My Hometown Of Brick, New Jersey

My hometown Bergenfield, New Jersey is like many cities in the north. Bergenfield is full of rich history and great food for visitors to partake in. The growth of Bergenfield began slow with small residents and then later started to form its own with the help of the state of New Jersey and New York helping to build the George Washington Bridge. When Bergenfield was discovered on June 25, 1894 by a railroad company the city was laid out as Bergen Fields stamped on the tickets.

We all remember dressing up for Halloween night as children. Getting together with best friends and competing to see who has the best costume or can collect the most candy. For some, this was the best night of the year. Then there are the children who sit at home and go through the motions of what their parents do. These parents inevitably will carve a generic looking pumpkin and then sit down and hand out candy to kids the remainder of the night. The children that are staying at home with their parents are handing out candy to the kids who are living and enjoying their Halloween. As Mac Hammond in “Halloween” stresses, the children that are out having fun on Halloween are the true

The novel Ghost is a realistic fiction story about a young boy who joins a track team to outrun his demons. Castle Cranshaw grew up in a poor family living in the ghetto neighborhood, Glass Manor. Ever since his father was placed under arrest for attempting to shoot him and his mother they have lived alone. In this story, the author is trying to show how the alcoholism of Castle’s father threatened to tear apart their family. I strongly believe this is an important subject to write about as it is a real problem that can happen anywhere in the world. Soon kids at Castle’s school acquired the knowledge about his father and bullied him for it. He tried to fight back only causing more trouble for himself at school and at home. When he started causing

Aristotelian and Modern Elements of Tragedy in Our Town In the story of Our Town by Thornton Wilder the protagonist Emily Webb lives the most ordinary type of life known to man.

In the play Emily never takes a single moment to look around and appreciate the life she and is always in a never ending rush to complete the next necessary milestone in her life.

Many Americans celebrate a wide variety of holidays that memorializes an event that changed history or feelings of love, gratitude and prosperity. However, on Halloween many dress in haunting costumes, go door to door for an overload of candy, carve silly and scary pictures into pumpkins, and watch horror films to celebrate, with out a clear reason to why. There is no love or gratitude linked to this holiday, only an eerie evil and mischief. All of our most illogical fears come to life in haunted houses, movies, books and cemetery walks. Not only on October 31, we prepare and celebrate the entire month, but it is not common knowledge as to why we do this all.

Halloween is one of the major events of America’s tradition. I’m fond of the idea of dressing up in awesome costumes. Kids put lots of effort into dressing up and walking down the street, getting candy. It is a big night for trick-or-treating. The trick-or-treating is my favorite part of Halloween. Halloween these days is a threat to our cities. It is one of the deadliest days of the year. For example, the rising in deaths of kids getting hit by cars, the car accidents involved with drunk drivers, and the feeling of being insecure walking at night in the community.

That’s when my older sister (Cheyenne who is fourteen) got an alert from the police about a man who had gotten questioned for a murder, and was last seen in the neighborhood behind ours, so we were told to lock the door, and that’s what we did.

I decided to do research on my hometown, Staunton. So, I was curious about different subjects on Staunton. I finally decided on How was Staunton founded. here is my answer. Staunton is an independent city.

When I woke up this Halloween morning it was pouring.I thought halloween was destroyed and ruined.I played around for a while my dad said “we were going to Chimings we were going there because the kids meals were free”. First it was logan, my brother, max, my dad, zoe, my sister, papal, my grandfather, antonio, my step brother, milesia, my step mom.There were like a hundred people there,and it was the best i've ever seen.we were sitting and then Milesia said the water was a hour.all of us wear a little bit annoyed.all of my family was on a electronic acept me.i sat there and watched people go by and looked at the

On Halloween night people belive that the spirits come back to life. The Celtics in started the tradition and they thought the spirits evoked on October 31st. The owners would place Jack O'lanterns on their property to keep the spirits away. They wore costumes and played games. When the tradiition came to North America the children started the term "Trick or Treat" which meant they would play a trick on you if you didn't give a

“Ding-dong” The doorbell rang as I slowly re-packed my bag to leave my friend’s house, my happiness slowly sunk as I plodded out the door. I gave a faint goodbye to her, disappointed to have to leave early, the sun was barely shining. As my parents drove my sister and I home, there was almost no talking at all, but when we arrived at home, I felt a bit better.

In doing this many people up and down Main St. were vandalizing vehicles and houses for no reason what so ever. Watching students partake in vandalizing property reminded me of what Nicholas Rogers had stated in his article saying, ” a band of street urchins had plagued an unpopular neighbor by knocking his door, bespattering his windows with mud, and even pitching dead cats in the passage beside…”(Rogers 466). I found this particularly interesting because it showed how students today still use Halloween as a night for mischief and disrespectful behavior. My friends and I were taken back at how many people were becoming more violent and disrespectful as the night went

Over the course of your teenage years you have gone places where you were not allowed to be. Well to be exact this one night I was nowhere near the place I was supposed to be, instead I took it upon myself to explore a not so great place to be at night, especially with a group of friends in their drugged state. This was a very frightening, most entertaining night ever!

Only certain trees are good for climbing. Some trees grow narrow, weak limbs that barely support their own weight. Other trees boast trunks so wide that an ascent upwards would take superhuman size. In between lies a sweet spot, a Goldilocks zone of trees that feel sturdy and supportive, yet are a breeze to summit. My hometown of Mineola is that kind of tree, both figuratively and literally.

The most interesting fact I learned from the article was... people dressed up like ghosts, vampires, and other scary creatures because they believed they could scare spirits of the dead away if they dressed scary-like. It has been carried down with for many years but we celebrate it and its fun for kids to dress up. It struck me funny that this was the reason kids dress up for Halloween; and they don’t know why they are other than to get candy. I’ve never been trick-or-treating but it’s odd to know why they do.
