The poem “The Death of Santa Claus”, by Charles Webb depicts the passing away of Santa in literal terms. For example,in stanza six the author wrote “And he drops on his jelly belly in the snow and Mrs.Claus tears out of the toy factory.” Figuratively this poem contains much more meaning. In this poem the philosophical message is losing an aspect of your childhood and growing up. In stanza three the author says “open waiting rooms upset his stomach,and it's only indigestion anyway,he thinks.” This stanza means that he is beginning to doubt Santa’s existence, but his belief in him is still prominent. Also in stanza five it says”He can’t breathe, and the beautiful white world he loves goes black”. This can represent his loss of innocence hence

Sitting at the kitchen table, watching on as my siblings cried and my parents smiled apologetically, I couldn’t help but wonder why they’d done it. Why they’d gone so much farther than anyone else only to end up here, apologizing for the entire act. Reflecting back, I don’t think I realized how much we benefitted from the charade.

Peel and slice apples, you will want to put them in salt water so they don’t turn brown. When ready to use them, drain off the water and put in kettle. Cook on a high flame stirring once in awhile so the apples don’t stick to the kettle. Keep cooking until apples are soft and can be mashed with a potato masher and sugar and cinnamon to taste and set aside.

In Night a question arises that creates the debate of whether or not to fast? Yom Kippur is ultimately the most significant holiday of the Jewish year, Jews who do not celebrate other Jewish customs, will take part in this tradition. Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement, Jews traditionally fast for 25 hours to show God that they are sorry for their sins and ask for forgiveness. The Jewish people should fast and stay true to their religion. For the reasons of; they owe their survival to their God’s will, secondly, his faith is the one thing that they result back to find comfort in and ultimately the strength/health of one’s mind is due to one’s beliefs. It is by luck some would say that the Jews of Sighet have survived this long, from the random

Most Halloween movies are released around halloween. The first reason why I think Nightmare Before Christmas is a halloween movie is because both the protagonist and antagonists are halloween characters. The protagonist is Jack Skellington and the antagonists is Oogie Boogie. Most people think that skeletons are scary, Jack Skellington is a skeleton and Oogie Boogie is the Boogie Monster.

Some people think that A Nightmare Before Christmas is a Halloween movie, but others argue that it is a Christmas movie. However, I think that A Nightmare Before Christmas is a Christmas movie because it is mainly about learning about Christmas. My first reason for thinking this way is because most of the songs are about Christmas. For example, the songs include : “What’s This?”, “Town Meeting Song”, “Jack’s Obsession”, “Kidnap The Sandy Clause”, and “Making Christmas” are all songs about Christmas.

One reason “The Nightmare Before Christmas” is a Christmas movie is because everyone in Halloween town tries to take over Christmas. When the people in Halloween town try to take over Christmas they try to decorate the town, but they decorate

Have you ever wanted something so bad that you find yourself in the middle of a mystery? Well, Todd never thought he would get into that kind of situation either. Todd was an ordinary elf that worked in Santa’s workshop. You wouldn’t say he had the coolest job though. Todd was the head of the bow tying in the wrapping paper department. Bill and all his friends from the toy making department would always make fun of Todd because they thought his job was lame and nowhere as cool as theirs. Todd did have one friend, and that was Joan, probably the oldest and nicest elf you will ever meet. Joan had one of the most important jobs, she made Santa’s cookies every day.

I agree not every party in this case was innocent. The mother had to have known the dog was vicious. obviously the dog’s caretaker knew that because they kept the dog muzzled. The landlord also had reports of the dog was vicious. So all three parties are negligent and someone liable for what happened to this little boy. All should be held responsible not just the landlord. All three parties had a duty to this child.

Santa Claus is one of the top searches topic on Google during the month of December. So who is “Santa Claus” and why is he so important one may ask. Santa Claus is supposedly a kind and loving mythical figure who deliver presents to good children all over the world on Christmas Eve (24th December).
