Homecoming is filled with tradition, however, this year several new activities were added to make the week more exciting than ever. To make the week a success required meticulous planning and the experience of several veterans. The theme, “Nightmare on Elm Street”, provided for the most anticipated addition, a haunted house after the football game.

Texas a&m has many traditions, ones that include going to Kyle Field at midnight and sacrificing a small child in an opposing team uniform to appease the football gods….I mean…practicing our ever so grand yells, being super nice to people(so nice that our niceness can make people feel uncomfortable), putting current students at a&m through torture by making them stand all through out the football games we play while giving them a false sense of purpose by calling them the 12thman, calling our seniors elephants who are about to die and making them walk around campus remembering all the good or bad times they had ("aw yes! I remember this spot. It's where my girlfriend, who I was with since junior year in high school, broke up with me after

Poems consist of a variation of different techniques in order to convey a message or idea to readers.

The long nights of folding colored paper into meticulous shapes over and over again until your fingers are raw and bleeding. The even longer nights of unfolding the paper, fluffing it up and sticking it into chicken wire. This is called pomping, or also known as placing squares of colored tissue paper to boards. It is also a way to decorate plywood boards that are just a small part of a larger float. Chicken wire, lots of colored plastic sheets and power saws litter the basements and backyards of sorority and fraternity houses all over campus throughout the months leading up to Homecoming week. Pomping is a thorough task which every new sorority member is required to participate in

Tradition is based on practices, ideas and institutions that have passed through time and has been produced from its earliest of origins. Conservatives stress the importance of tradition as it allows continuity between different time frames, traditional conservatives are against change so tradition creates a bases of society staying the same for examples, in terms of being hierarchical.

Being on Homecoming Court was a great experience and I can sincerely say that I enjoyed it. It was nice getting to know the other seniors on court, and it was fun to spend hours of practicing the Homecoming Court dance with them. I learned that there was actually a lot of work that comes with being on court, like learning how to dance in just a few days and participating in all of the assembly rehearsals. I also got to see for myself all of the hard work that ASB and Senate do for the school, and it was really impressive. At the Homecoming Game, the court was a little nervous as we waited for half time to hear the announcement, but the amount of support between us was extraordinary.

Throughout the novel “Homecoming,” the effects of the slave trade on the characters are explored. For example, Quey, the son of Effia, feels the pressure of carrying on his father’s slave industry in the midst of struggling with his identities. According to Quey, “he was one of the half-caste children of the Castle, and, like the other half-caste children, he could not fully claim either half of himself, neither his father’s whiteness nor his mother’s blackness.

When asked to accept a position in his mother’s village, Quey was not enthusiastic about it because he had

Tradition plays a big role in my family for example: the food we eat, the music we listen to, what we dance to and what we celebrate to. I wanted a sweet sixteen but of course being Mexican my parents said no. Being in the Mexican culture tradition is that when you turn 15 you’re supposed to have a Quinceanera it symbolizes that you are no longer a kid but you are now a young women. Many people think a Quinceanera is just a party but the real tradition is to have a church mass. Since I am catholic that consists of me going to church and thanking God.
