Extra Credit:
My assignment is to write blog that is based on the historical origin of Friday the 13th. (3 paragraphs).
Friday the 13th is unclear and the origin of fears surrounding it. A edvince of Friday the 13th was found in 19th century. It is a myth that if 13 people dine together, one will die within a year. It comes from the Last Supper when Jesus dined with 12 apostles, and Norse myth, where 11 friends of the god ohin dine together only to have the 12 person crashed by the 13th person. The number 13 has been considered cursed. The number 12 is number of completeness. There are 12 months of the year, 12 gods of Olympus,12 hours of the clock, 12 tribes of isreal,12 Jesus, 12 descendants of Muhammad imams, have many incidences of the pattern.
In 1881, The thirteen club, amputated to improve the number 13's reputation. The 13 members walked under ladders and spilled salt to dissuade any negative things with the 13. It unfortunately didn't work. Thirteen has be so disliked that 13th is not used for many things. One way that people believe Friday the 13th is unlucky because Jesus was cursed on Friday according to Christian scripture. The number 13 is also unlucky day to start a new project or to have major life change or take a trip.
Henry Sutherland Edwards 1869 biography of Goachino Rissini, was the first recorded reference of Friday the 13th. In a novel a stock broker takes advance of the myth to create a Wall street on Friday the 13th. The Wall street has created a fear for decades. It was a fear because it dropped. From that day it was called Friday the 13th mini crash.
