As I was walking back from school with my friends, Will and Alex, we were talking about what we were going to do tonight for Halloween. The teachers seem to be really concerned about us, telling us not to go by ourselves but rather go in big groups or with our parents for trick or treating, like were 13, we can handle ourselves. Mr. Robert our history teacher was telling all the kids that he hates Halloween because it symbolizes the devil and demons. He was yelling at another student, I forgot her name but she was saying that she was going to dress up as the devil and try to summon other demons he was not having it, he kicked her out immediately. As she was leaving she said something weird speaking gibberish something like “Ligandum eos …show more content…
He had thrown it as far as he could and it landed in the forest and down the hill. We only had one choice but to go down and find my limited edition football. It was getting pretty dark so we had to be quick. Will brought some flashlights for us to use, we asked him why he had them and he said he's afraid to walk in the dark alone. Alex and I just started laughing at the ridiculousness of way just said. I told him the last time I was afraid of the dark was when I was five. It was my first time sleeping without a night-light and I thought there was something in my closet. I kept on crying and crying until my mom came in and showed me that there was nothing there, ever since that I've never been afraid of the dark. We started to descend the hill to search for the ball it was fall however, there were so many piles of leaves that resembled the ball. It would have been hard to find it. At this time it was getting pretty dark so we turned on the flashlights to get a better look. I told my friends they have to stay with me or else they would reach out to giving me $50 to replace the football. 15 minutes had passed and we were getting tired I said “we can come back tomorrow and look for it then.” They said okay that's fine but how are we going to get out, no one had taken directions so we were lost in the forest just the three of us. So we just guessed which way was out and we started walking in that direction. A couple of minutes had passed and Alex tripped on something, his
Halloween: the holiday where as kids we couldn’t wait to go door to door to achieve the golden goal of a full bag of candy. Halloween soon turns into a question mark for teens; in an instant, there is a change of when it is ‘appropriate’ to go trick-or-treating and when you should just move on. Are you the one who thinks Trick-or-treating is lame or the one who still walks around your neighborhood every year -- no matter how many dirty looks you may get. What teenagers decide to do on Halloween varies: going to a party, passing out candy, staying home are a few popular options. Throughout my highschool experience I have been able to witness and experience all different types of halloteens, each with their own traits.
Every year millions of kids get dressed up, knock on doors, and beg for candy. With Halloween just around the corner, you all are probably wondering where this strange tradition came from. Every year I have experienced this holiday and have done research on this topic. According to a 2014 Smithsonian.com article, stated by Natasha Geiling, in just one year Americans spent over six billion dollars on candy, costumes, and ghoulish decor in anticipation for Halloween. Many people think all Halloween is about dressing up and going trick or treating but there's more to it than that. The roots and variations from all around are what makes Halloween what it is today. In order to understand this holiday, we will go into the history of Halloween, how it's celebrated around the world, and superstitions revolving it.
Purpose: To inform the audience of how Halloween started and transformed to what it is now.
Finally…. Halloween was here. I have waited all year for this day. My all time favorite holiday. School was finally over and I slipped on my costume and jetted out the door. I was ready for the spooky scares, chilly air, and crazy dares that happen on halloween night. My friend Kayla and I walked to each door chanting “trick or treat”, but one house appeared to be kind of peculiar. The house was big, white, and the tiles were falling off. Nobody dared to step on the property of the house.
Halloween is a night of sweets, outfits, and fun that exclusively comes around once per year on October 31st. This is a period when individuals get an opportunity to dress up and be somebody or something else. Individuals can go to parties, haunted houses, or go trick or-treating. There are things to people do no matter their age. Halloween is filled with rich with history, old religious convictions, and stories.
Also there are limits that the district is spot on, like they don't want anyone to wear extremely terrifying costumes to school, as a result of someone calling the police. This is totally understandable that this shouldn't be allowed, but not being able to be a character and not have heavy makeup on is a little over the line. A girl or guy should be able to have some purple lipstick on or a smokey eye, that won't distract anyone from learning. Being able to dress and show who you truly are is the definition of Halloween. Sandra Belle also agrees, she says, “This doesn’t seem like it may be a good idea to me, it completely ruins the meaning of Halloween. Kids enjoy Halloween because they can show what they like by dressing up like what they like. Halloween has been a tradition for kids all over, and should not be restricted. There are limits on how short dresses and skirts should be on costumes though.” What Sandra says is one hundred percent correct at this point, we were all born to be able to express ourselves. It's Halloween, it is suppose to be scary! What's the point if the districts are taking every teens imagination away to a point where everyone will be dull and boring in the next 20 years. These high schools should not take the enjoyment away from us, halloween is the entire point to be scary. How does the districts define their Halloween, because taking scary away from this holiday is just
Until the 1960's, the majority of the children used to wear Halloween outfits made by their moms. This was principally in light of the fact that the dresses that children wore in those days were for the most part straightforward outfits and plastic or paper veils that made a child show up like apparition, witch, sovereign, princess or pixie. Kids Halloween outfits have progressed beyond anyone's expectations from that point forward. They are accessible in entire loads of assortments today from conventional Halloween ensembles to some awe inspiring outfits focused around different subjects and characters. The kids' outfits can be purchased today focused around their most loved toon character, mainstream superhero and the scariest of the outsiders, and so forth.
With Halloween coming near, we all get busy preparing for all the excitement it brings along with it. Everybody in the family including your pet doggy is all excited about Halloween. Earlier, families having pets would leave them at home because of lack of Halloween dog costumes available in the market. Today all dog lovers are so enthusiastic about their pets taking part in Halloween celebrations as part of their own family. There are many pet parades and competitions arranged during this festive time and everyone loves to dress up their dog as per the festivity. In fact, one need not go far searching for the right Halloween dog costumes for their furry friends as the Internet is full of creative dog boutiques that specialize in such costumes and more.
One of the most vibrant and thrilling times to visit Caliente Resort & Spa is the last week of October each year for the spectacle that's known as "Halloween Week!"
This year for Halloween I am dressing up as a prisoner and my little sister, Carson is dressing up as a fairy. We run out to the car as Mom pulls up with our costumes in the car. She lets us try them on to make sure everything fits and then puts them up in her closet for the last few days until Halloween gets here. She knows if she lets us have them they will get messed up or lost, so she always puts them away where we cannot find them. As Halloween day gets closer the school sets up for a “spook walk” where all the kids get to wear their Halloween costumes around the gymnasium in a line to show them off to all the other students and the parents to attend. They have a few awards for children who had the best costumes. This tradition has always

The most interesting thing I learned was why we make the jack-o-lantern. We make jack-o-lantern to keep jack away because he wasn’t accepted to heaven or hell. Jack was stuck on earth and people didn’t want him in his house so they used jack-o-lanterns to keep him away. He had to stay until judgement day to be trialed to where he should go. That’s the most interesting thing I learned about the Halloween tradition.

It’s the night that sends shivers down our spines. The night where ghosts and goblins pass into our world, stalking us as we in collect treats from house to house. Halloween. Yes, it all seems like simple fun, as we get to take part in parades, dress as your favourite character, and try to ignore the other individuals dressed as monsters, attempting to scare us. However, just like the monsters we dress as yet fear under our beds, the history of Halloween is more frightening than a simple “boo” from a fellow trick-or-treater.
