Curse of the Billy Goat

It existed 108 years ago when the Chicago Cubs last won the World Series (Cooper).

The Real Story Of The Three Billy Goats Gruff “Sous, Sous” My finger was rubbing my finger against the hard rocky ground because no one would hug me. But off in the distance I could see the three billy goats gruff heading up the grassy and muddy mountain. Their hooves clicking agencies the hard grassy and rocky ground. I hear the pond on the other side of my bridge. I can also smell the fruit that they just ate. I hear the wind brushing against my face. Of…

The Billy Goat Curse How do you think the Billy Goat Curse started and what do you think happened during that timeframe? At first I thought the Billy Goat Curse was just a myth, but it’s actually true. The Billy Goat Cure really made Chicago Cubs fans very mad because they have not won a World Series until this year. Also the last time the Chicago Cubs won the World Series was all the way back in 1908 which is more than a century ago. Even though I do not like the Chicago Cubs, I still think the…

The Cubs curse After 108 years the Cubs have won the World Series. The curse was put on the Cubs 108 years ago but recently broken.

Williams goat couldn't go in because of its stench, but the goat even had its own ticket. When William was told he couldn't go in he said that…

Sandberg. He played from 1982-1997. “Ryno” played second base for the Cubs and the Philadelphia Phillies. One of the best pitchers to ever pitch for Chicago Cubs was Greg Maddux. He pitched for the Cubs from 1986-1992 then came back and pitched from 2004-2006. He pitched for the Cubs, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers, and the San Diego Padres. Cap Anson coached the Chicago Cubs from 1876-1897. He played baseball, but will go down in history for coaching. Even though he didn’t win any World…

So, I had said to her, “So let me get this straight. She (Abellona) sells her soul to the Devil, and he makes her a witch. Then, she curses the village, which she really can't do until after she's dead. She then dies when she gets thrown into the river here. The villagers then take her body and bury her up in these woods high atop Mt. Harrison somewhere. The Devil keeps up his end of the bargain granting her soul powers and the ability to stay in this realm. And now, for the last almost three…

“ “The Cubs win 1908 World Series!” “Team poised For a Century-Long Dynasty After Second Consecutive World Title.” The headlines read on the morning of Thursday, October 15, 1908.

depose their leader, they burn a piece of paper until it’s charred with a black spot and then hand it to their captain, usually giving them a period of time until their authority is no longer good. This happens to both Billy Bones and Long John Silver over the course of the novel. The similarities between my two myths is that they both tried killing sailors and the differences were that Davy Jones Locker didnt’t send them to heaven and Black Spot was a curse. Sailors didn’t want to die in sea…
