨The Organ Thieves¨ or ¨The Vanishing Hitchhiker ¨stories?

 I hadn’t heard about The Vanishing Hitchhiker until this class, but I watched a movie that might be related to The Organ Thieves.

3.        How were the versions of the stories that you heard different from the ones in the reading?

 The Organ Thieves movie I watched and the one we read were different because in the movie there was just one thief and he used to stole organ for pleasure.
