Halloween is at the end of this month and with homecoming just around the corner. I would like to include the pros and cons of having a fall dance versus a Halloween dance. I will give some information on how Halloween started, how, when and where it changed, and how people celebrate it now. I will also say how fall is celebrated in other countries. Halloween and fall have different events and styles for different cultures. This may help one out if they are trying to pick between a Halloween dance and fall dance.

We must protest and stop this growing sadism in our homes, schools, and on our streets” (Carter). Halloween is celebrated as an eve of All Saints’ Day or a day to make humor to face the power of death. Most parents are concerned that Halloween is sensitizing children by its glorification of violence, death, mutilation, and gore. Something else to consider is the number of accidents that happen on Halloween. A U.S. government data showed that, on Halloween, over 115 pedestrians that are under 18 years of age were killed between 1990 and 2010 (Painter).
Keeping in mind of a fall dance there are some children who have allergies and cannot be around certain things related to fall, like hay and there are certain things in corn mazes that kids cannot be around. Because of the fact of children having allergies one should not keep anyone out of certain events. Make sure that if any child has an allergic reaction to anything someone knows what to do in that situation, like how to use an epinephrine also known as EpiPen. Approximately 50 million people in the U.S. have allergies and most of which are outside allergies (Allergies and Hay
