Trick-or-treating

It was my favorite time of the year. October which means scary costumes, candy, spooky movies, and the best part is I get to go to my grandparents cabin in the woods. I get to go with my 6 friends Jacob, Soucy, Lucy, Carmen, Ryan, and Sharlissa. We get to stay there the whole day of Halloween. Last year was amazing we stayed up all night eating candy and watching movies in the dark with only candles lit. This year is going to be way better we are going to dress up as the living dead and scare…

In the early Christian church, Halloween was a day for remembrance of martyrs, which is also called All Saints Day. All Hallows Eve, was the day before All Saints Day which began that time of remembrance. Presently, Halloween had become mostly a secular holiday. A time when kids dress up in a costume of their favorite fantasy character or a hero, and go door to door collecting candy.

I think that schools should celebrate Halloween. They should be able to represent their costumes. They can have a break from school work and have a party with their class or the whole school. They can walk around their track if they have one. Or the school can do fun school work that involves Halloween. In one of the passages it said that one school plans a couple of days of fun but school work about Halloween. You could learn about plant cycles then learn about pumpkin life cycle. Then you…

Trick or Treated By D. H. Lewis Grace never liked Halloween, not since the dark thing knocked on her door five years ago. Most people only worried about their house being egged or TP'ed, but Grace had more to worry about than a prankster’s mess. Her father's laugh echoed throughout the house. Her daughter Shelley giggled. The man possessed an impressive repertoire of jokes, both good and bad. Shelley had dressed as a clown this year. Last year it was a princess. Shelley liked the dress-up,…

Halloween was always one of my favorite holidays. Especially when the leaves start to change colors and it gets colder. That all changed October 20, 1998. It was a cold October night when it all happened. Kayla, Sabrina and I finally decided to go ride some old dirt roads. As I went to Kayals house I got this funny feeling as I pulled into the driveway, my heart was racing it was beating so fast and loud I could hear it in my head. I just talked myself out if it and got out of the car. As I got…

Though there are many topics out there to choose from, I chose Halloween as mine. In my research, my main questions are from where and who Halloween first surfaced from and how it was then to what it is now. My thesis is still coming along but it is along the lines of “Halloween’s origin isn’t as ‘sweet’ as we have made it out to be“. My paper will be broken down into many different topics all ranging from: Where and who the ‘holiday’ started from, what was the reason, what was involved, how it…
