CHAPTER 7 More on Monster Tourism In the Willow Creek, California Bigfoot tourism has allowed this small mining town to grow. Willow Creek celebrates Bigfoot with a festival called “Bigfoot Days,” which features music, food, and Bigfoot memorabilia. There is also a Bigfoot museum. People even come from Europe to celebrate Bigfoot in this little town. People can also join Bigfoot expeditions. Businesses offer tourists the opportunity to join outdoor adventure trips to try and find Bigfoot. No one has yet found Bigfoot, but people have a lot of fun, make money, and wonder whether or not Bigfoot might really exist, even in spite of the commercial hullabaloo. For an example of how Bigfoot and commercial interests overlap in tourism, see a video of the 50th annual Bigfoot parade in Willow Creek. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKwHX59ISlk Lake monsters also are used for tourism. Towns and villages who have a local lake monster use the lake monster to attract tourists. There are small festivals celebrating the lake monster, conferences, and other activities all of which are designed to celebrate the unique identity of the place the lake monster lives. There are also many examples of people constructing lake monsters from wood, plastic, and other materials and putting it in the lake in order to fool people. People will also hunt lake monsters for fun, although they never actually find anything. The news video below talks about a sighting of “Champ,” a lake monster that supposedly lives in Lake Champlain. What kind of commercial objects do you see for sale at the beginning of the video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpkULq7ZV3A CHAPTER 8 An excerpt from “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allen Poe The description of the haunted house below is taken from a famous short story called “The Fall of the House of Usher.” It was first published in 1839 by Edgar Allen Poe, one of the most well known American authors of terror. Shaking off from my spirit what must have been a dream, I scanned more narrowly the real aspect of the building. Its principal feature seemed to be that of an excessive antiquity. The discoloration of ages had been great. Minute fungi overspread the whole exterior, hanging in a fine tangled web-work from the eaves. Yet all this was apart from any extraordinary dilapidation. No portion of the masonry had fallen; and there appeared to be a wild inconsistency between its still perfect adaptation of parts, and the crumbling condition of the individual stones. In this there was much that reminded me of the specious totality of old wood-work which has rotted for long years in some neglected vault, with no disturbance from the breath of the external air. Beyond this indication of extensive decay, however, the fabric gave little token of instability. Perhaps the eye of a scrutinizing observer might have discovered a barely perceptible fissure, which, extending from the roof of the building in front, made its way down the wall in a zigzag direction, until it became lost in the sullen waters of the tarn. (Poe, “Fall of the House of Usher”) CHAPTER 9 More Jump Rope Rhymes MISS MARY MACK (JUMP ROPE RHYME) Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack All dressed in black, black, black With silver buttons, buttons, buttons All down her back, back, back She asked her mother, mother, mother For fifty cents, cents, cents To see the elephants, elephants, elephants Jump over the fence, fence, fence They climbed so high, high, high They touched the sky, sky, sky And didn’t come down, down, down Until the 4th of July, ly, ly! UNTITLED (HAND CLAP RHYME) My mother gave me a nickel My father gave me a dime My sister gave me a lover boy Who loved me all the time My mother took her nickel My father took his dime My sister took her lover boy And gave me Frankenstein He made me do the dishes He made me mop the floor I got so sick and tired of him I kicked him out the door! CHAPTER 10 Jack-o’-Lanterns and other Decorations How do Americans decorate their homes for Halloween? The most important symbol of Halloween is a jack-o’-lantern. A jack-o’lantern is a pumpkin that has been hollowed out and decorated to look like a face. The face sometimes is associated with a spirit, demon, or ghost. People scoop out the insides and carve a face into the outside of the pumpkin. The face can be simple or very elaborate, and it can be scary, happy, sad, or funny. Some people are very creative with their jack-o’-lanterns and turn them into works of art. A lighted candle is placed inside. At night, the pumpkin can look either scary or friendly, depending on the face that is carved. The lighted jack-o’-lantern typically is placed on the doorstep outside the home on Halloween night. It attracts the children who are out trick-or-treating and lets them know there are treats available at the house. People also decorate their homes skeletons and ghosts, which are considered spooky, or sometimes people decorate with evil characters. They also use fall harvest vegetables, such as pumpkins, corn, hay, dried corn stalks, and sometimes scarecrows. Scarecrows are large dolls stuffed with hay. They look like farmers. In farming areas, people put them in the fields to frighten away birds and prevent them from eating the corn. Halloween is associated with the fall harvest, so harvest images such as fall vegetables are common. The harvest images combine with images of the dead, such as skeletons and ghosts, to create a holiday that is symbolizes alternations between life and death. CHAPTER 11 Mardi Gras and Parody As noted in the reading, political figures are commonly parodied in Mardi Gras costumes and floats. Donald Trump, who became President of the United States in 2017, was a popular target for Mardi Gras parody during that period of time. In this example, a man wears a mask that looks like Donald Trump. The reveler is also wearing a jester’s costume, which is a kind of clown. His costume makes fun of Donald Trump by suggesting that Donald Trump is a clown. This type of behavior is expected during Mardi Gras but less common during other times of the year. Traditional Mardi Gras Food KING’S CAKE Mardi Gras celebrations begin on January 06 when people eat a king’s cake. A king’s cake is a cake made of brioche dough, a French dough that contains a lot of butter and eggs. The cake is flavored with cinnamon and has green, gold, and purple icing, which are Mardi Gras colors. The cake contains a small, plastic baby, or “king,” inside it. The person who receives the piece of cake with the baby must buy the cake the next year or host the party. That is the beginning of the Carnival or Mardi Gras season. Below is a picture of a king’s cake. |

It is titled Afro-American Work Songs in a Texas Prison. It was filmed in 1966 by Pete and Toshi Seeger. http://www.folkstreams.net/film,122 This video clip contains scenes from a 1987 film called “Full Metal Jacket.” It contains many different examples of military calls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEiWXz3BkpA This link is not from a film, but from a real training session and illustrates the call-and-response style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8-XkPJXhCw CHAPTER5 The full lyrics to “John Henry” here as sung by Harry Belafonte, a well- known calypso singer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9GkWdDE5E8 Many artists have covered the Ballad of Jesse James. Links to the song as covered by various artists are below. This one is by a famous country singer named Johnny Cash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcBkQiuK97Q This one is by a famous folk singer named Woody Guthrie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia2YTbO1M6k This one is by the Irish folk/punk band, the Pogues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7hsGtgdrGc A new ballad form has drawn recent scholarly attention. These ballads sing about the drugs that are smuggled across the border between Mexico and the United States, in what has become known as the “drug war.” The links below are radio segments and will be useful to learn more about these controversial Spanish-language ballads. http://www.npr.org/2009/10/10/113664067/narcocorridos-ballads-of-the-mexican-cartels http://www.npr.org/sections/altlatino/2015/07/16/423198482/narco-ballads-praising-el-chapo-or-portraying-the-corrupt-truth http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1133414 CHAPTER6 This video clip illustrates the song “Take Me out to the Ballgame” that is commonly sung at baseball games.

A flash mob is a group of people who plan a surprise public performance together, such as singing or dancing. Instead of going from house to house in traditional caroling fashion, which is not so common in modern times, the flash mob surprises shoppers with seemingly spontaneous singing of Christmas carols at a mall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GE6eE89sN0 CHAPTER7 For an example of how Bigfoot and commercial interests overlap in tourism, see a video of the 50th annual Bigfoot parade in Willow Creek. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKwHX59ISlk. This news video talks about a sighting of “Champ,” a lake monster that supposedly lives in Lake Champlain. What kind of commercial objects do you see for sale at the beginning of the video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpkULq7ZV3A This link was made by the producers of “Finding Bigfoot,” a TV show that focuses on exploring whether or not Bigfoot is real. The show is both serious and ironic. The clip is a good example of how Americans “play” with their monsters. Watch as the producers of this television show have some fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVZeLN8XYd8 CHAPTER8 CHAPTER9 This link illustrates an example of children doing “Miss Mary Mack Mack Mack” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9NoUQcEfzE This example illustrates how children incorporate commercials into their play. “Dr Pepper” is a popular soft drink in the US. Children have creatively transformed Dr. Pepper television commercials into handclap games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Swe99oRW4wY&list=PLL84ngkeWgDiC5zh4TuSpNTzy7oyc2M-R&index=12 Here is another handclap that also transforms a popular television commercial into a handclap game. The movements are similar to the example above, but use “McDonalds” fast food as the theme. https://www.youtube.com/watchv=MLNpgWmx1PM&index=13&list=PLL84ngkeWgDiC5zh4TuSpNTzy7oyc2M-R CHAPTER10 This video shows children trick-or-treating in the traditional manner on Halloween. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skeB61hKh6I This video shows the Greenwich Village Halloween parade in New York City in 2016.

Demotion derbies are good example of how county fairs continue to serve as sources of entertainment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0A3qYwd58Y This video is from a small rodeo in Florida. It shows the bucking bronco event. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHDRb3QSQdE This video clip also shows the bucking bronco event. Participants are in high school and still learning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6-472L9_1U In this clip, the national anthem is sung and a girl carries the flag on horseback to open the rodeo. It illustrates that rodeos are associated with patriotic sentiment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD3V6HJF6C0 CHAPTER13 The best websites to explore the latest memes are https://memegenerator.net and http://knowyourmeme.com CHAPTER14 This is a video clip of a news story made during the 2016 creepy clown scare.
