1) My broker and I would engage in badinage, before we took on the serious proposition of adjusting my billion-dollar portfolio to maximize the accruing of assets. 2) The kangaroo court gathered around the hollow tree stump that held the accused prior to adjudicating the proceedings. 3) As the years passed, our local neighborhood became increasingly congruent with the addition of the government housing.…
Children dress up in costumes, differing from scary to character costumes. Then, they walk around the neighborhood, knocking on peoples doors, asking for candy until it gets too dark to see anything. Therefore, Dia de los Muertos and Halloween are more different than similar because they are celebrated for two different reasons and in two different…
With Halloween taking place just about a month ago and me being a first-year college student, I found it suitable to choose a topic that related to both college and the holiday that so many of America’s youth actively participate in these days. So, I began my research; through countless amounts of Google searches and digging through all sorts of news websites, I finally found an interesting article from The New York Times. The title was “Why Halloween at College Is So Frightening” and was written by a man named Mark Bauerlein who teaches at Emory University. The periodical starts off by explaining the scary effects that Halloween can induce on the students and administration across many of today’s college campuses. This is particularly because…
And then that repeats itself, so it almost seems like there must be some rules that govern that behavior. As my adventure drew to a close, I thought, how appropriate that it should end on Halloween? After all, this is the day when people like to suspend their beliefs in the physical laws that govern our world. Spirits awaken from the dead.…
Halloween, an American tradition where young children can go ‘trick or treating’ around their neighbourhood, however, this has risen the debate of whether this celebration is a safe or a suitable one to be part of. An opinion piece was published on Mamamia on the 29th of October, 2015, titled ‘Why my kids won’t be doing Halloween’, written by Alissa Warren, implies that Halloween is a ridiculous and an inappropriate event to be participated by anyone. In a disconcerting and exasperated tone, Warren targets readers of Mamamia and parents, of this whole issue of the pointless festivity. The article was also accompanied by a visual image that displays some kids in costume, trick or treating, with no one around and followed by a comment, written…
With it being Halloween it's time for spooks, fun, and candy, but this year is going to be different for the Walshes because this year the parents aren't going trick or treating with their kids. “But I am responsible for them I am 12 now and I can do a good job of leading,”Exclaimed Kathy. “You said that last year and the year before that and it's the same argument you've grown,”said her father,” Not to mention your younger brother Kevin who is also responsible in some cases.”…
When we went trick or treating at the mall, people looked at us as if we we weird and confused. They had either stared at us or looked confused. These reactions happened because we went against the social norm of trick or treating on Halloween. Instead of trick or treating on Halloween, we trick or treated six months after Halloween. This is really abnormal because Halloween has long past.…
When people think of Halloween, some view as a holiday of fun. Its purpose in the United States is viewed as a holiday for children and adults alike, since children get free candy from trick or treating, while adults go out partying while dressed in costumes. However, Halloween’s actual purpose was more of a holiday or festival in the Celtic religion called Samhain, the holiday was to mark the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. As time passed, Halloween went from festivals for the harvest season to a holiday for kids and adults here in the States.…
Should school start school later, yes because young adults need more sleep. Waking up early causes lack of sleep and can mess up a person’s health said by Later School Mornings. It shows that adolescents who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to be overweight, not engage in daily physical activity, and possibly perform poorly in school. Out of my class only 3/15 people agree that school should start later than normal. They think that it should start and end earlier.…
Students and parents across the world have different opinions about what the appropriate time for the school day to start is.

Like every other issue, people find something wrong with the problem and the plan to solve it.…

I do not celebrate Halloween but I now know more about its history and could be able to explain about it if…
Argumentative writing Imagine a middle school with teens having fun, doing good in class, and getting good grades. They are physically fit and healthy and they make good choices in what they do and what they think. However this is not happening because middle school does not have recess. Kids are suffering, getting bad grades, and getting stressed out. Middle schoolers should have recess at school.…
There are a lot of good effects if school started later. Many teenagers would agree that getting up early in the morning is stressful. School should start later because students would be more focused and less stressed and get better grades and have less of a chance of getting depression with more sleep. We will be arguing that school will start later in the morning. One reason schools should start later is that students can get extra sleep.…
